Business Buyback
Turn retired technology into recovered capital.
Recover value from your own technology or bring device buyback to the businesses you serve, all without building the operation yourself.
Make device recovery part of your business.
Technology reaches the end of its useful life in one place long before it reaches the end of its value. Phobio helps businesses recover that remaining value and gives partners a simple way to offer the same capability to their customers.
Whether you're managing a company-wide technology refresh, recovering devices across a distributed organization, or adding buyback to an existing customer relationship, Phobio manages the process from initial valuation through final disposition.

How it works
Bulk Device Buyback
Tell Us What You Have
Get clear value for your technology. Share your device inventory, and Phobio provides market-driven pricing so you can understand the recoverable value before devices leave your control.
Move the Devices
Choose the logistics that fit your business. Ship devices to Phobio or coordinate pickup for larger volumes. We manage the logistics, so your team doesn't have to build a device recovery operation around every refresh.
Process & Erase
Know what happened to every device. Phobio evaluates each device against documented grading criteria and securely erases its data, creating the records your IT and security teams need.
Recover the Capital
Put device value back on the balance sheet. Once processing is complete, Phobio returns the recovered value to your business, turning depreciating technology into capital you can put toward what comes next.
Report
Get one clear record of the outcome. See device disposition, grading, data erasure, recovered value, and program results in one place.
Workforce Device Recovery
Reach Your Employees
Give every employee a simple return path. Create an easy way for remote and distributed employees to return company technology without routing every device back through your IT team.
Make the Handoff Easy
Take logistics off IT's plate. Phobio guides the employee through the return process and manages shipping directly, wherever the device is located.
