ASSET DISPOSITION
-
ABlaze will remove all nominated assets, take them directly to the loading dock and transport the hardware from your premises. For local refreshes, we will load the old assets onto our customized trolleys, minimizing the overall time we spend at your premises. For regional and remote locations, old assets will be palletized ready for collection.

Once the assets have been delivered to us, they will be checked into our asset tracking/warehouse system. All assets will be transported into our warehouse. Each asset will be unpacked and registered onto our system. Individual barcode labels will be generated to manage each asset through our process.

The assets will then be taken to the next stage of our process where our team will test and inspect them. All these details will be captured electronically and updated instantaneously into our asset tracking/warehouse system. We inspect and test all assets on receipt unless they are obviously of no value. On completion of this testing, each asset will have its detailed condition noted against it.
