Our upgraded configuration centre – what it means for you

We’re excited to announce that we have upgraded our Configuration Centre in response to increased customer demand. Located in the North West close to major road, rail and air freight networks, we can ensure the rapid delivery of configured hardware straight to our customers – across the UK and beyond. Thanks to the scale that we can now operate at, we can offer an even greater range of high quality and affordable services for stretched IT teams.

Our upscale in configuration capacity has been driven by various factors, including the growing replacement of hardware assets purchased during the pandemic that are now approaching refresh. Additionally, hybrid working patterns have elevated the importance of shipping ready-to-go devices to users’ homes and with IT teams working in the same way, the practicality of performing hardware configuration internally is greatly reduced.

Pre-configured hardware not only saves time, but also eliminates the hassle of sourcing the hands and space required to complete manually intensive tasks to properly set up devices. By opting for our configuration services, your business can enjoy a frictionless hardware experience where everything from imaging to packaging removal and specialised supply chain logistics is taken care of.

The new configuration centre will deliver a 50% increase in configuration capacity, enabling our team to work on more hardware simultaneously, including desktops, laptops, mobile devices, servers, and network devices. This is a product of both increased physical space and automation, made possible thanks to investment in complimentary technology.

Located alongside our secure warehouse facility, the upgraded space provides ample capacity for bonded and buffer stock to be held for our customers and then configured on-demand, as reserved stock is called off as needed. This secures hardware supply by always guaranteeing availability. The assurance that devices can then be safely delivered from the configuration centre to any global location, including UK domestic addresses, is invaluable for ensuring new hardware rollouts take place on time and with minimal disruption.

The Configuration Centre upgrade means that there is now excellent availability for our customers who may be seeking this type of support. We are pleased to offer a variety of services:
