Beyond the Grading Game: How B2B Leaders Simplify Mobile Asset Recovery
For many enterprise IT leaders, the process of retiring a mobile fleet feels like a gamble. You receive an enticing initial quote, only to see it eroded by subjective things such as "cosmetic grading" once the devices leave your hands.
At e-Cycle Inc., we’ve eliminated the guesswork for our B2B partners. By focusing on a transparent Binary Pricing model, providing fully funded logistics, and maintaining top-tier industry certifications, we transform asset recovery into a predictable, secure revenue stream.
How to Simplify Mobile Asset Recovery
Stop the "Grading Game" with Binary Pricing
The biggest barrier to a predictable ROI is the subjective A/B/C cosmetic grading used by most recyclers. We’ve replaced this with a simple, objective standard.
- Predictable Pricing: We price devices based on a simple binary—Functional vs. Non-Functional
- Objective Standards: A device earns "Working Condition" value if it powers on with a healthy battery, has a fully functioning LCD/keypad, and an intact housing
- No "Price Shaving": Because we don't penalize for standard office wear-and-tear, the quote you expect is the payment you receive
Zero-Cost Logistics
We understand that shipping a large quantity of mobile devices can be a logistical headache. To remove this barrier for our clients, e-Cycle handles the logistics up front.
- Free Shipping: We cover all shipping costs to our facility for our B2B clients
- Immediate Risk Transfer: All devices are shipped F.O.B. destination; once they reach our warehouse, the title and risk of loss transfer to e-Cycle
- No Rejection Fees: Even if a device is non-functional or so old it isn’t on the price list at all, we recycle it at zero cost to you, removing the liability of managing e-waste scrap
Certified Security and Sustainability
In a B2B environment, data security and environmental compliance are non-negotiable. e-Cycle is an R2v3 certified organization, ensuring your mobile devices are handled according to the highest standards.
