Device Imaging
When hundreds or thousands of devices need to be deployed, manual setup quickly becomes a drain on internal IT resources.
Hire Intelligence can work with you to create an approved device image, which is a standardised build containing the required operating system, software, settings and security configuration. We then apply that build across the rental fleet before delivery, so every device arrives prepared to the same specification.
From large-scale UK rollouts to Europe-wide deployments, we help organisations put consistent, ready-to-use devices into users’ hands without the burden of configuring each unit individually.
How we can help
Hire Intelligence handles the imaging and provisioning before your rental fleet is dispatched. We create an approved master image, apply it across the order and check each device against the agreed specification.
This gives your team:
- A consistent software and settings build across the fleet
- Less manual setup for internal IT teams
- Devices prepared for users, sites or project phases
- Clear asset records to support accurate deployment
- Re-imaging and data-wiping options where required
Your fleet arrives ready for rollout, with less work left for your team.

Case Studies
Who this supports
Who this supports
Device imaging is suited to organisations that need a large number of devices prepared to the same standard before they reach users.
For an IT project company, that could mean supplying hundreds of laptops for a software rollout across several client sites. A consultancy may need pre-configured devices for a temporary project team, with the correct applications, security settings and user access already in place. Universities and training providers can use imaged devices for exams, short courses or assessment programmes, while enterprise teams can equip contractors, seasonal staff or remote employees without asking internal IT to configure each device individually.
The service is particularly valuable when consistency, speed and accurate deployment matter across a large or distributed fleet.
