FAQ
Does this support redeployment of returned hardware?
Yes. Returned assets enter a "refurbished pool" and can be redeployed before new purchase, with the agent suggesting the right candidates.
Can the agent estimate sustainability gains?
Yes. Agent reports carbon-equivalent savings from extended-life redeployment and certified recycling vs. landfill.
What plan supports finance integration?
Business ($40/mo) recommended for the audit log retention finance teams need.
