Examples of completed ITAD projects
From workplace refreshes to datacenter clearances. XITAD supports organizations in securely phasing out IT hardware and realizing a market-conform return.
The XITAD Process
From write-off to value
in 5 steps.
1
Residual value assessment
Upload your hardware list or an export from your CMDB, ITAM or asset management system. XITAD analyzes models, specifications, quantities and current market demand to determine an indicative residual value.
2
Competing bids
Specialized partners within the XITAD network submit competing bids. Market dynamics set the price, not a single buyer.
3
Chain of Custody
Transport and processing are tailored to the size and sensitivity of the project. Every handover is recorded within a verifiable chain of custody.
4
Certified data destruction
Storage media are processed according to the agreed method, including certified data destruction, physical destruction or a combination of both.
5
Reporting & settlement
After completion you receive certificates, reports and project documentation. The project is then settled financially according to the agreed terms.
Data-driven ITAD
Market-driven
residual value.
Many organizations receive only a single bid on retired equipment. As a result, the true market value of the hardware often remains unclear.
XITAD brings projects to the attention of specialized partners within an international network of refurbishers, remarketing companies and professional IT traders. Competing bids give a more reliable picture of the market value and help make better use of available value.
International reach
Your equipment is offered to specialized partners across multiple European markets, not solely within the local market.
Transparent valuation
By comparing bids side by side, you get a better substantiated picture of the current market value.

Chain of Custody
Control during
the most vulnerable moment.
For many organizations, the biggest risk begins the moment equipment leaves the building. That is why transport, processing and final destination are recorded within one verifiable process.
Live GPS Tracking
Depending on the project requirements, shipments can be tracked via GPS and additional security measures.
TAPA TSR-1 logistics
Where required, sealed roll cages, screened drivers and secured transport solutions can be deployed.

Compliance & Control
Control over every step.
Disposing of IT hardware involves more than just equipment. Data, compliance, logistics and residual value must be demonstrably managed, documented and accounted for.
That is why every handover is recorded within a verifiable process, supported by certificates, audit trails and project reports.
From workplace refreshes to datacenter clearances: organizations retain insight into what happens, where it happens and how it is recorded.
