ITAD Services

Every organization has to contend with internal requirements when it comes to transporting their end-of-life IT assets.  Desired services will vary depending upon the equipment type and/or the level of security required.  AER understands how crucial these elements are and will work directly with you to build a customized logistics program that maximizes security while minimizing costs.  AER offers:

• Secure Transportation
  AER follows industry best practices when transporting IT assets to one of our global facilities.  By using our own trucks or pre-qualified third party carrier, we assume all liability for your equipment and gaurantee safe delivery.
• On-site Pick-pack
  For pick-ups in office building environments, AER can provide on-site labor to properly pack and ship your equipment, ensuring damage-free delivery to one of our global facilities.
• International Transport
  AER understands the complexities involved in international shipping of equipment.  Every country has its own regulations and requirements and we take every precaution to ensure that your equipment is picked up and transported in a secure and timely manner.

Determining the condition of any assets received is a crucial step in planning the Revers Logistics cycle for that asset.  In order to identify functional peripherals and assets and separate them from non-functional units and route each accordingly, AER offers a comprehensive reverse supply chain screening and testing process that ensures value recovery and reduces unnecessary waste.

AER Worldwide understands the critical role IT Asset Disposition Reporting plays in asset management and global compliance. We offer a full suite of customized, real-time environmental and financial reports online, allowing you to stay informed and take a proactive approach to ITAD decision-making.

AER’s reporting suite delivers detailed asset data, financial and chain-of-custody accountability and ensures compliance with corporate policies, legal requirements and regulatory mandates.  Working with AER means:

• Online portal with 24x7 access to standard and custom reports.
• Custom reporting of any data point at no extra cost to customers.
• Data integration with IT asset management systems via multiple formats and transmission methodologies.
• Audit record for every unit received and every pound processed and sent downstream.
• Data Depot provides a transparent permanent record of any material processed through one of our global facilities.

Brokering excess IT equipment in bulk leaves value on the table. Our global sales team assesses equipment for repair, resale or destruction, optimizing each IT asset for its potential residual value.  By marketing directly to end users, we reward your investment and are able to return the majority of the remarketing revenue to use.  We even harvest parts for use in repair and refurbishing, or for resale.

Global environmental responsibility is only the beginning of end-of-life asset recycling.  By choosing a low-cost recycling partner without a good reputation you open yourself up to risks like:

• Counterfeiting
  Proprietary items being sold on the open market.
• Data Theft
  Company, customer or employee information stolen with intent of being used fraudulently.
• Dumping
  Improperly disposed of electronics/metal bearing equipment can leach metals into the soil and contaminate water supplies which can result in fines, negative publicity and even loss of business.
• Storage Costs
  Associated with storing equipment rather than having to deal with finding a solution for properly processing the material.

A reputable partner like AER Worldwide can mitigate those risks and provide customized global solutions to handle your entire end-of-life material management needs. Assets that cannot be reused or remarketed are recycled using our ISO 14001 certified processes and are de-manufactured, separating the components by primary materials and using them to generate commodity-grade materials such as Plastic, Copper, Steel, Gold and other metals.
