Overview
Firstbase provides a global equipment management platform that lets organizations source, provision, and manage devices and peripherals for remote, hybrid, and in-office teams from a single system. Employees can onboard automatically through a self-service portal and choose devices, IT peripherals, and furniture, while the platform handles provisioning and order tracking. It manages the full asset lifecycle—cleaning, wiping, redeploying recovered devices, and end-of-life recycling—plus over 100 app integrations and worldwide coverage for distributed teams. Its goal is to reduce logistics effort and costs by centralizing procurement, deployment, security, and end-of-life handling for all team equipment.
