So this blog is about blowing our own trumpet and we’re not going to apologise for that. Since 2006 TMT First has been a force in the secondary tech market, a vision of innovation and drive led by our founder Adam Whitehouse and instilled into every employee. We truly are a one stop shop for secondary market tech services no matter what service you require or sector you operate in.
When we refer to a one stop shop what exactly do we mean? At TMT First we are at the heart of the secondary and circular tech economy and cover every facet of the industry. Our range of services operate both individually and collectively, providing our customers with a comprehensive range of services to pick and choose from as needed.
Let’s take a look at the one stop shop for secondary market tech. Here’s the complete range of services from TMT First:
- Graded Devices – at the heart of the circular economy is preowned and preloved tech, including laptops, phones, tablets, wearables and games consoles. At TMT First we have a constantly evolving stock list generated from both buying and selling devices. Our comprehensive grading guide ensures clients know where they stand when buying or selling.
- Repair & Refurbish – as an approved service centre for Apple, Microsoft and Samsung, TMT First undertake repairs for consumers, corporate customers, resellers, distributors and manufacturers. Being approved means we are fully trained, have the right tools and original parts. Plus, we can extend device life by replacing batteries, screen polishing, screen burn reduction and replacing factory fitted screen protectors.
- Recycling & Disposal – where possible our aim is ‘keeping technology alive for longer’ but when a device is either beyond economical repair or obsolete this may not be possible. At TMT First we shred down devices to their source materials and then recycle what’s left – the most eco-friendly way to dispose of devices with our zero-landfill policy.
- Data Wiping – digital security is a priority for our clients and TMT First, so all devices that pass through our facility undertake a BlackBelt360 certified data wipe to remove all information prior to repurposing.
- Grading & Evaluation – we offer clients our services to grade and assess their stock, ensuring they maximise the worth of their aged tech fleet. This may just be an assessment, or a full refurb (where commercially viable).
- Maintenance Agreements – for non-warranty repairs TMT First offer maintenance contracts to manage repairs for fleet customers. This type of agreement is not insurance, it is a service wrap to ensure repair costs can be managed.
- Buyback Programme – we act as a middleman for retailers, networks, OEM’s and resellers to underwrite the value of traded devices, making the upgrade path smoother.
So in summary, if you need any service in the secondary tech market and circular economy, TMT First have got you covered. Get in touch today.
