Upload your hardware list through the platform, or share a photo or screenshot of part numbers, specifications and quantities. XITAD's Residual Value Scan analyzes your inventory and first generates an indicative residual value for your IT hardware.
Your project is presented to a worldwide network of buyers. Because buyers bid against each other, per line or on the whole lot, proceeds are typically higher and closer to true market value. You compare the bids side by side and choose the winner yourself with a single click.
We tailor transport to the scale and sensitivity of your project. Depending on your needs we handle the full logistics chain: sealed roll cages, screened drivers and live GPS tracking, for an unbroken chain of custody from your premises to processing.
All data is fully and irreversibly wiped to nationally and internationally recognized data sanitization standards. Depending on your preference, this happens on-site at your own location or in a secured processing facility.
The agreed residual value is paid out, after which all audit trails, certificates of destruction and ESG reports are consolidated centrally. Your complete compliance and audit file is then available for download instantly.
Traditional IT disposal through a single broker often leads to unnecessary value loss. XITAD breaks this pattern with an automated ITAD platform that offers your retired hardware to a global network of professional buyers.
Track the bidding live in the XITAD Portal and gain real-time insight into market value, bids and proceeds. You maximize the residual value of your IT infrastructure, with data destruction and compliance that are provable per device.
Your offering is not tied to the local market. We match specific lots directly with specialized buyers worldwide.
You follow the bidding live in your XITAD Portal. You know exactly what the market pays and what return to expect.

Decide for yourself how your data sanitization is carried out. From in-house wiping with professional licenses to full on-site execution by specialized engineers: every storage medium is processed to nationally and internationally recognized standards, with a certificate per device.
Run the process in-house with your own team, or scale up with experienced specialists for larger projects, data center clearances or complex on-site IT decommissioning.
Regardless of the chosen approach, all audit trails, certificates of destruction and reports are automatically consolidated within your XITAD portal and made instantly available for compliance and audit purposes.
Physical transport is the greatest risk in your IT decommissioning. A single incident leads directly to reputational damage and unforeseen fines. Using live telemetry, sealed roll cages and certified drivers, we guarantee that your hardware remains physically inaccessible until the final data wipe. You demonstrably meet every standard.
Your hardware is never out of sight. You track the transport to the meter in your XITAD Portal.
Transport is carried out with unmarked, armored vehicles and specifically screened personnel.
Disposing of our old workstations used to be a recurring headache. XITAD took the entire process off our hands, from logistics to certified data sanitization. What stood out most was the clear communication and the fair residual value we received for the retired equipment.

Within our organization we simply cannot take any risk with sensitive data. XITAD gave us an immediate guarantee that every disk and server was irreversibly overwritten. The portal is a pleasure to work with, and the per-device certificates are exactly what our auditors need.
Sarah de V.
IT Manager, Public Sector
The collaboration runs remarkably smoothly. They act fast, disposal is always neatly arranged, and they genuinely think along with you. The clear CO₂ reporting also helps us turn our own sustainability targets into something concrete internally.
