Customer testimonials
The real cost of manual equipment retrieval
Coordinating device retrieval manually drains resources. Your IT team spends hours chasing down employees across time zones, managing shipping logistics, handling international customs, and tracking returned items — all while security risks mount.
-
Time wasted on coordination
IT managers spend 8–12 hours per offboarding just managing equipment logistics. Across distributed teams, this multiplies fast.
-
Hidden cost of write-offs
Organizations lose $2,000–$4,000 per unreturned device when factoring in replacement costs and lost productivity.
-
Security & compliance risk
Devices with customer data scattered globally create GDPR and SOC 2 nightmares without documented offboarding.
-
International complexity
Customs, shipping restrictions, and language barriers across 150 countries break traditional ITAD workflows.

Yes. GroWrk operates in 150+ countries with local logistics partners, customs expertise, and language support. Our platform handles everything from documentation to carrier selection for every major market.
IT offboarding is the process of revoking a departing employee's access and recovering company assets. Equipment retrieval is critical because unreturned devices represent financial losses of $2,000–$4,000 each and create data security and compliance risks.
All returned devices undergo certified data wiping following NIST 800-88 standards. We provide a certificate of destruction for every device, meeting SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR documentation requirements.
Devices that pass inspection are refurbished and made available for redeployment to new hires. Devices beyond repair are sent to certified e-waste partners for responsible disposal — keeping materials out of landfills.
Most retrievals complete within 7–14 business days, depending on the employee's location. Expedited options are available for urgent offboarding, and our platform provides real-time tracking so you always know where a device is in the process.
