Check the warehouse before you buy another laptop
Blog post from Fleet
Fleet’s IT team addresses the visibility gap created when spare devices are powered off in storage by syncing warehouse status data from Retriever into Fleet. Retriever manages the physical lifecycle of returned devices, including storage, redeployment, repair, and disposal, while Fleet records device information gathered when hosts are online. A daily script reads Retriever’s API, matches devices to Fleet hosts by serial number, and updates a custom “Warehouse status” host vital only when a status changes. Fleet then uses labels such as “Ready for deployment” to provide a searchable inventory of available equipment, helping employees and IT staff check for reusable devices before purchasing new hardware. The integration uses limited, API-only permissions, is managed through Fleet’s GitOps configuration, and is supported by internal documentation explaining how employees can interpret statuses and locate available devices.
