The Business Case for Remanufacturing

Traditional IT refresh cycles present core challenges. We offer a compelling, strategic alternative.

Let’s think critically and break the early refresh habits!

High Capital Expenditure

Frequent laptop refreshes demand significant upfront investments that strain IT budgets.

Growing E-Waste & Carbon Footprint

Decommissioning of functional hardware conflicts with sustainability goals and contributes to environmental degradation. Reducing resource consumption is one of the biggest challenges we need to take up; buy less new products?

Supply Chain Vulnerability

Relying on new device procurement exposes your organization to global supply chain disruptions.

Data Security & Compliance Risks

Ensuring secure data erasure from obsolete devices is a high-risk undertaking.

Inconsistent Performance

An aging laptop fleet leads to varied user experiences and decreased employee productivity.

The Strategic Alternative

Our Remanufacturing as a Service addresses these challenges head-on, delivering financial, environmental, and operational benefits.

Upcycle
A practical alternative over new hardware for enterprises

Upcycle is Total IT Global’s comprehensive Remanufacturing as a Service (RaaS) offering, meticulously designed to give your enterprise laptop fleet a new lease on life. We go beyond simple repair, employing an industrial-grade process to restore your existing devices to a “like-new” condition, functionally and cosmetically.

From Your Fleet to Renewed Assets: End-to-End Process

Our Remanufacturing as a Service encompasses a comprehensive, multi-stage process that partners directly with your enterprise, from initial fleet assessment to the secure return of your remanufactured devices.

Onsite Assessment & Inspection

We begin with a thorough, on-premises assessment of your existing laptop fleet, typically conducted in designated staging areas at your premises. This includes functional and cosmetic inspection, along with capturing essential device configuration information.

Our team coordinates the secure collection of your laptop fleet directly from your office. This step includes inventorying and integrated, trackable logistics to ensure safe transportation to our remanufacturing facility.

At our facility, devices undergo a complete restoration to achieve a “like-new” appearance and performance.

Through rigorous disassembly, inspection, component replacement (where necessary), advanced testing, and reassembly, we ensure remanufactured devices meet original performance specifications. Upcycle transforms your depreciating assets into optimally functioning, sustainable resources, making a positive impact on both your bottom line and the planet.

More details on the remanufacturing process below

Each remanufactured device undergoes rigorous, multi-point functional testing, stress testing, and performance validation to ensure it meets the reliability required for demanding enterprise use. We can also install your organization’s custom operating system image and necessary software configurations, tailored to your specific user profiles and security policies.

Finally, devices are professionally repackaged with necessary accessories and securely delivered back to your premises. They are ready for immediate integration into your IT environment, ensuring a seamless and efficient redeployment.

Once the devices are received at the facility, we ensure every device meets our stringent quality and performance benchmarks, so it can be redeployed within your enterprise

Attention to detail

Standardised company-wide approaches should give way to a needs-based strategy, resulting in a more flexible procurement and usage model. With the advancements in technology, many existing devices already meet performance requirements without consuming more energy, signaling a shift away from the expectations set by Moore’s Law.

Incorporating Remanufacturing of used devices into your IT Asset Management Strategy is not just an option, but a crucial step toward optimising sustainability. This approach allows you to leverage the full potential of existing technology while contributing to a more environmentally responsible IT infrastructure.
