Not sure how to decide on the best kit for your teams?
It can be hard enough to know which products each team needs. Let alone the specific models, resolutions, sizes etc.
Luckily, we’ve made the job incredibly easy for you. We’ve looked at the most commonly ordered products across popular Hofy Teams, and compiled a handy guide. So you can set up your Teams for success, in no time.
Product and engineering teams rely on efficient hardware, capable of performing multiple tasks that take up a lot of memory.
Monitors are vital for software engineers. It’s not uncommon for programmers and engineers to order two or three monitors.
The Apple MacBook Pro is the perfect choice for teams requiring high-performing devices.
The main difference is that product team members are more likely to go for a larger screen size, generally 16 inches. While most engineering team members choose 14 inches.
Going by Hofy’s order data, the optimum size monitor for both product and engineering teams is 27 inches. However, the difference lies with resolution.
Software engineers need to work at high resolution, so most go for full HD or 4K monitors. The majority of product team members, on the other hand, opt for the standard resolution 27 inch monitor by Dell.
The most popular choice is the sleek Apple Magic Mouse, which pairs seamlessly with MacBooks.
Rather than a high spec set-up with multiple monitors, sales team members need equipment that they can take on the road to networking events. And accessories that enhance communication for client calls.
The most popular laptop for sales teams is the Apple MacBook Air, which prioritizes portability over RAM. Models with the smallest screen size (13 inches) are also perfect for slotting into a backpack for business trips.
Sales teams represent their companies’ brands. A sales rep is usually the first person a prospect meets at the company, so first impressions are everything. If the prospect is greeted with a pixelated image, or the audio is muffled and unclear, you are off to a bad start.
For ultimate clarity and confident video calls, sales teams ordering on Hofy are most likely to go for 4K webcams, with the Logitech Brio as the most popular.
For most other teams, Apple Airpods are the most popular headset. But microphone quality is a must for sales teams. So they usually go for a Jabra Evolve (pictured) or the Plantronics Blackwire.
Both headset are wired, meaning that sales professionals can hear, and be heard, at the highest quality.
Marketers need devices that can support creative software tools. They may also need to prioritize travel-friendly laptops for conferences and events.
The most popular laptops for marketing teams are the MacBook Air (13 inch) and the MacBook Pro (14 inch), in almost equal measure.
The MacBook Pro is capable of running memory-heavy design and content programs. The MacBook Air is favored for its portability, making traveling to events as easy as possible.
Finance professionals need travel-friendly devices that can be taken to an office for presentations. For work from home days, most also have a monitor.
Finance team members overwhelmingly go for Dell’s business grade Latitude range.
With its lightweight, minimalist design and compact screen, the Dell Latitude is perfect for hybrid workers.
Most finance professionals ordering from Hofy choose the 22 or 24 inch Dell monitor, allowing them to work across multiple screens without taking up too much desk space.
Operations can refer to many different sides of the business, from business operations, to customer, people, finance or logistics. Whatever the department, these roles involve a lot of collaboration and communication. So operations professionals need devices with decent RAM for multitasking, and high-quality accessories for communication.
Most operations team members ordering through Hofy prefer a Windows operating system, and opt for the Dell XPS 13 with decent specifications. The memory capacity allows operations professionals to multitask efficiently, while the XPS has a sleeker, more modern design than the business grade Dell Latitude.
Similarly to sales, team members in operations prioritize a wired headset over Apple Airpods. Roles that involve heavy communication, such as customer operations, need a headset which can deliver the cleanest quality of audio - making headsets like the Plantronics Blackwire (pictured) and Microsoft's Modern Wireless Headset the perfect choice.
