What sets Odys One apart
Your rules, not ours
Your contract is the rule book. Every check cites the rule it came from.
No stake in the sale
We don't touch the goods, decide awards or take a share of what they fetch.
Every finding traceable
Each result links to the document behind it. Anyone can re-check it.
Nothing changes
Same process, same ITADs, same files. We work from what you already hold.
The hyperscaler realityDozens of ITADs. One brand’s reputation.
Retired servers, GPUs, memory and drives leave your data centres through dozens of regional ITADs. Each sends its own certificates, in its own format, on its own timetable. Audit trails fragment, data destruction certificates don't match, downstream resale goes unwatched, and every blind spot comes back to your brand.
- 01
Proof you can't check.
Certificates of data destruction without serials. Weight instead of units. Top-up collections with no record of what moved.
- 02
Rules that are one field short of checkable.
Some terms set a goal with no control behind it, or no deadline at all. We show the small additions that would make your existing terms fully checkable. None changes how you sell.
- 03
The bar is rising.
Digital product passports, chain-of-custody rules and export controls on AI hardware all point one way: downstream transparency is fast becoming a critical necessity when dispositioning inventory.
The Odys One answerOne independent layer above every ITAD.
Odys One sits above your ITAD network as an independent governance layer. Every serialised handover, from the server rack to its final outcome, is recorded, checked against your terms and backed by a document fingerprinted on arrival.

How it worksWe start with your rule book and the evidence you already hold.
Four phases, built to start without touching live data-centre operations.
Look-back review
We review one completed decommissioning cycle (a closed cycle: one that has been fully collected, processed and reported on) against your contractual terms: every site, every ITAD, every serialised unit. Missing or weak evidence becomes a finding.
- Terms of sale
- Asset manifests
- Collection records
- ITAD certificates
- GPU resale approvals
- Data destruction records
- Report of findings
- Fingerprinted evidence pack
- Cleaned serialised manifest
- The gaps to close
Every ITAD on one platform
Your regional ITADs sign in and submit evidence directly. A view by facility and by ITAD, GPU resale approvals recorded per serial, and outstanding evidence chased.
Intelligence for every stakeholder
A market value benchmark to support allocation decisions, audit-ready compliance reporting, data destruction checked against NIST SP 800-88 where your terms require it, downstream buyer screening, and data structured for Digital Product Passports.
Serial-level lifecycle tracking
Every unit followed: Listed → Awarded → Collected → Data destroyed → Resold or Recycled. Anything without evidence is flagged.
Your ITADs aren't contacted in the first review.
Our approach in detailOne record. Every answer.
Data destruction, chain of custody, export controls and GPU resale, evidenced serial by serial.
How the review runsWhether reuse and resale returned what they should, and whether your price or share reflects current market value.
Market value benchmarkReuse and recycling figures that trace back to documents, counted in units, not weight.
Figures that hold up to auditOne independent record across every ITAD, with each finding tied to a clause, a document and a date.
See a sample reportA sample ITAD report of findingsEvery finding traces to a document you can check yourself.
Each check returns one of three results: passed, failed, or could not run because the evidence isn't there. Missing evidence is never a pass. It's a finding.
The four additions: serials on the reports your ITADs already send. Serials on top-up collections. One code per part. Certificates checked against their collection dates. None changes how you sell. Want them as contract wording? Ask us for the clause pack.

The report
What was checked, against which rule, what was found.
The evidence pack
Everything an auditor needs, without us in the room.
Your manifest, cleaned
One code per part, restricted items marked, same columns you use today.
Twenty-five years on the other side of the table.
Odys One is built on 25 years of designing value recovery programmes for global brands. Our founder, Alan Scroope, built and ran FreeFlow, the platform global electronics brands used to resell surplus and returned inventory. FreeFlow was acquired by Flex in 2024. We know where the evidence goes missing, because we spent years on the side of the table that produced it. Now that knowledge works for the brand, and only the brand.
Our story“You can't be the fox and the farmer.”
One record. A view for each person who has to stand over it.
Same evidence, same findings. Each reader gets the key information they need, so nobody has to translate.

How we handle your data
29 checks that show whether your hardware went where your rules said. Free to use and share.
For ITADs: show your customer what you already do well. Upload evidence the way you hold it, and correct any factual error in what we read from your files.
Information for ITADsQuestions your legal, security and audit teams will ask.
R2, e-Stewards and NAID AAA check a facility against an industry standard. They don't check whether your ITADs met your terms, on your hardware, this cycle. That's the gap we close.
You could build the tooling. What's hard to build in-house is independence. A check run by the team that owns the process is difficult to stand over when an auditor, board or regulator asks. Your team stays the hero of the report; we give them evidence they can show upward.
Not in the first review. We work only from files you already hold. If you later want your ITADs to send evidence directly, they upload it the way they hold it, and can correct any factual error in what we read before it's used.
You do. Findings go to you first, and to nobody else without your permission. If you prefer, the review can be commissioned through your legal counsel. At the end of an engagement your data is returned or deleted, and you get a deletion certificate.
We match every serial on each certificate to your collection record, then check the method, date and location against your terms. Certificates without serials, serials with no certificate, and certificates dated before collection are all findings.
Often, under conditions. Many brands require their approval before any GPU is resold. Advanced AI chips and the servers that contain them can remain subject to export controls after first use, so a resale can itself be an export. We check each resale against the approval and screening conditions in your own terms. Whether a licence is needed is a matter for you, your ITAD and your trade advisers.
No. It's a report of findings: what was checked against your rules, what was found and where the evidence sits. Your auditors can review the same record and form their own opinion.
