Apple Business Manager enrollment. Ready out of the box.
GatorTec enrolls the Macs and iPads you buy from us in your Apple Business Manager (ABM, formerly the Device Enrollment Program or DEP) as they ship, so each one sets itself up through your MDM the first time it's turned on. We work with businesses across Florida and the US.
How it works
- Add GatorTec once. In your Apple Business Manager, add GatorTec as a reseller (Device Supplier) using our Reseller ID 5559440, and send us your Organization ID. Apple's guide shows where.
- Order through GatorTec. Every Mac and iPad on the order is added to your Apple Business Manager as it ships.
- Unbox and go. Devices are already assigned to your MDM, so they configure themselves with your apps and settings at first sign-in, wherever your people are. No serial numbers to collect.
No Apple Customer Number needed
Devices bought from Apple directly, online or at an Apple Store, only enroll automatically once the business has an Apple Customer Number linked in Apple Business Manager: a lengthy application that many businesses decide isn't worth it. Without one, a device can only be added by hand with Apple Configurator, and then the employee using it can remove its management profile. With GatorTec there's nothing to apply for: add our Reseller ID once, and every Mac and iPad you buy from us is enrolled automatically, with a management profile your MDM can lock in place.
Already have the devices?
Already have Macs or iPads you bought from GatorTec that aren't in Apple Business yet? Send your account manager the serial numbers and we'll add them. Devices bought from retailers like Amazon or Best Buy can't be enrolled: here's why, and what to do instead.
What Apple Business Manager does
Apple Business Manager is Apple's free, web-based portal for deploying Apple devices, apps and content. Linked to your mobile device management (MDM) service, it lets your IT team set up devices without ever handling them, buy apps in volume and assign them without personal Apple Accounts, and keep control of company devices: remote configuration, software updates, security policies, and locking or erasing a lost device.

Questions
Does GatorTec do Apple DEP enrollment?
Yes. Apple's Device Enrollment Program (DEP) is now part of Apple Business Manager. As an Apple Premier Partner, GatorTec enrolls the Macs and iPads you buy from us as they ship, and can add devices you bought from us earlier.
What do I need to get started?
An Apple Business Manager account with GatorTec added as a reseller (Reseller ID 5559440), and your Organization ID, which you'll find in Apple Business Manager. You don't need an Apple Customer Number.
How long does enrollment take?
New orders are enrolled as they ship. Devices you bought from us earlier are added once you send your account manager the serial numbers.
Can you enroll devices bought from Amazon or Best Buy?
No. Only the Apple reseller that sold a device can add it to Apple Business Manager, so devices bought from retailers like Amazon or Best Buy can't be enrolled. They can only be added by hand with Apple Configurator, and then the employee using the device can remove its management profile. Devices you bought from GatorTec can always be added.
Do you work with businesses outside Florida?
Yes. GatorTec is based in Florida and works with businesses across the state and the US, with corporate pricing on Mac, iPad and AppleCare+ and devices shipped direct to your offices or employees. Request a quote.
