The challenge

Rapid global growth stretched ZeroNorth’s legacy processes. Spreadsheets and disconnected systems (MDMs, HR, directories) caused slow onboarding, inconsistent IT standards across offices, missed returns, and unpredictable spending - making it hard to scale without adding headcount.

The outcome

Velory became ZeroNorth’s single source of truth for devices and procurement - automating provisioning, returns and approvals so new hires get kit on day one, IT workload dropped, inventory accuracy and employee satisfaction improved, and costs became predictable.

A word from

Before Velory

After Velory

From manual onboarding to automated day-one provisioning

Before Velory

With MDMs, HR, and directory tools running in parallel, onboarding slowed and compliance became harder to manage consistently.

After Velory

Automated workflows connected to HR and identity systems ensure new hires are equipped on day one and leavers’ devices are recovered without hassle.

From spreadsheets to a single source of truth

Before Velory

Managing assets in spreadsheets worked in the early days, but as headcount grew it became harder to keep track.

After Velory

Every device is now tracked automatically in a single source of truth, eliminating manual work and ensuring nothing goes missing.

From missed returns to closed-loop device recovery

Before Velory

Without automated reminders, some devices slipped through the cracks, reducing asset value and adding cost.

After Velory

Buyouts and returns are handled in-platform, closing the loop so devices are recovered and residual value is captured.

From ad-hoc spend to predictable IT costs

Before Velory

Buying equipment as needed was natural for a fast-growing business, but it made spend harder to forecast and control.

After Velory

Real-time visibility of assets and spend gives the company a clear view, enabling accurate budgets and reliable forecasts.

Everything is captured - nothing is lost. Velory has made device tracking effortless.
