Oaknet Launches Smart Trade for Business

In a bid to simplify the trade-in process for digital devices, Oaknet Corporation has unveiled its new service, Smart Trade for Business. Officially launched in Tokyo, this innovative buyback service seeks to solve the challenges faced by corporations in disposing of their unwanted digital devices while promoting sustainable practices.

Background of Smart Trade for Business

Founded in 1985, Oaknet has extensive experience in B2B online auctions, amassing a wealth of knowledge in circular economy strategies. The company established a robust auction platform across 50 countries, linking over 2,000 buyers since entering the digital products sector in 2005. Through both B2B and B2C channels, Oaknet has successfully aided in the remarketing of various digital devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers.

The need for Smart Trade for Business arises from the recognized inefficiencies faced by organizations in managing their obsolete digital assets. Often, due to complicated sales processes and fears of data breaches, many companies do not capitalize on the reuse value of their devices, leading to unnecessary disposal costs. To combat this issue, Oaknet has developed a solution that harnesses the hidden value in the secondary market, thereby introducing this groundbreaking service.

Features of Smart Trade for Business

Smart Trade for Business boasts several key features tailored specifically for corporations looking to efficiently assess and sell their digital devices online:

1. Streamlined Online Trade-In Process: This service allows companies to conduct all necessary procedures — including estimates, collection requests, identity verification, and contracting — entirely online. The instant estimating feature enables businesses to receive quotes with minimal input, significantly reducing time and complexity in comparison to traditional methods, which often relied on calls, emails, or faxes.

2. Robust Data Security: Ensuring data security is paramount. Oaknet employs Blancco's data erasure software, a trusted solution utilized by major corporations and government agencies. With over 18 million devices securely wiped over the last two decades, Smart Trade for Business guarantees that all devices are properly erased, accompanied by a complimentary data erasure report. Moreover, item tracking and thorough security measures, including metal detection gates and surveillance cameras, further minimize potential risks of data leakage or loss.

3. Competitive Buyback Pricing: Oaknet's vast buyer network and proprietary global auction system facilitate optimal pricing for devices being traded. The diversity of buyers enables proper valuation even for devices often deemed low-grade, such as those with screen damage. Consequently, Smart Trade for Business offers reasonable buyback prices reflective of current market conditions.

As part of the service launch, Oaknet will showcase Smart Trade for Business at the Japan IT Week Spring 2025, a prominent IT and DX exhibition. This will mark the first appearance of the “IT System Support Pavilion” in Tokyo. Attendees can participate in live demonstrations of the buyback process and have face-to-face consultations for their device replacements.
