Lunch Session: How ITADs will Benefit from the OBADA Blockchain
Blockchain is transforming supply chains around the world with huge gains in efficiency and accountability. The “reverse supply chain” of IT asset disposition will be no different. But without a “blockchain standard,” the market could fragment. If ITADs are forced to connect to multiple incompatible blockchains our industry will not see the benefits of blockchain, everyone will lose. The “Open Blockchain for Asset Disposition Alliance” (OBADA) is a nonprofit multi-stakeholder alliance developing the blockchain standards to keep us all on “the same blockchain.”

Mobility in ITAD: Mitigate Risk While Increasing Profitability
How can ITADs use data to intelligently engage the $30 billion reverse logistics mobile device space? This presentation will review the risks and opportunities associated with collecting, processing and reselling mobile assets. After reviewing the core challenges associated with the new CTIA grading guidelines and existing R2 compliance, Seth will provide an in-depth overview of how ITADs can scale and create value in the used mobile space. The PrologMobile system uses OEM and Carrier data to automate mobile device processing operations. Through their work with wireless industry leaders, PrologMobile is able to generate mobile device asset reports and inventory analytics that help you make better purchasing, repair and remarketing decisions. The culmination of all of this will provide attendees with a fresh perspective on how data science will reshape the mobility landscape in this industry.

The Global Mobility Opportunity
Bob will discuss “The Global Mobility Opportunity”. Mobility as a service includes sourcing and reselling used smartphones, tablets, and iPads along with providing repairs and even refurbishing.
The demand for used phones, both operational, repairable, and even certified pre-owned has skyrocketed due to the ever-increasing cost of new devices. Domestically, insurance/device protection companies need replacement phones. Carriers and their dealers need CPO as a cost-effective alternative. Prepaid retailers also need CPO as an alternative to high priced phones. Finally, even Government and private enterprise are looking to used/CPO phones as an alternative to the higher priced units whose technology is not much different than that of recent generation devices. Global markets have limited access through retail and their carriers as well, so as a result, the used smartphone/tablet/iPad market is exploding.
This presentation will serve as an excellent introduction to the world of Mobility and the opportunities associated therein!
