We’re bringing the best IT services and device lifecycle management in-house

Over the past few years, running a global HR function has become increasingly complex: HR leaders are expected to keep up with ever-changing local hiring and payroll laws, create global performance management programs, and coordinate the challenging onboarding and hardware logistics with their global IT partners.

The HR and IT Problem

We’re here to help HR and IT leaders consolidate their tools and worry about one less thing. That’s why we’ve acquired Hofy, to provide our global customers best-in-class IT services and device lifecycle management, alongside our suite of EOR, global payroll, contractor management, immigration and people management tools. It’s another step in our goal to become the most comprehensive payroll & HR platform worldwide.

We understand the pain points between global HR and IT: Deel has more than 4,000 team members dispersed across 20+ time zones, so we sought out the best partner to meet our unique needs. Deel ran its fully remote, global team with support from Hofy for the past 2.5 years. We’ve shipped an estimated 5,000 devices to 98 countries. In our experience as both a customer and partner of Hofy, we were so impressed with their global scale, expertise, and customer service that we decided to join forces officially.

Announcing Deel IT

Deel has fully integrated with Hofy and launched Deel IT, our end-to-end global IT services platform. Along with device supply and management, Deel IT offers a suite of IT services like software provisioning, app access management and integrations with mobile device management (MDM) and identity tools. Customers are able to see a full view of their IT set-up and handle complex shipping, procurement, and device management globally from one platform, with a few clicks. It is fully integrated inside Deel as well as interoperable across any HRIS, including Workday and HiBob. Deel is the first HR and payroll company to offer a solution this robust, fully in-house.

We started Deel with a core expertise in global hiring and payroll, but we’ve been listening to customers along the way and adding new products and services to help ease pain points associated with building, scaling and managing global teams. We’re thrilled to add this new service to our ever-expanding HR and payroll platform, and we can’t wait for you to try it out.
