Redemtech Expands Operations

Columbus, Ohio-based Redemtech, a provider of “Technology Change Management” (TCM) services, has announced the opening of a new 115,000-square-foot processing facility in Richmond, Va.

According to Redemtech, the facility, which will employ 80 people, expands its network of regional processing centers, bringing it closer to organizations with operations in the Eastern United States.

The Richmond processing facility includes an automated pallet flow conveyor system, wireless batch picking, climate-controlled integration and advanced packing machines to streamline workflow and speed asset turnaround.

“We have engineered this facility to provide faster, more efficient processing of assets,” Eric Vetrano, Redemtech senior vice president of operations, says. “By building on best practices from our other facilities and implementing new systems we are able to reduce asset handling and more easily scale to handle peak volumes.”

Robert Houghton, president and founder of Redemtech, says, “Asset redeployment and disposition programs, which are essential components of TCM, are often fragmented across multiple suppliers to reduce transportation costs. That increases risk and prevents the full benefits of TCM from being realized.” He adds, “Our network of facilities enables national or international organizations to implement TCM in a way that speeds the deployment, reutilization or final disposition of assets while keeping transportation costs low.”

Redemtech processing centers prepare new and used technology assets for deployment and manage disposition at end of life, including warranted destruction of sensitive hard drive data. Its processing facilities are equipped with Retrac, Redemtech's Web-based business process automation system that assists in processing unsorted technology assests based on client business rules. New computing devices are routed through the processing center for imaging, configuration, data security and asset tagging, while assets targeted for retirement undergo data security management and compliance reporting processes prior to being remarketed or recycled.

“Our clients are taking a more strategic approach to asset management,”

says Jill Vaske, vice president, Redemtech. “Supply risks and manufacturer delivery constraints are being countered through alternative stock planning and sourcing approaches.”
