A local solution to an international challenge.

This project was created to address the challenges faced by an international company operating in Portugal.

The Portuguese branch has around 450 workstations, most of them equipped with MacBooks.

Until recently, all purchases were centralised in Germany and the devices were then shipped to Portugal.

Despite a clear preference for MacBooks, the Portuguese subsidiary was dealing with several obstacles that complicated daily IT operations:

• Long delivery times due to international logistics
• Limited stock of MacBooks with a Portuguese keyboard, delaying onboarding
• Manual device configuration, requiring extra time and resources

Bechtle Portugal stepped in, backed by a European partner network, to deliver solutions tailored to the local reality.

Throughout 2025, we delivered 164 MacBooks to the Portuguese subsidiary, ensuring fast turnaround times and an optimised configuration process.

• 14‑inch and 16‑inch MacBook Pro with M4
• 13‑inch and 15‑inch MacBook Air with M4
• AppleCare Protection Plan

Faster deliveries thanks to our status as an Apple Business Partner.

Greater availability of MacBooks with a Portuguese keyboard, avoiding delays for employees.

Automatic configuration (DEP) integrated with Apple Business Manager.

Optimised onboarding: MacBooks ready to use straight out of the box.

Local presence for fast, effective support.

Commitment to sustainability, including device refurbishing and certified disk cleaning.

This project has shown that with the right technology and specialist support, it is possible to transform the everyday experience of IT teams. By introducing more agile processes, local deliveries and an optimised onboarding journey, the company now has a modern, efficient foundation that is ready to grow.

The next step is to continue evolving—enhancing the user experience, exploring new capabilities within the Apple ecosystem and ensuring every team has the ideal tools to work better every day.

Bechtle will be by the organisation’s side throughout this journey, helping to unlock the full potential of its Apple ecosystem.
