About Orium

Orium (formerly MyPlanet) is a software studio with a global presence specializing in creating digital experience platforms using best-in-class technology to support seamless, data-informed journeys. Based in Toronto, Orium has experienced high growth and sought to tap into the Latin American talent pool.

The problem

Orium moved from a remote-friendly to a remote-first policy. They further wanted to scale fast and benefit from opening their talent pool outside of Canada. Looking to Latin America for talent, they faced the challenge of providing equipment to their new hires fast and reliably. 

For Orium, one of the most challenging aspects of providing equipments for their global team was:

• Having to source for local equipment providers

• How to enable quick delivery of equipment

• How to establish relationships with different local partners and overcome language barriers

• How to set up remote employees to be compliant

• Ability to give new hires a great end-user experience

The solution

Orium found GroWrk and with it a solution

• that is cost-effective
• provides access to over 150+ countries 
• takes care of procurement, management, taxes, shipping, and recovery of IT equipment 

The Results

Orium has increased the number of its remote employees to 180 and now has employees in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Chile. 

Even on short notice, Orium can set up their new hires for success.
