The Hidden Budget in Your Surplus IT: Unlock 20 - 30% More from IT Assets
Your Surplus Technology Isn’t Trash - It’s a Hidden Asset
When organizations think about surplus IT equipment—old laptops, desktops, servers, monitors, they often treat it as ewaste. But in reality, this overlooked inventory holds hidden budget potential. IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) done right isn’t just about secure recycling; it’s a strategy for recovering value, boosting sustainability, and reducing operational costs.
So, how do leading organizations consistently earn 20–30% more from ITAD programs?
At Synetic, our clients routinely outperform industry averages thanks to a deliberate, transparent, and value-maximizing model that truly Makes Every Asset Count.
Let’s break down the hidden levers that drive better ITAD outcomes.
1. Repair In-House to Maximize Resale Value
Not all used devices are created equal, but many can be brought back to life.
Synetic's in-house certified repair team is trained to diagnose and refurbish devices efficiently. From replacing batteries to upgrading hard drives and restoring operating systems, these repairs often transform a “recycled” item into a “remarketed” one.
Why It Matters:
-
Refurbished devices can sell for 2x–3x more than untested or damaged ones.
-
In-house repair avoids the markup of third-party vendors, increasing your return.
-
Devices in good condition are easier to sell through compliant resale channels.
This isn’t just recycling—it’s value recovery through strategic refurbishment.
2. Consolidate Vendors for Efficiency and Control
Fragmented ITAD processes—one vendor for logistics, another for repair, another for resale—create communication gaps, compliance risks, and budget bleed.
Synetic acts as a single trusted partner, handling:
-
Secure pickup and logistics
-
Onsite or offsite data destruction
-
Repair and refurbishment
-
Value-maximized resale and recycling
The Benefit:
-
Reduced administrative burden
-
Streamlined management
-
Faster turnaround and reporting
-
Lower total cost of disposition
By consolidating vendors, you reduce overhead and simplify your IT asset lifecycle from end-of-life to revenue recovery.
3. Transparent Revenue-Share Agreements That Favor You
Not all ITAD providers are aligned with your goals. Some offer flat fees or opaque recovery terms that benefit them, not you.
At Synetic, we operate on clear, true revenue share agreements. That means:
-
You see a full breakdown of what assets sold for and what percentage you earned.
-
We’re incentivized to maximize resale prices, not cut corners.
-
You earn more, because we earn more only when you do.
This mutual alignment turns your surplus IT into a transparent, revenue-generating program.
4. Measure and Report Everything
You can’t improve what you can’t measure.
Our real-time reporting dashboard gives you complete visibility into:
-
Devices collected and processed
-
Repair outcomes
-
Resale values
-
Data destruction certificates
-
Environmental impact metrics
Why It’s Powerful:
-
CIOs and procurement leaders can quantify returns and performance.
-
Finance teams can book actual revenue earned.
-
IT leaders gain audit-ready compliance documentation.
This level of transparency turns ITAD into a measurable, reportable budget line, not a black hole.
