Accurate triage at intake

80-point diagnostics grade each trade-in on arrival — battery health, lock status, repair history, and cosmetic condition — so buyback decisions and payouts are based on verified data, not estimates.

The same certification on every device

Whether a unit comes in through a carrier program or an OEM channel, it passes through the same gold-standard certification and earns a Device History Report that carries downstream.

Built for high-volume throughput

Workflow automation routes each device to the right station, grade, and downstream channel automatically — built for floors processing high volumes of trade-ins without per-device operator decisions.

How it runs on your floor.

  1. Intake in seconds

    QuickCheck tests iPhones with no app and no setup; Google Mode brings Android intake to about five seconds. Devices enter the pipeline as fast as they arrive.

  2. Pay out on verified data

    Battery health comes straight from the device's own settings, boosted batteries are caught, and non-OEM parts are flagged — so trade-in values reflect true condition, not an estimate you eat later.

  3. Erase while you test

    Fast Erase runs the wipe in the background while the device is still being tested — completing in about four seconds, with no minimum battery and no intake delays.

  4. Route to the right channel

    Conditional workflows send each graded device to the right station and downstream channel automatically, with the Device History Report attached for resale.

What your team gets.

  • QuickCheck — no-app, no-setup iPhone intake
  • Google Mode — full Android setup in about 5 seconds
  • Fast Erase — ~4-second background wipe with no minimum battery
  • Boosted-battery detection and OEM parts authentication
  • Automated routing by grade, station, and downstream channel
  • Relay Mode keeps iPhones processing even when Apple's servers are down

Common questions.

How do you keep payouts accurate?

Every grade is built on objective, automated diagnostics: the battery reading is the exact value from the device's settings, the boosted-battery check catches modified batteries hiding their real health, and OEM parts authentication flags non-genuine screens, batteries, and cameras. Payouts track true condition, which protects margin on every trade-in.

What does this do to our throughput?

Intake is where trade-in programs stall, so Phonecheck removes the friction: no app to install on iPhones, about five seconds of setup on Android, and a wipe that runs in the background during testing instead of holding a station. Workflow automation then routes each device without operator decisions.

Do carrier and OEM channel devices get the same certification?

Yes. Every unit passes through the same gold-standard certification regardless of the channel it arrived through, and earns the same Device History Report — so downstream buyers see one consistent credential across your entire program.
