The business challenge

Most of the fleet you’ve written offstill has years left in it.

01
Working
02
Slow
03
Non-Functional
04
Considered End-of-Life

Only the last is truly finished — and far fewer devices belong there than are considered end-of-life. Many can be restored, upgraded, recertified and put back to work.

What IT teams are up against

Rising device replacement costs
An ageing laptop and desktop fleet
Performance that degrades year on year
Frequent hardware failures
Little visibility into asset health
Pressure to run IT more sustainably

What ReLife returns

Extended asset lifecycle
Lower replacement spend
Better asset utilisation
Less e-waste
More sustainable IT operations
Faster turnaround than procurement

Asset selection & data wiping

Select the right assets. Protect the right data.

Every ReLife project starts on your site. MAVS engineers inspect the fleet with you, judge each device on its condition and recoverability, and agree which assets are worth restoring. Nothing is touched until you approve the pool — and customer data is removed before any restoration begins.

On-site physical inspection

Camera and port function
Asset configuration
Physical damage indicators

Data wiping, once you approve

Customer data removed from every selected asset
Secure wiping procedures where required
Storage media retained by you, on request
Destruction certificates for approved disposal projects

Data destruction, by media

HDD: Secure wipe · Degaussing · Physical destruction
SSD / NVMe: Secure erase · Cryptographic erase · Physical destruction

Health assessment & diagnostics

Diagnose before you decide.

Every device then goes through a full diagnostic assessment and receives an individual health score. That score, not the asset's age, decides what happens next — whether it can be recovered as it stands, needs an upgrade or a component, or is better used to supply parts for the rest of the fleet.

What is assessed

Motherboard condition
RAM, SSD and HDD health
Battery health and display condition
Thermal performance
Port function and BIOS validation
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
CPU and GPU stress, and burn-in

What you receive for every device

Asset condition report
Component health report
Recovery recommendation

Restoration & recovery

Rework, upgrade, recover.

Eligible assets are restored using approved recovery, repair and upgrade processes — from a memory and SSD upgrade that makes a slow machine current again, to component-level motherboard repair.

Upgrade

SSD upgrades
RAM upgrades
Thermal optimisation and internal cleaning

Rework and repair

Display, battery and keyboard replacement
Motherboard repair
Component replacement
Hinge evaluation and durability testing

Certification & redeployment

Enterprise ready. Performance verified.

Only validated assets are approved to go back into service. Every restored device is tested again end to end, graded, and returned with the documentation to prove it.

Every restored asset is tested for

Function and performance
Thermal behaviour and cooling
Ports and connectivity
Burn-in and long-run stability
BIOS integrity

Delivered with

Quality verification
Functional certification
Redeployment approval

AMC coverage, up to

months of AMC, with spare parts covered.

AMC support

Support that continues after redeployment.

ReLife does not end when a device goes back on a desk. A comprehensive annual maintenance contract keeps recovered assets supported, with spare parts covered, for up to two years.

Responsible recycling

Retired responsibly, with the records to show it.

Assets that cannot be economically recovered are retired through secure, compliant and environmentally responsible disposal — processed through authorised recycling channels, with the paperwork your compliance team needs.

E-waste management

Processing through authorised recycling channels
E-waste compliance support
Responsible material recovery
Reduced environmental impact

EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) certificate
Asset disposal records
Recycling documentation

Asset grading

Every assetgets a grade.

Graded on physical condition at selection and on health after diagnostics. The grade — not the purchase date — decides what happens next.

Asset ReLife grades, from A+ to C
Grade	Physical condition	Health & outcome
A+	Excellent physical condition	Best condition — ready for reuse
A	Good, with minor scratches	Good — suitable for reuse
B+	Moderate wear, suitable for rework	Usable, with considerations
B	Higher wear, needs further evaluation	Weak — replacement recommended
C	Dead condition	Failed — routed to parts or recycling

The comparison

Why replacewhen you can ReLife?

Buying new compared with Asset ReLife
	Buying new	Asset ReLife
Cost	Full capital outlay for every seat	Up to 90% lower than buying new*
Time to service	A full procurement cycle	Restored devices back in service sooner
Lifecycle	Working hardware retired early	2+ years added to each recovered asset
E-waste	Retired devices leave the business as waste	Recovered where viable, recycled with records where not

* Actual savings depend on asset condition, recoverability and project scope.

The business impact

Questions

Before youget in touch.

What is MAVS Asset ReLife?

MAVS Asset ReLife is an engineering-led service that extends the life of an organisation's existing laptops and desktops. MAVS diagnoses each device, restores and upgrades the ones worth recovering, recertifies them for enterprise use and returns them to service — and retires the rest responsibly.

How much can Asset ReLife save compared with buying new?

Asset ReLife can cost up to 90% less than replacing a device with new hardware. The actual saving depends on each asset's condition, how recoverable it is and the scope of the project, which is why every engagement starts with an on-site assessment rather than a fixed rate.

Does Asset ReLife only work on MAVS hardware?

No. Asset ReLife is designed for the laptops and desktops an organisation already owns, so the assessment covers the fleet you have in service today rather than only MAVS machines. Whether a given model is worth restoring is decided by its diagnostic results.

What happens to the data on our devices?

Customer data is removed from every selected asset before restoration begins, and only after you approve the asset pool. Hard drives can be securely wiped, degaussed or physically destroyed; SSD and NVMe drives can be securely erased, cryptographically erased or physically destroyed. Storage media can be retained by you on request, and destruction certificates are available for approved disposal projects.

How are devices graded?

Every device receives a grade from A+ to C. A+ and A devices are in good to excellent condition and ready for reuse; B+ devices are usable with some rework; B devices have higher wear and are usually better replaced; C devices have failed and are routed to parts recovery or recycling.

What happens to devices that cannot be restored?

Devices that cannot be economically recovered are retired through authorised recycling channels. MAVS provides the asset disposal records, recycling documentation and EPR certificate your compliance team needs.

Is support available after redeployment?

Yes. Recovered assets can be covered by a comprehensive annual maintenance contract with spare parts for up to two years, including technical support, fault diagnosis, eligible hardware replacement and service reporting.
