Customer testimonials
The real cost of manual device enrollment
Without automation, every device is a manual project. IT spends hours per laptop on imaging, MDM enrollment, and identity setup. Apple DEP and device enrollment programs help, but only if you have the procurement and logistics to run them globally.
-
Hands-on imaging
Hands-on imaging does not scale across countries or hires. Every hour spent prepping a laptop is an hour IT cannot spend elsewhere.
-
DEP and Apple ADE gaps
Apple's automated device enrollment needs devices purchased through enrolled resellers. Without that, the workflow falls apart.
-
Cross-OS complexity
Apple ADE, Windows Autopilot, and Linux setup each run their own way. Few platforms tie all three into one enrollment program.
-
Global procurement mismatch
Apple DEP and similar device enrollment programs assume local enrolled resellers. Distributed teams rarely have that everywhere.
Five steps to true automated device enrollment
GroWrk handles the procurement, enrollment, and identity setup that make Apple's automated device enrollment and Autopilot actually work globally.
-
Status: Order PlacedProcure through enrolled resellers
We source through Apple-enrolled resellers and Windows OEM partners in every supported country, so devices land already eligible for ADE or Autopilot.
-
Status: Awaiting EmployeeAuto-enroll in MDM
Devices ship pre-enrolled in your MDM. The Apple device enrollment program registration happens before the laptop reaches the employee.
-
Status: In ProgressIdentity-connect
SSO, identity provider, and group memberships are configured on first sign-in. The employee inherits the right access automatically.
-
Product: ReceivedApply policy
Security, app, and configuration policies attach the moment the device activates. The device enrollment program enforces standards automatically.

Product: Ready to UseTrack every enrollment
Every enrollment lands in your dashboard, tied to a person, location, and lifecycle stage. Automated device enrollment becomes a known quantity.
The IT teams' choice for automated device enrollment
Multi-OS support
Apple ADE, Windows Autopilot, and Linux provisioning run on the same platform. One workflow regardless of the device employee picks.
Identity-first setup
SSO and identity provider integrations mean every enrolled device knows who its user is, what groups they belong to, and access scope.
Policy from day one
Security, app, and configuration policies attach at activation. Devices never reach employees in an unmanaged or unenrolled state.
Full lifecycle context
Enrollment is one stage. GroWrk also handles procurement, support, retrieval, and disposition, so device life stays tracked end to end.

Frequently asked questions
Automated device enrollment is the process of registering a new device with your MDM, identity provider, and policy engine before it reaches the employee. Apple's automated device enrollment, also known as Apple ADE or DEP, is the best known program. Windows Autopilot and others play the same role. The goal is a device that activates already managed.
Apple DEP, the Device Enrollment Program, was the original name for what is now Apple's automated device enrollment, also called Apple ADE. They refer to the same workflow: enrolling Apple devices in your MDM through enrolled resellers like GroWrk. The newer Apple device enrollment program branding rolled DEP into Apple Business Manager.
Apple automated device enrollment requires devices to be purchased through Apple-enrolled resellers. GroWrk operates as an enrolled reseller in 150+ countries, so Apple ADE works for your team no matter where they live. The Apple device enrollment registration happens at procurement, not at the employee's desk, so the laptop is ready the moment it powers on.
Yes. Beyond Apple ADE, GroWrk supports Windows Autopilot for Windows laptops and configuration profiles for Linux workstations. The same workflow runs across the three operating systems, so your IT team is not maintaining three separate enrollment programs. Whichever device a role calls for, the device enrollment program runs the same way.
You connect GroWrk to your MDM, identity provider, and HRIS once. From there, the device enrollment program runs automatically for every order. We assign devices to your Apple Business Manager or Microsoft tenant, ship in seven days, and the employee gets a managed device on activation. The IT setup work is front-loaded once, then reused forever.
Yes. GroWrk's team configures the Apple ADE connection between your Apple Business Manager, your MDM, and your identity provider during onboarding. After the initial setup, every Apple device we ship is auto-assigned to your tenant and enrolled before delivery. Most customers go from no ADE coverage to fully automated Apple device enrollment within their first week.
