checks run through Phonecheck — and counting

From the backroom to the processing center

The same diagnostics and certification run in store backrooms and central processing centers, so a device graded at retail intake carries a consistent, verified credential all the way through your operation.

Fast, consistent diagnostics at the counter

80-point diagnostics check battery health, lock status, and IMEI and carrier history in seconds — giving store staff verified results to set accurate trade-in values on the spot.

Erasure and audit trail on every device

Audit-grade erasure produces a signed certificate of erasure and full chain of custody for each trade-in, meeting the data-handling requirements retail and carrier programs operate under.

How it runs on your floor.

  1. Intake at the counter

    QuickCheck tests iPhones with nothing to install and Google Mode sets up Android in about five seconds — fast enough for a live customer interaction, simple enough for any store associate.

  2. Quote on verified condition

    The battery reading is the exact value from the customer's own Settings screen — they can confirm it on the spot — and the Device Integrity Check verifies IMEI, storage, color, and country straight from the device.

  3. Secure the handoff

    Erasure produces a signed certificate and the chain-of-custody record follows the device from the store to your processing center — no gaps between retail intake and central operations.

  4. Process centrally, credential intact

    The processing center runs the same platform and the same certification, and the two-way API keeps your trade-in systems synced in real time end to end.

What your team gets.

  • QuickCheck counter intake — no app install, no setup
  • Battery health identical to the device's own Settings screen
  • Device Integrity Check — IMEI, storage, color, and country verified from the device
  • One consistent certification from backroom to processing center
  • Relay Mode — floors keep moving when Apple's servers go down
  • Two-way API for real-time integration with your trade-in systems

Common questions.

How much training do store associates need?

Very little — the diagnostics are automated and objective, so there is no judgment call to train for. The workflow returns the next step to perform at each stage, and iPhone intake needs nothing installed on the customer's device.

Does it integrate with our existing trade-in systems?

Yes. Phonecheck's two-way API adapts to your facility and systems, syncs data in real time, and returns the next step to perform — so results flow into the trade-in stack you already run rather than replacing it.

How is customer data handled on trade-ins?

Every trade-in gets audit-grade erasure with a signed certificate of erasure and a full chain-of-custody record from the counter onward — aligned to NIST 800-88 and ADISA-certified processes, meeting the data-handling requirements carrier and retail programs operate under.
