Reconciliation
Every returned asset must match the lease schedule. Serialized receiving and audit reports make that possible.
Leasing companies and lessors
Lease returns, processed. Graded, erased, remarketed.
K12 Computers processes off-lease IT equipment for leasing companies: collection from lessees, serialized audit and grading, NIST 800-88 data erasure, condition reporting and remarketing through K12's resale channels and buyer network. Every asset is reported by serial number so it can be reconciled against the lease schedule.

What is at stake
Why disposition matters here.
Residual value
Off-lease value depends on fast, accurate grading and the right resale channel.
Lessee data
Returned devices can still hold the lessee's data. Each needs a documented erasure.
01
Reconcile every returned asset
Lessors need to know that every asset on the schedule came back, in what condition and what it sold for. K12 records each returned device by serial number on a receiving report, tests and grades it, and reports its final disposition.
02
Protect residual value
Off-lease value depends on fast, accurate grading and the right channel. K12 remarkets tested, graded inventory through its buyer network of resellers and wholesale buyers and sells certified refurbished devices on Amazon.
Lessee data is erased to NIST SP 800-88 guidelines with a data deletion certificate per device that can be shared with the lessee.
What we take
Off-lease equipment, graded and back on the market.
K12 grades and tests every returned device, erases it to NIST 800-88 guidelines and remarkets equipment through its resale channels, including a buyer network of resellers and wholesale buyers and certified refurbished sales on Amazon.
