IT HARDWARE PROCUREMENT & DEVICE MANAGEMENT

Starport manages the full hardware lifecycle. Selecting appropriate business-grade devices, purchasing through preferred supplier relationships, configuring devices to organizational standards, and deploying to employees, either at a central office or directly to remote locations across Canada.

Yes. Starport recommends hardware based on actual role requirements, considering performance needs, whether employees work remotely or in-office, operating system preference, and budget. This reduces the risk of purchasing underpowered, overpowered, or incompatible devices.

Yes. Starport ships configured hardware directly to office locations or individual employees across Canada, including remote team members in Prince Edward Island, Toronto, or other provinces. Devices arrive ready to use, reducing setup time and coordination overhead for the internal team.

No. Starport sources hardware through established partnerships with Lenovo, HP, and Dell, plus access to national distribution channels, providing pricing and availability that most small and mid-sized organizations cannot access independently. Purchasing through Starport also avoids consumer-grade substitutions, reduces configuration errors, and lowers total lifecycle cost.

No. Hardware is quoted and invoiced separately from monthly service fees. Pricing is provided before purchase. There are no hidden markups or bundled hardware costs within the service subscription.

The client organization owns all hardware. Starport procures and manages devices on behalf of the client, but ownership and asset title remain with the organization throughout the device lifecycle.
