Desktop Laptop and Server Hardware Inventory Software for IT Recycling companies
IT recycling or resale companies either sell or process large number of computer items on daily basis. Most companies do not have any processes or automation in place that can gather the data automatically from the computer items that they process day to day basis.
For example, a IT recycling company in Manchester - UK processes approximately 30,000 desktops, laptops and server items every month. Most of these 30,000 items are not checked properly or inventorized at component level.
Only processor, memory and hard disk size is checked on some items manually that takes alot of time and most of the time information collected manually is inaccurate and is causing the businesses huge losses. Handwritten labels are attached to each inventory item. This manual process of checking the system, recording the component information manually and then writing the labels by hand and attaching to the systems is time consuming and not affective at all.
For example, when inventorizing thousands of desktops and laptops manually most of the time RAM size is logged incorrectly as well as processor type. Many times I have seen, due to inaffective and manual checking Core i7 processor were logged as Core 2 Duo on so many systems. Which were then sold as Core 2 Duo but actually they were Core i7 Processor dekstops.
Due to the lack of automated computer hardware inventory software for IT recycling companies, most of the equipment is processed or resold without through checking or logging causing businesses to suffer and absorb large amount of losses.
Due to business losses many smaller IT recycling companies are unable operate and are shutting down rapidly. Therefore it is very important for each IT computer recycling business to know what exactly they are selling without spending too much time on inventorizing their equipment. The automation is the key to success here.
What Computer IT Recycling businesses need for Inventory & barcode labelling
Computer IT recycling or remarketing businesses need a sophisticated automated computer hardware inventory software specially developed for IT recycling companies that can take the pain away associated with manual inventory work.
A software solution for IT recycling companies that can automatically take inventory of all computers such as laptops, desktops and servers by installed components with indepth details.
This is possible with NIS - Network Computer Hardware Inventory software. With NIS software solution, Computer IT recycling business can setup a inventory lab with NIS server, network switch and ZPL thermal label printer. Attach 200 desktops, laptops and servers to the network and power on the inventory items.
Each inventory item automatically boots from PXE Network via NIS server regardless of OS or hard disk drives in each system, NIS server automatically collect all the hardware component information, collected component information is automatically stored in the database and a self adhesive barcode label is automatically printed for each item. This is all done turning the power-on button for inventory item without installing any software or touching the keyboard or mouse. The solution is fully automated and no human intervention is required other than switch the power-on button on each inventory item.
NIS - Computer Hardware Inventory Software for IT recycling business works independently regardless of OS whether installed in the inventory item or not, NIS does not care whether hard disk drive is present in the inventory item or not. This solution works via network card and is not dependent on local storage device, hard disk drive or operating system.
Computer IT recycling companies can then use 2d barcode scanner to maintain their inventory, process selected number of inventory items, print reports by compoenent level, view KPI, graphs and charts and so much.
Automated inventory software for computer IT recycling companies is a business tool that every recycling company should consider deploying.
