See every asset's trace.

Hand us a pallet of laptops — or drop your drives in a prepaid mail-in kit — and watch each asset move through its lifecycle with a document trail attached. Every serial. Every stage. Every timestamp.

Destroyed. Documented. Done.

In short

Trace gives every IT asset a serial-level trace through five stages — Received → Verified → Wiped → Destroyed or Refurbished → Resold or Recycled. Each batch closes with a Trace Report, Certificate of Destruction, and Chain of Custody, so you can see exactly what happened to every device.

What is a Trace?

A Trace is the complete, serial-level record of one asset's journey through disposition. Five stages, one per milestone — and every transition between them is timestamped and logged to your chain of custody.

  1. STAGE 1

    Received

    Your assets arrive under seal — from a free on-site pickup or a prepaid mail-in kit — and every serial is scanned at the dock.

  2. STAGE 2

    Verified

    Each serial is matched against the pickup manifest, photographed, and reconciled. Any discrepancy is flagged the same day.

  3. STAGE 3

    Wiped

    Every drive is overwritten and verified — aligned to NAID AAA / i-SIGMA specifications. Wipes are free, always.

  4. STAGE 4

    Destroyed / Refurbished

    Drives you flag for destruction (or that fail verification) are shredded for $10/drive. Working assets are tested, graded, and re-imaged.

  5. STAGE 5

    Resold / Recycled

    Refurbished assets are resold — and you share the revenue, which is what funds the free service. Shredded material goes to certified downstream recyclers.

Every stage transition is timestamped and written to the batch chain-of-custody log.

Tracing is built into every disposition we run — see our full ITAD services: pickup, wiping, destruction, and resale.
