What is an IT fleet take-back?
An IT fleet take-back means handing the equipment your business no longer uses to a specialist: laptops and desktops, smartphones, tablets, servers. Revalo collects them on site, has the data erased with a certified tool and hands them to refurbishing partners.
When should you have your IT fleet taken back?
Companies usually call on a take-back service during:
- a fleet refresh
- an office move or site closure
- a reorganisation of departments
- a clear-out of stored, unused equipment
Revalo, your Recovery of your IT fleet facilitator
We connect your business with our refurbishing partners to give your equipment a second life. Collection, erasure, take-back, revaluation.
Our B2B model has one clear goal: to make take-back easy.
Our refurbishing partners then:
- Restore
- Repair
- Resell
- Recycle
How does the IT fleet take-back process work?
List and pickup
Send us your equipment list: an Excel file or a photo is enough. We come and pick it up.
Handover to the partner
The batch goes to the best-suited refurbishing partner, as close as possible to your sites.
Audit and erasure
The partner audits every device, erases the data with a certified tool, then refurbishes or recycles it depending on its condition.
CSR report
You receive your erasure certificates and your CO2 report.
You gather it, we handle the rest.
Bring the equipment together in one spot per site: a meeting room, a storeroom, a corner of the open space. Our teams work from there, not desk to desk, and plan around you so nobody is disturbed.
- One gathering point per site
- Not packed: we pack on site, as a paid service
- Transfer note signed at pickup
Take-back, revaluation and collection: what is the difference?
IT fleet take-back
Organising the recovery, audit and revaluation of a set of professional IT equipment. It is the end-to-end service.
Revaluation
Assessing the equipment that still has residual value, so it gets a second life on the refurbished market.
Equipment collection
The logistics operation that picks up the equipment on site once the scope is validated. Devices beyond use go to a traceable WEEE channel.
End-of-life business IT: what the rules say.
WEEE: the company stays responsible
An end-of-life business laptop or smartphone is waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). In Europe, the company that owns it remains responsible until it is properly treated. A take-back gives you the traceability that proves it.
Recycling reportGDPR: erase before you let go
GDPR requires personal data to be protected to the very end, including when equipment leaves the company. Erasure certificates are your proof if you are audited.
Data erasureReuse comes first
European waste law puts reuse ahead of recycling. Refurbishing your devices rather than shredding them follows that order.
CSRD: numbers, not promises
The CO2 report delivered after each take-back puts a figure on the emissions avoided. It slots straight into your CSR or CSRD reporting.
CO2 reportWhy have your IT fleet taken back by Revalo?
Stronger security
Data on every device is erased with a certified tool. Your company’s data stays protected.
Data erasureA shared commitment
Refurbishing a device avoids manufacturing a new one, the stage that weighs most in its carbon footprint.
CO2 reportA social, community dimension
Part of the equipment is redistributed to local reuse centres. A tangible impact beyond the environment.
Collected and refurbished in the same country
What is in the United States stays in the United States, what is in the United Kingdom stays in the United Kingdom. Logistics stay simple and local.
IT fleet refresh: prepare your take-back well.
A well-prepared take-back fits in a single pickup. Three habits are enough.
- 1
Time the take-back with the new delivery
Old devices do not sit in a cupboard and keep more value on the refurbished market.
- 2
Release devices from your MDM
Remove them from Apple Business Manager, Intune or your management tool, and turn off activation locks.
- 3
Gather the equipment in one spot
One room or storeroom per site: our teams do not go desk to desk. If it is not packed, we pack it on site as a paid service.

What are the benefits for my company?
Your data is erased with certification, you comply with e-waste regulations and you free up time for your teams.
How do you audit a company’s IT fleet?
In a Revalo take-back, the audit is done device by device, after collection. Technicians at our refurbishing partners check each device on their test benches: serial number, functional and cosmetic condition, assigned grade. Certified erasure of the data follows, and you receive an audit report that matches each serial number against your inventory.
What is IT fleet refurbishment?
Refurbishment (or ITAD, IT Asset Disposition) means diagnosing the equipment, erasing data securely and in line with GDPR, auditing and listing the assets, then reusing, reselling or redistributing them instead of throwing them away. It is also a chance to plan your fleet refresh rather than suffer obsolescence.
How much does an IT equipment take-back cost?
It depends on your fleet. The age, condition and volume of your devices determine their residual value: recent equipment can cover the cost of the take-back, or even generate a return, while older or broken equipment may require a contribution. On-site packing is a paid option. Send us your list: you receive a clear proposal within about 48 hours, before any commitment.
Do we need to pack the equipment?
It is optional, but gather it in one spot on your site. If it is already packed (boxes, pallets…), we collect it as it is. If not, our teams can pack it on site as a paid option.
How should I prepare my equipment before refurbishment?
Before collection, sign out of the accounts set up on each device: Apple ID and Find My (iCloud), Google account, Samsung Knox. Also remove the devices from your MDM (Apple Business Manager, Intune…). Otherwise the device stays locked and cannot be refurbished. You can also reset the devices: certified erasure is carried out afterwards in every case.
Is there a minimum volume?
From around 5 devices, and every request is assessed case by case. Send us your list and we will get back to you quickly.
How long does a take-back take?
Allow about 48 hours to receive a tailored solution, about 7 days to organise the collection, and about 6 weeks to receive all the documents: erasure certificates, audit report and CO2 report.
