Remote work has changed the business landscape, and the ITAD industry has evolved to adjust to clients’ changing needs. Working with remote clients requires sophisticated knowledge of maneuvering the remote landscape and additional services to help meet these new standards. Value-added IT asset disposition augments traditional services like logistics, data sanitization, certification, and onsite services by adding new value-added ITAD services. HOBI refers to this industry evolution as the value-added ITAD era, offering vITAD services such as remote management, support for remote workers, ESG reporting, legal hold monitoring, and donation programs to help ease the transition.
Support for Remote Workers with 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
Customized Reverse Logistics Solutions
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 involves transporting 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.
Remote work has created many obstacles for ITAD providers, but vITAD services offer strategies to help maneuver the changes and enable ITAD enterprises to continue providing IT asset management and disposition services to clients, whether in-office or remote. HOBI is an R2v3, RIOS, WBE, and ISO 14001 certified IT asset management and disposition enterprise with more than 30 years of industry experience. HOBI also 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 determine their logistics needs while successfully managing costs.
