Reverse Logistics

     We offer a wide range of available reverse logistic services. We are able to send teams throughout the United States to de-install equipment from site locations. The de-installation of this equipment may include any technology inventory, including telephony, computer, Internet, test equipment and assembly lines. Partially processed inventories, as well as office furniture and libraries may be moved as well, if needed. These categories of equipment can be moved by common carrier, or air ride truck, depending on client need. In high security applications, the products may be palletized and black shrink-wrapped to prevent outside inspection.  Individual pallets can be bar coded and bar code scanned for future inventory control by the client. An individual bar code can be created for every single item collected, if the client so desires. In addition, we will transport sensitive equipment in trucks under our own control, should there be customer requests.

     The material may be transported to a location of the customer's choice, or more likely to our facility, centrally located in Ohio at the junction of Interstate 90 and I-75. From this location, we can have guaranteed delivery back to the client in 1 to 2 days, throughout the continental United States. Customer supervision of the off loading of their equipment, and storage in their private containerized space is suggested, when the product is highly perishable or requires high security.

     Such items might be sensitive test equipment, unfinished research and development projects, close tolerance electronic parts, or items that might be easily lost or stolen without close supervision. The individualized spaces are climate controlled, alarmed, are locked by the customer, and left so until needed.

     Other less volatile inventories can easily be transported through ground courier services, and be received by our company, for standard storage, until needed.  With individualized spaces from as small as 200 square feet, to as large as 8,000 square feet, there is no other high tech oriented company with our available services.

     Some inventories, may be moved to our facility, with the intention that they be liquidated. We have performed this procedure for many large vendors in the computer and telephony fields over the past 15 years.  We are able to move the inventory, assess its value, and report its condition to its owner. At this point, we can expose the inventory to the market place for sale, in whole or in part, or dispose of the inventory as directed, through export or destruction.

     In addition, several of our larger clients have asked us to remanufacture products, to be main streamed back into their systems. We currently remanufacture cell batteries and handsets, as well as pay station parts and other telephone equipment. We are able to customize a program to satisfy the needs of each client.  As an example, some clients prefer that we simply sort the inventory as viable for remanufacture, or not economical to repair (NETR). These clients then ask us to forward their viable product to their contract remanufacturer, and then either sell or dispose of the balance under their direction. This allows our clients to receive the highest reuse factor from materials returned from the field.

     As an additional service, we have contracted with a facility in our area that is EPA certified to fully encapsulate any byproduct solids that are not volatile, to ensure that there can be no contingent liabilities to our customers through this disposal. The facility has a perfect track record and a large financial bonding element in place to assure our customers that the products they dispose of will not contaminate the environment, nor create long term contingent liabilities.  This service is cost effective and the facility is less than 10 miles from our warehouse complex.

     In short, we offer customized services to solve the problems associated with reverse logistics of equipment, inventories, and retired materials. Our focus is to return the highest possible value to the vendor, at the lowest possible risk. Please contact us about creating a program for your business unit.
