NEW! Complete Your Lifecycle with ReturnCenter Automate
ReturnCenter Automate enables you to complete your lifecycle with hardware asset data generated directly from disposition processes.
Say goodbye to manually updating milestones. Automate closes the loop between you and ITADs, leasing companies, or other disposition partners with automatic status updates and documentation for your assets at the end of their lifecycle.
For each shipment booked through the ReturnCenter App, Automate will:
- Update asset records based on data from a Certificate of Destruction and a Disposition/Settlement Report.
- Automatically update records as a supported ITAD vendor uploads/provides these documents to the ReturnCenter platform, so records are always current as data becomes available.
- Add links to asset records for both documents and the original order.
- Add comments each time the state, substate, resale value or any dates change during the disposition process.
ReturnCenter Automate saves valuable time, eliminates errors, and enables the data flows that ensure precision IT asset management from start to finish.
Use Cases
- A company has remote workers across the United States. When employees are offboarded, the Human Resources department uses ReturnCenter in ServiceNow to recover employee equipment. HR has access to one service, Boxes and Labels, and all shipments are billed to the HR department. The remote employee address is entered, a box and label are sent to collect the laptop, and the destination is automatically set to be sent to their IT department or vendor.
- An IT asset manager needs to manage different types of equipment returns that are billed to different billing parties. She can create a program for lease returns that is billed to her company’s Operations division, and she can have a different program to book shipments to an IT asset disposition provider that will be billed to that partner as part of their existing agreement.
- In order to maximize their investments, a healthcare organization moves equipment between hospitals as one hospital’s need for a device decreases and another’s need increases. The hospital administrator can move assets from one hospital to another and bill the appropriate organization.
Now, it is easier than ever to schedule pickups and deliveries of your organization’s IT assets for disposition, lease return, offboarding, recycling or redeployment. Shipments are completely transparent, services are 100% carbon neutral, and best of all, everything is tracked within your ServiceNow platform.
