A Labor Cost Solution
Prohibitive labor costs can override the implementation of proper erasure and disposal of devices.
It takes about 8 minutes to destroy 1 cellphone with an internal battery - with The Databot it's 8 seconds.
Multiply that by thousands of devices and you will save 100's of thousands of dollars on labor annually.
Now you can destroy devices properly in house at a fraction of the cost. Plus, we will pay you $4.00 / pound for cell phones - $1.00 / pound for tablets or fair value.
The Databot will pay for itself 10 fold - whether that is measured based on mitigating the risk of a data leak or a fire, reducing the cost of labor, or with us buying your destroyed devices back from you.
A Data Breach Solution
40% of devices in our industry go to a facility without being properly wiped, and are at risk of a data leak and massive fines.
Consumers and employees can sue your organization if their data was improperly handled and leaked.
In 2022, the average cost of a data breach in the US was $9.44 million.
A Safety Solution
In the past, destroying the data on a Dead or Locked device required a tech to open the device and pull the motherboard for physical destruction.
Now, with The Databot, physical destruction is completed without ever opening the device. That means no battery fires and most importantly keeping your staff safe.

Working Together For a Better Future
We're committed to helping our partners achieve their goals of Zero emmissions, Zero waste and Zero workplace safety incidents.
At Early Upgrade, we help large enterprises and our upstream partners achieve their goals by reducing labor, committing to reuse of electronics at higher rates than traditional e-scrapping, and by diverting tens of thousands of pounds of e-waste from landfills each year. This translates to thousands of tons of CO2e diverted from entering the atmosphere.
