Procuring 30,000 laptops is quite different than procuring 200 laptops. The logistics for 20% growth are materially different for a 100,000 person company vs a 1,000 person company.

Yes, you get a cheaper per-unit basis in bulk, and it becomes worth investing in larger scale automation to set up those laptops, so that the per-laptop cost of getting them ready for the employees is cheaper too. Economies of scale work in favor of larger numbers. A company that "only" procures 200 laptops per year won't even have a dedicated person for that job; if you're procuring 30k laptops per year you're going to have several full-time people whose only responsibility is working on and improving that process.
