Tequipy, a platform that ships, services, and retrieves employee IT devices in 180+ countries, has raised over €3 million in a round led by Smedvig Ventures, with participation from Manta Ray and Unfold.vc.
The company already works with more than 150 fast-growing tech companies, including Booksy, Connecteam, Gigs, ICEYE, RemoFirst, and Taptap Send, and has grown 7x in the last year.
The company will use the funding to expand its platform beyond hardware into software and security operations.
For globally distributed companies, an employee laptop is no longer a simple procurement item. It is the start of a cross-border operation that can run across 10, 30, 60 or 180 countries at once. Every device has to be purchased, configured to security policy, delivered on time, serviced, recovered during offboarding, and then routed back into circulation, storage or resale.
That process is still largely manual. IT teams are left stitching together spreadsheets, local suppliers, couriers, customs brokers, warehouses and endless follow-ups. Global vendors solve parts of the problem, but often through long contracts, centralised warehousing and hardware markups that make the model too slow and expensive for fast-growing companies.
