Reverse IT and ReflexSystems for sustainability
At first glance, the partnership between Reverse IT and ReflexSystems may seem surprising, as both companies can also be seen as competitors. ReflexSystems develops and supplies hardware and software solutions for the food industry, which partially overlaps with Reverse IT's offerings. Ruben Swama of Reverse IT explains: “We have been in contact for some time and discovered that we can complement each other. ReflexSystems can benefit from our refurbished hardware, which is advantageous for their customers and contributes to the sustainability of mobile scanning solutions.
The power of refurbished
Purchasing refurbished hardware offers organizations various advantages, according to Swama:
“The costs are typically 40 to 50 percent lower, which is, of course, the main argument for most business owners. In an era where environmental awareness is on the rise, it's also important to consider the environmental impact of producing new hardware. Production, for example, requires significant amounts of water and results in CO2 emissions.”
Since COVID-19 emerged, additional benefits have become evident:
“There is a significant chip shortage, which causes delays in hardware deliveries. Shipping containers have also become scarce, leading to increased transport costs from Asia. Refurbished devices are much easier to supply.”
Future plans
Although the partnership between Reverse IT and ReflexSystems is already taking strong shape, Ruben Swama sees many opportunities for growth. He emphasizes that they not only aim to offer more products but also want to expand their advisory role. This means informing ReflexSystems' customers about new technologies and options, enabling them to transition to new hardware in a timely manner. In this way, customers' operations remain efficient and up-to-date.
