Secure, Compliant and Responsible ITAD Services

Managing end-of-life services requires secure facilities, compliant procedures and responsible engineers—and Shyft has it all. Our team will help you determine the best outcome for your customers’ aging technologies and work with you to extend or sunset these IT equipment investments to maximize the product life value.

Refurbishment Services

Our certified technicians provide comprehensive repair and refurbishment services for the full spectrum of IT products down to the component level, including:

  • Servers
  • Storage
  • Networks
  • Hard drives
  • Circuit boards
  • Desktop and laptop computers

E-Cycling
Our core environmental protection policy calls for zero landfill, zero incineration and zero export of non-functioning assets or e-waste. We use a vertically-integrated and closed-loop Environmental Management System to ensure that assets are disposed of properly, which features:
  • De-manufacturing
  • Parts harvesting 
Data Erasure and Security
Shyft will work to deliver a solution customized to your needs that satisfies compliance regulations specific to your organization, country and/or industry. We’ll certify that data has been completely removed from retired equipment or that the equipment has been completely destroyed through:
  • On-site data erasure
  • Off-site data erasure
  • Physical destruction
On-Site Services
We provide on-site professional services at offices and data center locations nationwide. Our on-site services include:
  • Packaging and shipping
  • Inventory
  • Data erasure
  • De-installation
Inventory Management and Reporting
Shyft provides a comprehensive disposal program that starts with picking up retired equipment at the source and ends with a certificate of data destruction, as well as:
  • Secure online portal
  • Asset reporting
  • Inventory tracking
Account Management

We provide you with an experienced and dedicated account management team and secure customer portal login. Our customer-centric operations deliver complete visibility into all equipment and sales results, as well as a single point of contact for scheduling, tracking and reporting on nationwide activities. We work collaboratively to develop services for designing and implementing strategic ITAD solutions that are tailored to your needs. Your account management team will:

  • Provide trade-in or buyback quotes
  • Manage the revenue share program
  • Deliver reporting associated with the revenue share program
  • Monitor end-to-end solution payments
  • Work with the project managers who are quoting and selling the product
  • Oversee the auditing

Industry Drivers

Managing aging and end-of-life IT assets can be complicated — so let Shyft handle it for you. As fast as technology is evolving, there is an even faster rate at which technology is aging. From ensuring compliance with data privacy laws, evaluating the best financial return from your disposition options and using environmentally friendly practices, Shyft brings decades of experience to your firm. We believe reverse logistics is just as important as your forward logistics — the entire product and customer lifecycle matters.
