GSX Account with Smallish Inventory Base

[ralamiri]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted everyone's opinion on GSX and if it's something worth having for a smaller inventory base (< 250 devices). It seems pretty useful for things like automatically pulling purchase and warranty information, especially as we look to refresh systems, but I don't know if it's worth pursuing if the other benefits of the SSA don't really apply.

Thoughts?

I think Apple has a 1,000 device minimum for a SSA. Even if they didn't, I highly doubt it would be for that few devices.

@ralamiri If you can get it, its worth it.  We are a self servicing account and do all the repairs on our fleet of Macs and iPads which charges a lot less for the "Apple Care Parts Agreement" instead of the retail AppleCare+.  Benefits include access to bulk item parts IE 25pks of 30w usb-c power adapters for MacBook Airs at a bigger discount (non retail packaging).  Also like you said having the ability to tie into the JSS with purchasing information for each record.  Its definitely worth asking your Apple SE.
