The next generation of ITAD consists of new value-added services that have become necessary to adjust to the changing industry landscape. As clients’ needs evolve, value-added IT asset disposition (vITAD) augments traditional services like logistics, data sanitization, certification, and onsite services. It also provides solutions to navigate new hurdles in the industry presented by recent changes. Remote working has continued to be the preferred method of work for many businesses, making remote management services a necessity for ITAD providers.
Remote Management
Out of all the vITAD services, remote management became the most necessary several years ago when the pandemic peaked, and many companies worked remotely. Although the world has returned to normal, companies with remote workforces still need disposition services, and remote management helps accommodate remote clients. HOBI developed the Remote Box Program to help navigate the hurdles for companies with a remote workforce and still offer remote ITAD services like:
- Equipment retirement and rollout support
- Boxes, labels, and courier service available
- Manage each return with concise and careful instructions for return
- Quick and accurate reporting on all returned assets
- Guaranteed data erasure reporting
- Redeployment support available
Reverse Logistics
Whether in-office or working remotely, eventually, IT assets will need to be replaced. Working in a remote environment can make logistics challenging when disposing of IT assets, but ITAD providers like HOBI offer customized reverse logistics services no matter where clients are located. Reverse logistics isn’t just about transporting IT assets. It’s about getting your retired equipment from one place to another with zero damage and no data leaks. When you transport IT assets, you’re also transporting data, and data security should be a top priority for any corporation. Finding an ITAD provider with transparent reverse logistics services helps provide a measure of data security before data is wiped from the devices and peace of mind that your data is in the right hands. Another thing to consider is the safety of your IT equipment. Transporting IT assets without damaging hardware requires proper packaging to ensure a safe trip and temperature storage to prevent overheating.
HOBI offers customized reverse logistic solutions and prioritizes client satisfaction at every process step. HOBI also offers secure point-to-point and secure chain-of-custody transportation options. By working closely with each client, we can determine their logistics needs while successfully managing costs.
