Delivery is not the same as lifecycle execution.
Logistics providers can move technology from one place to another. Egiss connects sourcing, configuration, provisioning, local delivery, lifecycle visibility, ITAD, reporting and accountability across countries.
Delivery to 180+ countries with lifecycle services connected across Deploy, Manage and Retire.
Use logistics providers for transport. Use lifecycle services when the outcome must be ready, visible and governed.
A logistics provider can be the right partner when the main problem is moving goods reliably through transport and fulfilment networks.
Egiss is more relevant when the enterprise needs technology to be sourced, configured, provisioned, delivered, tracked, governed, recovered and reported as part of one lifecycle model.
When logistics providers work
Logistics providers are strong when movement is the main requirement.
- Transport and warehousing are the primary needs.
- Technology is already sourced, configured and ready to ship.
- The buyer owns catalogues, provisioning, asset data and ITAD.
- Delivery tracking is enough.
- Lifecycle reporting is handled through other systems and partners.
Where logistics-only models break down
The gap appears before and after the shipment.
- No ownership of technology sourcing or catalogue standards.
- No provisioning, imaging, enrolment or readiness process.
- No lifecycle asset visibility beyond shipping status.
- No governance over device standards and local exceptions.
- No connection to ITAD, data sanitisation or recovery value.
- No sustainability reporting tied to the asset lifecycle.
- No single partner accountable for price, quality and delivery.
- IT operations still coordinate between reseller, logistics provider, ITAD provider and internal teams.

Egiss makes delivery part of the lifecycle, not a separate handoff.

Egiss connects delivery to the work around it: sourcing, catalogue governance, provisioning, stock, reporting, ITAD and sustainability documentation.
- Global sourcing and procurement support.
- Standardised catalogues.
- Configuration and provisioning.
- Logistics and local delivery.
- Stock and buffer models.
- Lifecycle reporting and service coordination.
- ITAD and sustainability reporting.
- Blue Stripe Guarantee for price, quality and delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Is transport the problem, or is lifecycle coordination the problem?
Egiss can help assess whether your deployment model needs logistics support only, or a lifecycle services model that connects sourcing, provisioning, delivery, reporting and retirement.
