About CloudBees

CloudBees helps organizations build, run, and govern software factories, giving enterprises the confidence to ship software better, faster, and safer.

Writing code is no longer the bottleneck. Governing what reaches production and validating its impact is. As enterprises adopt agentic coding, software is created faster than most teams can review, secure, and validate. Without consistent governance, organizations risk shipping code they cannot explain, audit, or trust.

CloudBees addresses this challenge without asking teams to replace the tools they already use. Across every toolchain a customer runs, CloudBees makes each change, human or AI, visible, auditable, and accountable before it reaches production. CloudBees Unify is the product behind this: a governance layer, with context and control-plane capabilities, that enforces consistent policy and evidence across every tool, team, and workflow.

Founded in 2010, CloudBees is backed by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bridgepoint Capital, HSBC, Golub Capital, Delta‑v Capital, Matrix Partners, and Lightspeed Venture Partners.

Device Lifecycle & Hardware Operations

• Procurement & Provisioning: Prepare, configure, store, and deploy new and replacement Mac and Windows laptops to local and remote EMEA personnel using zero‑touch automated workflows.
• Logistics & Inventory: Inventory new and returned hardware; manage international shipping, customs documentation, and retrievals across EMEA via major carriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS) or global IT logistics platforms.
