Remote and hybrid working has become the norm in recent years, and the benefits for both employers and employees mean that this trend is here to stay. One of the downsides for employers though is that they often need to provide physical equipment to their remote workers for them to do their jobs, which requires a level of procurement and equipment management that many companies lack the skills and expertise to manage effectively.
Firstbase exists to solve this issue, providing an equipment management platform for remote workforces which allows companies to automate hardware onboarding and offboarding, manage financing and track equipment locations within a single software suite. The company aims to simplify device management, streamline procurement and give employees access to the hardware they need.
Recently, the company was acquired by AppDirect, integrating Firstbase's IT asset management into its platform. Originally focused on startups, Firstbase is now expanding into larger companies and plans to grow internationally, with a focus on the UK, US, and Europe. This acquisition strengthens its ability to support the growing remote workforce, offering a unified solution for managing telecom, software, and IT assets through AppDirect's advisor network.
