Components of IT Warehousing as a Service

Secure Warehousing:

  • Storage Facilities: Warehouses are equipped with security measures such as CCTV systems, access controls, and environmental controls to protect IT assets.
  • Inventory Management: With the adoption of real-time tracking practices, the stock units remain intact, thereby ensuring that inventory management doesn’t get impacted by inconsistent supplies, maintenance woes, and shortages of supplies.

Asset Management:

  • Tracking and Tagging: Each device is tagged and tracked using asset management software, allowing for real-time visibility of the location of the asset and its status.
  • Lifecycle Management: From procurement to deployment, maintenance, and eventual disposal, all stages of the device lifecycle are managed efficiently.

Logistics Support:

  • Dispatch and Delivery: Seamless and Coordinated logistics for the delivery and retrieval of devices, ensuring timely and efficient service.
  • Returns and Repairs: Facilitation of streamlined processes for handling returns and repairs, minimizing downtime for end-users.

Staging:

  • Pre-Deployment Configuration: Devices are unboxed, configured, and tested before being deployed to end-users. This includes installing necessary software, updates, and settings.
  • Quality Assurance: Ensures that each device meets the required standards and is ready for immediate use upon arrival at its destination.
  • Bundling: Grouping and preparing devices with necessary peripherals and documentation for streamlined deployment.

Spares Management:

  • Inventory of Spare Devices: Maintaining a pool of spare devices to quickly replace faulty or end-of-life equipment.
  • Rapid Deployment: Ensures minimal downtime by providing ready-to-deploy spare devices as needed.
  • Tracking and Rotation: Regular rotation and tracking of spare devices to ensure they are up-to-date and in good working condition.

Technology Refresh Projects:

  • Phased Rollouts: Structured approach to refreshing technology, minimizing disruption to business operations.
  • Asset Disposal: Secure and environmentally friendly disposal of obsolete equipment, including data wiping and e-waste certification.
