Net-off Co., Ltd. (based in Obu, Aichi; CEO: Katsuyuki Hoshino), a subsidiary of ReNet Japan Group Co., Ltd. (based in Nagoya, Aichi; CEO: Takeshi Kuroda), announces the start of sales for refurbished devices, primarily iPads, on 'Net-off Mercari Store' within 'Mercari Shops' operated by Mercari, Inc. (based in Minato, Tokyo; CEO: Shintaro Yamada).
Background of the Partnership
Net-off anticipates that the demand for high-quality used PCs and tablets will rise further due to shortages and price increases of new devices. Amid uncertainties in the supply environment of the new PC market caused by rising memory prices, they believe the second-hand market has significant room for growth as an alternative for cost-performance-focused consumers.
Leveraging its expertise in procurement, appraisal, maintenance, and sales developed in the reuse business, Net-off is strengthening its handling of used PCs and tablets. To ensure customer peace of mind, they utilize advanced data erasure methods adopted by government agencies and conduct a rigorous 28-point inspection process for all certified refurbished products.
Through this new partnership with Mercari, Net-off aims to expand sales and create revenue opportunities by combining Mercari's platform traffic with Net-off's maintenance and quality control capabilities. This collaboration will help acquire new sales channels and strengthen customer touchpoints for sustainable growth.
Features of Net-off's Refurbished iPads
Net-off's refurbished iPads meet strict maintenance and inspection standards for safe use:
1. Advanced Data Erasure Used by Government Agencies: Devices are initialized after data is cleared using high-security methods adopted by government organizations.
2. 28-Point Quality Inspection: Comprehensive checks including screen condition, buttons, connectors, cameras, speakers, microphones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and battery health.
3. Selection of Devices with Over 80% Battery Capacity: Ensuring quality suitable for daily use.
4. Clear 5-Grade Exterior Labeling: Allowing customers to understand the physical condition before purchase.
5. Reliable Warranty: Free replacement for natural failures within 3 months of order, with additional extended warranty options.
Future Outlook
Net-off will continue to strengthen its lineup of high-demand items like iPads in the growing refurbished device market. They aim for sustainable growth by enhancing quality control systems and diversifying sales channels, contributing to a circular economy while increasing corporate value.
