4,000 laptops 2 IT staff
“Now that I only have one procurement specialist who's managing all of our equipment across the globe – which is, in essence, around 4000 laptops – it's very difficult for us to maintain the same level of success without having a managed partner like Firstbase helping us facilitate that.”

Manager, IT Program Management

Global view, one platform
“Before, everything was on a spreadsheet with somewhat accuracy. We didn't really have the ability to understand our fleet. Now that we have everything through Firstbase, we understand our inventory. We know what we have out there. It's in our span of control. We're on pace to actually use AI and other tools to get predictive.”

One integrated platform for scale
“We have an IT Service Management system (ITSM) that keeps track of all our tickets. If a Cresta employee has a broken charger, for example, they can put in a ticket requesting a new one. If the item is in our IT ‘closet,’ we'll approve the request and they can go on Firstbase and order it immediately.”

Audit ready with a click
“With a system like Firstbase, there’s an audit trail when you transfer a laptop to another person or another office.

We know where our PII and PCI is, both in the cloud and physically. You don’t get that with a spreadsheet.”

Vice President, Information Security

I use Jira Service Desk or ServiceNow for IT asset management, how do you all differ from them? (See how we compliment them, rather than replace)
Answer: Jira Service Desk and ServiceNow are great for tracking IT tickets and managing assets on a system level, but they don’t handle the physical logistics of getting devices to and from employees. That’s where Firstbase comes in.

Firstbase complements these tools by taking care of everything outside the software—ordering, shipping, retrieving, repairing, and storing hardware. Instead of IT teams manually coordinating device logistics, Firstbase automates the process while keeping all asset data synced with your existing ITSM platform.

Jira/ServiceNow: Tracks IT tickets, software issues, and asset records.
Firstbase: Physically gets hardware where it needs to go, manages retrievals, and ensures employees always have the right equipment.

By using Firstbase alongside Jira or ServiceNow, IT teams can keep asset records accurate, eliminate manual logistics work, and ensure devices are always accounted for—without extra admin work.
I use SHI, CDW, Growrk, or another solution, why should I switch to Firstbase?
Answer: It saves you time and money, calculate your savings here, the reason companies are switching to Firstbase is because of our our outstanding customer support and top rates. We take pride in meeting our SLAs. Don't believe us? Reach out and we'll connect you with one of our customers about the Firstbase difference.
Will outsourcing to Firstbase cause us to lose control over our IT asset management?
Answer: Not at all. In fact, Firstbase enhances your control over IT asset management by providing a centralized platform where you can track, manage, and report on all your devices globally. While we take care of the logistics, you retain full visibility and decision-making power. Additionally, our platform is designed to be a true zero-touch solution, automating the entire asset lifecycle from procurement to retrieval. However, we recognize that no process is truly zero-touch without the right partner, and that’s where our global infrastructure comes in to support your needs fully.
How does Firstbase pricing compare to traditional asset management solutions?
Answer: While Firstbase may initially seem more expensive than traditional, manual asset management methods, the value we provide through physical services, reduced operational overhead, and minimized asset loss often results in significant cost savings over time. Our pricing model reflects the comprehensive nature of our service, including global logistics, zero-touch provisioning, and integrated asset management. By choosing Firstbase, you invest in a solution that reduces long-term costs, increases efficiency, and enhances the employee experience. Reach out today to get a custom quote!
