The Right Hardware, Set Up Right, From Day One
Buying the wrong devices, waiting on deliveries, or spending hours configuring a new laptop for a staff member who started yesterday — hardware management is one of the most time-consuming parts of running a business. We handle procurement, setup, and ongoing tracking so you don't have to.
Lowthers Hardware Procurement
Every device your team uses is a responsibility to procure correctly, configure properly, and track accurately. We take that responsibility off your plate.
Our Hardware Procurement Offering
Hardware procurement and management without the headaches
Hardware decisions are easy to get wrong. Buying devices that aren't fit for purpose, overspending on specifications you don't need, or having no visibility of what your business actually owns — these are the realities of managing IT hardware without a proper process behind it.
We source, procure, configure, and track hardware for small and medium-sized businesses. That means advising on the right devices for your specific requirements, handling purchasing through our established supply chain, and ensuring every device is set up and ready to use before it reaches your team. No boxes arriving that need three hours of configuration. No devices sitting unaccounted for in a storeroom.
We also manage print infrastructure for businesses that need more than a standalone printer, including multi-device managed print services that keep your printing costs controlled and your hardware maintained.
Supporting Businesses with Efficient Hardware Management
Ready to Use, Not Ready to Configure
Every device we procure is set up and configured to your business requirements before it's handed over. Your team members can start working immediately — no setup delays.
Full Asset Viability
We track every device in your business — who has it, where it is, and when it's due for replacement — so you always have an accurate picture of your hardware estate.
Managed Print, Properly Handled
We manage print infrastructure for businesses with multiple devices, covering hardware, maintenance, and cost management so your printing doesn't become a silent overhead.
What Our Hardware Procurement Service Covers
Device Procurement & Setup
We source and configure devices to your specifications (including laptops, desktops, tablets, and peripherals) so every piece of hardware your team uses is correct for the job and ready to work from the moment it arrives.
Asset Tracking & Management
We maintain a full record of every device in your business — assigned user, location, configuration, and lifecycle status. No more lost devices, no more unaccounted hardware when a staff member leaves.
Hardware Lifecycle Management
We track device age and performance, advising on timely replacements before hardware failure causes operational disruption. Planned procurement is always more cost-effective than emergency replacement.
Managed Print Services
From multi-device print infrastructure to ongoing maintenance and consumables management, we take the operational overhead of business printing off your hands and keep your print costs predictable.
How We Work
Hardware procurement and management built around your business
We don't just supply hardware. We advise, procure, configure, and manage it, from the initial conversation about what your business needs through to setup, ongoing asset tracking, and eventual replacement. Every device we source is chosen for your specific requirements, not for margin, and every device we configure is tested and ready to use before it reaches your team.
For businesses with existing hardware estates, we can take on asset tracking and management without requiring a full procurement refresh. We'll catalogue what you have, identify what's coming to the end of its lifecycle, and plan replacements in a way that's controlled, budgeted, and timed to minimise disruption.
Managed print is often overlooked until it becomes a problem — devices that need constant maintenance, print costs that nobody is tracking, or multi-site printing infrastructure with no central oversight. We manage the full print environment for businesses that need more than an ad-hoc approach, covering hardware, maintenance, and consumables under a managed arrangement.
Hardware procurement is also part of our wider IT support offering. If you're already a managed IT client, hardware procurement and asset tracking integrates directly with your support arrangement. One partner, one point of contact, no separate supplier to manage.

Our services include systematic asset tracking, standardised device configuration, and managed print solutions to streamline physical IT infrastructure.

How We Manage Hardware for Your Business
From sourcing the right devices to tracking every asset in your business, here's how our hardware procurement and management service works in practice.
Hardware Sourcing & Purchasing
We source and procure the right hardware for your business requirements — laptops, desktops, peripherals, and servers — through our established supply chain at competitive pricing.
Device Configuration & Setup
Every device is configured to your specifications before delivery — accounts, security settings, software access, and business systems — so your team can start work immediately.
Asset Register & Tracking
We maintain a complete asset register for your business hardware, tracking assigned users, locations, configurations, and lifecycle status so nothing goes unaccounted for.
Device Lifecycle Planning
We monitor device age and flag replacements proactively, helping you plan hardware refreshes in advance rather than reacting to failures that disrupt your operations.
Managed Print Infrastructure
For businesses with multiple printers or multi-site print requirements, we manage the hardware, maintenance, and consumables under a managed arrangement that keeps costs predictable.

Our managed print service covers multi-device print infrastructure for businesses that need more than standalone printers. We manage the hardware, arrange maintenance, and oversee consumables, giving you a predictable print operation without the day-to-day management overhead.

Both. Hardware procurement, setup, and asset tracking are available as standalone services, and they also integrate directly into our managed IT support arrangements.
