Patent ID: 11126960

Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for dispositioning returned assets. Embodiments determine, for each asset, the optimal disposition, prepare the asset for its final disposition, label it, and direct it to the appropriate landing bucket. Some embodiments receive an asset, connect it to a hub where it may be activated and received into a warehouse. The asset may require diagnostics to determine operational/functional and cosmetic status and/or other services to prepare it for final disposition. Data may be collected from the asset, the receiving process and a database containing information related to the asset item number and the record for the specific asset. An asset profile is created to which business rules are applied which may determine a preliminary disposition for the asset. Profiles for assets passing preliminarily dispositioning are processed through an optimal value server. The optimal value server determines the optimal disposition of an item based on demand and cost. Items are labeled for final disposition and directed to the appropriate bucket or bin for shipping.
