There are many things to consider when choosing an all-inclusive ITAD provider, and reverse logistics can seem unimportant compared to other considerations, but comprehensive reverse logistics solutions can provide many benefits to an enterprise. Reverse Logistics isn’t just about transporting IT assets, it’s about getting your retired hardware from point A to point B with zero damage, and no data leaks.
When considering the transportation of IT assets, new or old, you’re not just transporting equipment, you’re transporting data as well. What many people do not realize is that data remains on IT assets long after they are retired, unless it is properly wiped from the devices. Transporting retired IT assets also means making sure your company data is in the right hands.
Another thing to consider is the safety of your IT equipment. Transporting IT assets without damaging any of the hardware means just the right packaging methods to ensure a safe trip. When packing electronics there are many things to consider such as padding and protection, as well as temperature. Most electronics today are made with Lithium Ion batteries that are known to cause fires when damaged. If IT assets are not stored at appropriate temperatures while in transport, it could damage the equipment. Excessive heat can cause battery swelling and eventually cause a fire that could affect other devices as well. Comprehensive reverse logistics ensures that the equipment, as well as the data, is handled with care.
