Laptop "remote wipe" -- stolen ?

What software do you recommend for
Laptop "remote wipes" or "total lockdowns"
so data cannot be taken from the harddrive
when something like the below happens
in the FUTURE ?

I assume the below steps would NOT work
if the thief never connects to the Internet, correct ?
----------------------------------------------
Details
  ** 10+ traveling sales reps
  ** Windows 10 Pro laptops
----------------------------------------------
Steps
1. someone STEALS laptop
2. I login to a website like
    https://lojack.absolute.com/en
    to issue a "remote wipe"
3. thief turns on machine
4. connects to Internet
5. my above #2 command starts the "remote wipe"
