Blackbelt360 and the Device Refurbishment Lifecycle

Asset Collection 

Devices are collected by OEMs, telecom companies, and retailers through consumer trade-ins and returns, as well as from enterprises like Dell, HP, and IBM following regular upgrades.

Blackbelt360 provides essential software for data erasure, diagnostics, trade-in and retail management, ensuring devices are securely processed and accurately valued from the outset.

Asset Processing (Warehouse)

After asset collection, devices are securely stored, processed, and managed in preparation for refurbishment, reconditioning, or resale. Here they undergo thorough diagnostics, secure data erasure, and grading to determine which can be resold directly and which require refurbishment.

Blackbelt360 offers advanced data erasure, diagnostics, and Warehouse Management System software to streamline device storage and processing.

Refurbishment/Reconditioning

Refurbishers test, repair, and upgrade devices to restore functionality and increase value by replacing faulty components, upgrading hardware or software, and ensuring quality standards are met. Refurbished devices are then re-tested, labelled, re-graded, and competitively priced for resale, offering value to buyers while maximising profitability for the refurbisher.

Blackbelt360 provides refurbishers with software for data erasure and diagnostics, together with pricing and grading tools, helping them accurately assess and quickly prepare devices for resale.

Resell Channels

Some devices are sold via refurbisher platforms and in stores, while others are listed on marketplaces like Amazon Renewed, BackMarket, B-Stock, eBay, Refurbed and TikTok, or sold through specialised BER channels.

Blackbelt360 software is endorsed by the world's top marketplaces, providing their partners and consumers with peace of mind that their used device purchase meets global quality standards.
