Equipment issues hinder results and are always addressed quickly. To request new equipment or address hardware issues [create an equipment request](https://github.com/fleetdm/confidential/issues/new?assignees=&labels=%23g-business-operations&projects=&template=equipment-request.md&title=%F0%9F%92%BB+Equipment+request).
Once a request is received, the Head of Business Operations will assess its necessity and check the Fleet Warehouse for available devices. The request is then sent to the CEO for final approval and [shipping](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/ceo#request-equipment-from-fleet-it).
From time to time, team members need to purchase additional equipment in the interest of the company.

### Purchase company-issued equipment
Fleet provides laptops and YubiKey security keys for core team members to use while working at Fleet. As soon as an offer is accepted, Business Operations will reach out to the new team member to start this process and will work with the new team member to get their equipment requested and shipped to them on time.
