Can Refurbished Technology Support My Business?

This is a question we get asked a lot at Techbuyer and our answer is, generally, always the same: yes if you purchase through a trusted and quality refurbished technology supplier.  

Just as with the secondhand car market, the tech industry has its fair share of wheeler dealers selling unreliable used devices. However, it is also full of companies working hard to provide high-quality refurbished technology that delivers exceptional performance and reliability.

Can I Trust Refurbished Technology?

This question isn’t about whether or not you can trust refurbished technology, but whether or not you can trust the company from which you purchase. Many refurbishment companies ensure that their products undergo a rigorous testing and quality-assurance process to guarantee reliability and performance.  

At Techbuyer, our technicians follow a thorough 25-point refurbishment process that includes testing, endurance assurance and data sanitisation to ensure that our customers receive a device that doesn’t just perform, but that they can rely on as well. That is why we deliver a three-year warranty with the devices that we sell.  

However, there are also many companies and individuals out there that give refurbished a bad name! Choosing a trusted and reliable provider for refurbished technology is essential.  

How Do I Know if I Can Trust a Refurbished Technology Provider?  

When examining if a refurbished technology provider can offer you everything you need, looking at reviews, testimonials and accreditations is a good place to start. If a company is responsible for unreliable equipment, it will be evident in the reviews they receive. In most cases, companies can’t remove or edit reviews when left on platforms, including TrustPilot and Feefo, and so you can see a full picture of a company’s performance from real customers.  

Similarly, if a company has case studies on their website, you can get an idea of what that company might be like to work with or purchase from. Whilst case studies may be more curated than reviews, in general they are a great platform to see feedback from happy customers.  

If a company has achieved and holds accreditations, they will generally have had to go through strict audit and uphold agreed standards. Many accreditations are recognised across industries, such as the ISO management system, and many are a sign of quality and reliability within a company. 

What Can Refurbished Technology Do for My Business?  

Refurbished tech offers a range of benefits including reduced price and a lesser environmental impact. What we have worked to prove, in the research that we do, is that refurbished devices are also capable of performing as well as, if not better than, new with the right configuration. 

At Techbuyer we undertook a 2 year research project with the University of East London; this study proved that refurbished servers matched new devices in terms of both performance and efficiency with the right configuration. This means that with refurbished technology you don’t have to compromise on performance.
