Comparison
Most companies offboard employees with a spreadsheet, a checklist, and a handful of tickets. It works, until access stays open longer than it should, a laptop goes untracked, or an audit asks for a trail that was never kept. PurpletGo replaces the manual process with a single place to revoke access, recover assets, and log every step.
The manual way
Someone has to remember to close every account, one at a time, across every system the employee touched.
With PurpletGo
One click suspends accounts across every connected system at once, and the action is logged automatically.
The manual way
Laptops, badges, and credentials are tracked in a cell on a spreadsheet, if they are tracked at all.
With PurpletGo
Assets are tied to the offboarding record automatically, with returns confirmed and overdue items flagged.
The manual way
There is no consistent trail of who did what and when, so gaps only surface when an audit goes looking.
With PurpletGo
Every action is logged with actor, timestamp, and system - ready to export whenever it is needed.
The manual way
Depends on how many people remember to do their part, and how quickly they get to it.
With PurpletGo
A structured checklist with owners and due dates keeps every step moving without chasing people down.
The manual way
Real, and it grows with every additional tool, team, and person involved in the process.
With PurpletGo
Reduced by pre-populating known integrations and requiring revocation to be confirmed before the case can close.
Honestly, sometimes yes. If you offboard one or two people a year and everyone on the team knows exactly which accounts to close, a checklist can get the job done. That is exactly why PurpletGo has a Free plan - so a small team can get a real revocation checklist and an audit trail without paying for more than they need.
The manual approach tends to break down as headcount grows, as more tools get added to the stack, and as more people - HR, IT, Legal, a manager - each own a piece of the process. At that point, a spreadsheet stops being a source of truth and starts being a place where steps quietly get missed.
