Problem Solving with vITAD Services 

The last several years have seen many changes, especially in the business world, and the ITAD industry has adapted to these changes by expanding the traditional service offerings to include services such as ESG reporting, customized 3PL solutions, portal customization for asset tracking, ERP integration, donations programs, and asset redeployment. These additional service offerings are part of a change in industry standard services for IT asset disposition. HOBI calls this new era vITAD – value-added IT asset disposition. 

One of the biggest hurdles faced in the last four years was Covid-19. Facing a global pandemic triggered a significant change in the business world. As a result, remote working became the primary method of work, which created many challenges for ITAD enterprises like HOBI and led to the necessity of a new vITAD service offering: support for remote workers. 

Because many companies were fully remote, ITAD providers had to adjust business strategies to accommodate a remote workforce. As a vITAD service offering, support for remote workers is quickly becoming a new industry norm. Even after the chaos of the pandemic leveled out, remote working continues to be the preferred method of work, and the ITAD landscape is expanding to ensure clients remote needs can be met. 

As an R2v3, RIOS, WBE, and ISO-14001 certified IT asset management and disposition enterprise with more than 30 years of experience in the industry, HOBI International, Inc. focuses on bringing solutions to these challenges with vITAD services that not only benefit clients but also the environment.  

HOBI launched a remote box program prior to the pandemic and further enhanced it during the pandemic. The program continues to be a thriving vITAD service offering that maintains client satisfaction while maximizing return on the value of assets.
