Raising the Bar for Device Testing
Modern devices are increasingly complex, making robust, repeatable testing more important than ever. Phonecheck brings an advanced, automated approach that complements our existing diagnostic ecosystem, which already includes BlackBelt360, Blancco, and our authorised relationships with Apple, Samsung and Microsoft.
Using proprietary software, Phonecheck performs comprehensive device health checks across smartphones, Apple Mac computers, PCs and other hardware categories. It tests hundreds of individual functions, including battery health, cameras, sensors, connectivity and hardware integrity, helping ensure every device meets clearly defined quality standards.
Identifying Non‑Genuine Parts
One of the growing challenges in the refurbished market is the prevalence of non‑genuine or unauthorised replacement components. Phonecheck can identify non‑original parts early in the process, helping to protect end users, maintain resale value and support compliance with OEM expectations.
This insight allows us to make informed decisions around repair, refurbishment or rerouting devices into the most appropriate lifecycle channel. The result is accurate grading, improved transparency and greater confidence for our customers.
Certified Data Wiping
Data security remains a non‑negotiable priority for organisations and consumers alike. Phonecheck provides certified data erasure that meets recognised international standards, supporting compliance, governance and privacy requirements.
Alongside on‑site diagnostics and wiping, Phonecheck also supports remote testing and erasure. This enables devices to be securely assessed without needing to be physically returned first, reducing unnecessary transport, improving efficiency and supporting faster decision‑making across enterprise and trade‑in programmes.
Choice, Flexibility and Sustainability
Every customer has different priorities, whether that’s speed, compliance or maximum value recovery. Adding Phonecheck to our existing suite of tools expands the options available to our clients without compromise, while maintaining consistent quality, security and reporting standards.
Accurate diagnostics, trusted data wiping and transparent grading are also essential to extending device lifecycles. By improving assessment speed and refurbishment outcomes, Phonecheck supports higher yields from returned devices, reducing premature recycling and enabling a more circular approach to technology.
A Natural Fit for TMT First
Innovation has always been central to TMT First’s approach. Partnering with Phonecheck isn’t about replacing existing capabilities, but strengthening them. It reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and our belief that trust is built through evidence, data and consistency.
Being approached to work with TMT First was too good an opportunity to miss. As soon as the teams spoke, there was a real appetite to get things moving. This partnership is fantastic because many individuals from both companies have worked together previously. It was lovely to see them collaborating again and establishing what we hope will be a long-term vision in this software space. Both TMT First and Phonecheck work with the future in mind and have long-term goals.

On a personal note I have worked with Adam Whitehouse for many years so it was great to be invited to collaborate again.
As customer expectations continue to rise, partnerships like this ensure TMT First remains at the forefront of quality, security and sustainability across the technology lifecycle.
