All equipment is collected and brought into our warehouse where it is processed and audited to determine whether it is suitable for re-sale. Next All data is wiped from the equipment to the highest standards ensuring it can be safely re-sold without any risk of remaining customer residual data, protecting against fraud and loss of sensitive company data. Repairs (if required) are carried out on the equipment. A new and legal operating system license is installed. Finally, the equipment is cleaned, packed, graded and shelved in our warehouse until sold.
