6 Device Rescue Alternatives to Retrieve IT Assets

Written by Pooja Srivastava | Aug 27, 2024 9:00:00 AM

Device Rescue is an asset management solution that simplifies your company’s equipment return process while offboarding laptops from current or ex-employees. 

It provides complete return assurance by implementing reliable return protocols. The tool adheres to local compliance rules, eliminating international shipping and customs charges.

Device Rescue handles each element of the retrieval process, enabling peace of mind.

It ensures: 

  • Transparent communication with employees in case of delays (or, if not).

  • All retrieval kits come with a self-stick return label.

  • You can access tracking numbers, shipping status, and retrieval details.

  • Its carriers are 100% carbon neutral, provided at no cost.

TL;DR

  • Device Rescue is an IT equipment retrieval platform that retrieves laptops from your ex or current employees.

  • It has shortcomings—it is limited only to retrieving IT assets, doesn’t deliver internationally, allows zero customizations, and doesn't integrate with key HRIS platforms.

  • The popular 2024 alternatives to Device Rescue are Workwize, ReReady, Retriever, Revivn, Allwhere, GroWrk, and Rayda.

  • It’s limited to IT asset retrieval and management.

  • Furniture is not included in the process.
