SAN DIEGO, Dec. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Total Technology Results, a leading reverse logistics and Internet Technology Asset Disposition (ITAD) provider, today announced it has completed the acquisition of long-time partner company Emplacement, an e-waste location software-as-a-service (SaaS) company. As a result of the acquisition, Emplacement's software will become a key offering in Total Technology's portfolio.
Emplacement software offerings act as the missing key in hardware vendors' ability to maintain relationships with their customers through the end of a technology device's lifecycle. Total Technology can now offer the ability to incentivize brand loyalty to hardware manufacturers through purchase discount and trade-in programs.
Emplacement software offerings are part of a much larger digital transformation strategy at Total Technology. "This acquisition enables us to accelerate our focus on helping service providers and succeed in the device as a service and software as a service, cloud-first economy," said Total Technology Founder and CEO, Michael Taghavi.
Internet of Things (IoT) manufacturers, like Tile (http://www.thetileapp.com), particularly see value from Emplacement software. Over 60,000 Tile users access recycling information each month. Through integrating Emplacement into their mobile app, Tile was able to remove ~$1.4M in shipping costs from their mail-in program while continuing to move their customers to sustainable end-of-life actions.
