Workwize is a Dutch software-as-a-service company based in Amsterdam. It runs an online platform that helps businesses buy, set up, repair and replace laptops, phones, and other IT and office equipment for their employees, especially when people are working remotely or in hybrid teams.[1]
History
[edit]Workwize was founded in Amsterdam in 2021 by Michiel Meyer, Victor Dik, Sebastiaan Scholten and Dirk Kranendijk.[2] Initially, the company responded to work-from-home restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic, to enable companies to buy and manage home-office equipment - from coffee to desks and printing paper - for their remote workers.[3] In 2022, Workwize raised a €1.5 million seed round, following an earlier round of more than €0.5 million in growth capital.[4] That same year, the company was named Startup of the Year 2022 by MT/Sprout.[5]
The company then shifted its focus from supplying home-office equipment to managing IT hardware such as laptops and mobile phones.[6] In January 2025, the company closed a €12.5 million Series A funding round, led by Klass Capital with participation from Peak and the Graduate Entrepreneur Fund. Reports noted that the investment would support expansion into the United States and further development of lifecycle automation.[6][7]
Services and business model
[edit]Workwize’s software-as-a-service platform works on a subscription-based model.[1] The platform works directly with suppliers, so customers use the software to order and track equipment while Workwize handles the buying, invoicing, repairs, and returns of IT and office equipment from third-party sellers in the background. In 2025, Workwize had 150 local partners in 100 countries.[8]
In October 2024, Workwize integrated AI into its platform.[9] This allowed Workwize to automate much of the work traditionally done by IT managers. With this update, companies could handle common jobs like replacing broken laptops, retiring old devices, or sending equipment for recycling without IT staff needing to manage each step.[8][9]
Workwize’s system has been adopted by businesses such as Adyen, FrieslandCampina and HelloFresh.[1]
