Tequipy Raises €3M to Automate IT Logistics

The big picture: Tequipy, a Polish-British startup, has secured over €3 million in funding to expand its IT automation platform beyond hardware into software and security operations. The company Tequipy.com aims to eliminate approximately 80% of manual tasks for global IT teams.

Why it matters:

• Manual burden: IT specialists often spend valuable time on manual device logistics, such as packing boxes and wiping laptops, instead of focusing on building scalable systems.
• Global complexity: For globally distributed organizations, providing an employee’s laptop initiates a complex, cross-border operation spanning potentially dozens of countries, involving procurement, configuration, delivery, servicing, and recovery.
• Inefficient solutions: Existing methods rely on spreadsheets, local suppliers, and couriers, or global vendors with slow, expensive models, making them unsuitable for fast-growing companies.

How it works:

• Integrated platform: Tequipy combines software with a network of over 800 authorized local resellers in 180+ countries to purchase, configure, and retrieve IT devices on the ground.
• Rapid deployment: Devices are sourced locally, pre-configured for client MDM systems (e.g., Jamf, Intune), and delivered with an average turnaround time of three days.
• Full lifecycle management: The platform manages the entire device lifecycle, including servicing, offboarding, storage, redeployment, and sellback, streamlining operations for IT teams.

The catch: While Tequipy addresses a critical pain point for distributed teams, the broader IT asset management and device-as-a-service markets are competitive. Scaling a physical network across 180 countries presents significant logistical challenges, and established IT service providers or large enterprises with robust in-house solutions could pose competition.
