IT headcount: Managed global hardware for a borderless team without a dedicated IT department
The Challenge
Building the IT infrastructure behind a borderless team
Learnerbly is the AI workplace learning and development platform, which powers upskilling via its network of 200+ top learning content creators. Following a successful Series A and a shift to a fully remote model, the company expanded rapidly beyond its UK roots. However, this borderless growth created a significant operational bottleneck: Learnerbly didn't have a dedicated IT department.
Hardware provisioning fell to the HR team, and managing global logistics became a massive drain on resources. Tracking laptops was handled via a manual Google Sheet, and sourcing equipment meant manually navigating Amazon or local providers for every new hire.
"Onboarding a new starter used to take three hours to get set up from a laptop perspective. Now, it takes half an hour or less." – Noah Warwick, Chief of Staff, Learnerbly
The Solution
Consolidating global logistics and compliance
To streamline operations, Learnerbly consolidated its workforce management onto Deel. While Noah was initially skeptical of an all-in-one platform, the transition was supported by Deel’s domain experts. Today, Deel IT powers the entire lifecycle of Learnerbly’s global equipment, while Deel's EOR handles international hiring.
Deel IT removed the friction of moving devices between employees and automated the tracking of assets. For the finance team, the platform simplified annual reconciliation by providing instant records of asset depreciation, age, and pricing. This integration ensures that even as a remote-first company, Learnerbly maintains the professional infrastructure of a global enterprise.
"If I had to think of a tagline, I would say I can think of three things Deel IT does that would take five times longer without it: certification, distributing laptops via courier, and the annual reconciliation of laptops for asset purchases." — Noah Warwick, Chief of Staff, Learnerbly
The Results
Seamless global scaling and zero-headcount IT
With Deel, Learnerbly has successfully scaled its remote workforce without the administrative burden of an in-house IT department. Hardware onboarding that once took hours now takes minutes, and the company’s SOC 2 certification process has been significantly accelerated through Deel’s compliant hardware reporting.
By automating these complex administrative tasks, Noah and his team have reclaimed their "mental availability" to focus on strategic growth.
"The transition was exceptionally smooth, aided by the 'handholding' and dedicated support from specific domain experts at Deel."
