Simplify Your Hardware Procurement with Louisville Geek’s Managed IT Services
For growing businesses in Kentucky, managing IT hardware can be a time-consuming and expensive challenge. From selecting the right devices to ensuring proper setup, the process often pulls internal teams away from more strategic work. That’s why more companies are turning to Procurement as a Service—a smarter, more efficient way to source, configure, and deploy business technology through a trusted IT partner.
What Is Procurement as a Service?
Procurement as a Service (PaaS) is a fully managed solution that takes the complexity out of acquiring and deploying hardware. Instead of navigating vendors, licenses, and logistics on your own, your MSP handles everything:
- Recommending business-grade devices tailored to your needs
- Ordering and receiving hardware from trusted distributors
- Prepping each device according to your company’s standards using automation tools like ImmyBot
- Shipping or delivering equipment to your team
- Providing onsite setup with white-glove service
- Managing inventory so devices are ready when you need them
This approach ensures every device arrives ready to work, with the correct licensing, configuration, and warranty coverage. It also eliminates the risk of purchasing personal-grade machines that may not meet business requirements.

At Louisville Geek, procurement support is included in our flat-fee MSP offering. Clients benefit from a streamlined process without hidden fees or inflated hardware costs. We believe technology should be easy to manage, from purchase to deployment, so your team can stay focused on growth.

What Businesses Should Expect from Their MSP When It Comes to Procurement
Choosing the right Managed IT Services Provider means more than just getting IT support—it means partnering with a team that can simplify and streamline your entire technology lifecycle. When it comes to hardware procurement, here’s what growing businesses should expect from a modern MSP:
1. Strategic Hardware Recommendations
Your MSP should help you select devices that align with your business goals, user needs, and budget. This includes recommending business-grade machines that are compatible with your software stack and future-ready for upgrades like Windows 11.
2. Licensing That Fits Your Environment
Consumer-grade devices often come with incorrect or limited licensing. A reliable MSP ensures every machine is properly licensed for business use, avoiding compliance issues and functionality gaps.
3. Automated Device Preparation
Manual setup is time-consuming and inconsistent. Your MSP should use automation tools like ImmyBot to configure devices according to your company’s standards, ensuring every machine is secure, optimized, and ready to deploy.
4. Inventory Management
Having hardware on hand when you need it is critical. Your MSP should offer inventory management services, storing pre-approved devices onsite so replacements, new hires, or refreshes can happen without delay.
5. Seamless Shipping and Onsite Setup
Whether your team is local or remote, your MSP should handle logistics. This includes domestic and international shipping through trusted partners like FedEx, and onsite setup with white-glove service to ensure a smooth rollout.
6. Warranty-Backed Devices
Procured hardware should come with manufacturer warranties to protect your investment and reduce long-term support costs.
7. Proactive Refresh Planning
With operating systems like Windows 10 reaching end-of-support, your MSP should guide you through timely hardware refreshes to maintain security, performance, and compliance.
