IT remarketing – also known as IT asset disposition (ITAD) internationally – is the secure return and resale of end-of-life corporate IT. Second IT takes care of everything from a single source: collection using its own security logistics, certified data destruction, purchase at market-driven prices, preparation and re-marketing, and the professional disposal of unusable devices. This applies to laptops, desktop PCs, monitors, smartphones, tablets, printers, servers and network equipment – from smartphones to the data center. Since its founding in 2011 in Schwäbisch Hall, Second IT has processed around 1.8 million devices. In our consulting services, we advise on the most economical and secure way to manage your inventory.
A project runs in eight clearly defined steps: offer and purchase, pick-up, inspection in the warehouse, data deletion, audit and reports, repair and refurbishment, re-marketing, and proper disposal. At the beginning, you send us a list of devices; the offer will be sent to you within an average of 48 hours. After that, our team picks up the devices and processes the purchase. own logistics We will deactivate the devices; each device will be recorded using its serial number and deleted after certification. You can track the status in the customer portal; you will receive proof for each individual device. You will have a direct contact person who will oversee the project from the initial inventory analysis to its completion.
The purchase price is based on the current market value of your devices and is determined using data analysis. The evaluation factors include device type, manufacturer, configuration, condition, quantity, and current demand. Therefore, there are no standard prices; instead, we offer an individual, non-binding quote within an average of 48 hours. The quickest way to get a quote is with a list of devices or via the Price comparison on the homepage. Where minor repairs or updates increase the resale value, we show you how in the value enhancement consultation. At the same time, purchasing usable devices reduces your disposal costs.
Yes, in addition to purchasing at market-fair prices, Second IT also offers cash-back options and employee sales. With employee sales, your employees can take on used company equipment. Before that, all data is securely deleted, so no company information remains on the devices. Which option is right for you depends on your goals, such as maximizing revenue or minimizing internal effort. We handle the entire process from transport to marketing, so your team can focus on its core business. During the consultation, we present the options for your inventory and develop a suitable plan.
Second IT’s sustainability advisory focuses on reuse rather than recycling: functional devices are prepared and given a second life, rather than ending up as electrical waste. We analyze your IT resources, identify ways to reuse them, and help you reduce the carbon footprint of your corporate IT. We are happy to provide you with an individual annual environmental report that confirms the savings. Our own environmental management is certified according to ISO 14001, and the data destruction process uses green electricity, including from approximately 100 kWp of our own solar power.
