From Spreadsheets to Seamless Logistics: How ProFinda Transformed Global Onboarding With Rayda

From Spreadsheets to Seamless Logistics: How ProFinda Transformed Global Onboarding With Rayda

Meet ProFinda

ProFinda is an AI-powered resource management platform used by some of the world’s largest professional services organizations. Their technology matches the right people, and increasingly, AI agents, to the right work, enabling better project outcomes, stronger utilization, and more efficient workforce planning. With a global team operating across the UK, Europe, and the US, ProFinda needed an employee device management process that could keep up with their rapid growth and distributed operations.

The Challenge

As ProFinda expanded into multiple countries, their internal teams were spending an increasing amount of time on manual device management tasks. Managing onboarding and offboarding across regions meant dealing with:

  • Complex shipping logistics

  • International customs requirements

  • Coordinating delivery dates with traveling employees

  • Managing multiple suppliers

  • Tracking every device using spreadsheets and Notion pages

  • High shipping costs ($200–$300 per delivery from the US to the UK)

    What started as a manageable workflow became difficult to scale. Employees needed devices on specific dates. Shipments faced delays. Internal teams had to coordinate procurement, communication, shipping, and returns, often across time zones.

    As ProFinda grew, this manual process became time-consuming, expensive, and operationally risky.

What Made Device Provisioning Hard to Scale

Three factors created the most friction:

1. Logistical complexity across three major regions

Shipping into the UK, Europe, and the US meant different customs processes, documentation, and timelines. Even a small delay could affect onboarding.

2. Delivery scheduling around employee availability

Many new hires were traveling or had strict delivery windows, leading to failed deliveries or delays.

3. High operational cost and internal workload

Multiple team members were involved in sourcing devices, arranging shipping, and managing returns, creating unnecessary overhead.

What Changed After Moving to Rayda

Rayda became ProFinda’s end-to-end device management partner, handling procurement, delivery, retrieval, and storage across all three major regions.
