Hardware procurement — for managed clients

Stop chasing vendors to buy a laptop.

Send one email with what the user does. We come back with a quote, procure the machine, and image it. A tech shows up to plug it in. That's the whole process.

WHAT IT COVERS

Hardware procurement as a managed-IT deliverable.

3T Pro runs the full five-step sequence: assess the workload, spec the machine, source it through distribution, configure it to your standard image, and deliver it with a technician onsite to plug it in and verify it's working. No store visits, no sales-rep negotiation, no setup day for your staff.

The usual way takes three browser tabs, a reseller quote that takes a week, three vendors quoting three different models with delivery dates that don't line up, and a box that sits on a shelf until someone can image it, domain-join it, install line-of-business apps, and walk it to the desk. We took the whole thing off your plate.

HOW PROCUREMENT ACTUALLY RUNS

Five steps. Start to finish.

  1. 01

    Email what you need.

    One email with what the user does. Your account lead already knows your domain, your standard image, and what the last person in that seat got. Unusual asks like a CAD workstation or a 2U server fit the same email.

    Same day email reply

  2. 02

    Get a quote.

    We spec the machine against the workload, pull distributor pricing from Lenovo for desktops and laptops or HPE for servers, and send back model, configuration, warranty tier, and lead time. Tradeoffs get called out before you sign.

    24 to 48 hrs quote turnaround

  3. 03

    Approve.

    One signature. Our procurement handles the PO, the purchase, the tracking, the warranty registration. You stop thinking about it.

    1 signature e-sign or PDF

  4. 04

    Receive pre-configured.

    The shipment routes through Richardson first, not your office. Engineers image the machine to your standard build: OS, Microsoft 365 tenant, endpoint agent, VPN, printer drivers, line-of-business apps, user profile. Then it ships to you.

    2 to 7 days imaging window

  5. 05

    Tech onsite to plug it in.

    An engineer drives out the day the machine arrives. Cable it, sign the user in, confirm file access, hand over the laptop bag. Servers get racked, cabled, and cut over on a scheduled window outside business hours.

WHAT THE PROCUREMENT SERVICE COVERS

From a single laptop to a rack-mount server.

Desktops

Lenovo ThinkStation workstations for the seats that need real cores and real memory — engineers, CAD operators, designers, accountants running year-end. Small-form-factor to full tower, configured to the workload.

Laptops

Lenovo ThinkPad T Series — the keyboard-forward, serviceable business laptop built for a long service life. Configured for the user profile (road warrior, hot-desk, hybrid) and domain-joined before it ships.

SEE LAPTOPS →

Servers

HPE ProLiant servers for file, application, and virtualization workloads. We spec the RAID, warranty, and iLO management licensing to match your recovery plan. From ML Class towers for a small office to DL Class rack-mount for a datacenter closet.

SPECIALTY AND ONE-OFF

Beyond the catalog: workstations and the weird one-off.

A

CAD-class workstations

Architecture, engineering, and design firms need workstation-class parts — professional GPU, ECC memory, NVMe storage, a CPU built for the solver. That's a configuration discussion, not a catalog pick.

  • AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo
  • ISV-certified GPUs and ECC memory options
  • Single-seat to render-tier builds
  • Workload scoped before quote

ISV certified

B

Networking, peripherals, and the weird one-off

Firewalls, switches, access points, monitors, docks, UPS batteries, a replacement SSD, a specific NIC for a specific old server, a Mac for the one designer who needs one.

  • Firewalls, switches, access points, UPS
  • Monitors, docks, keyboards, mice
  • Apple supported when the seat calls for it
  • Lenovo and HPE remain the defaults
