Automating Device Functional Testing Operations with
Software and Robotics
The key to the growing adoption of FutureDial solutions by
operators is due to the technology that enables mobile device
processing companies to automate and streamline their laborintensive operations through a single-touch SMART Processing
Platform™ without the need for additional line operators orwarehouse footage.
“We’re excited to have surpassed over 170 million devices
processed”, notes Darren Madonick, FutureDial Director ofCustomer Success. “Our SMART Processing Platform™ for

Strong Market IndicatorsMobile device reverse logistics operators andwireless carriers are challenged to keep up with thetens of millions of mobile devices which are tradedin or returned each year to carriers or recyclers for
upgrades and cash. FutureDial works closely with its
customers to help scale their processing operations
without the need for excessive labor or costly
warehouse space.
“The lease-return and trade-in mobile device
markets has seen steady growth the past several
years as the industry moves away from subsidized
smart phone purchases and towards leasing andmonthly installment programs,” says Stephen Manning, Chief Commercial Officer for FutureDial. “Although weare seeing a leveling in the U.S. as the market saturates, the volumes are impressive from a global perspective
and we expect 2020 to continue to echo this trend.”
FutureDial forecasts an increase in the trade-in trends. The company’s transactional tracking records showthat 60% of the trade-in volume enters the reverse supply chain during the fourth quarter of each year.
Adding that to the leasing return cycles that are beginning to enter their 2-year anniversaries this year,
underscores the fact that providers will need to handle larger volumes of pre-owned devices every year.
