It is designed for telecom operators, OEMs and retailers that need a scalable, white-labeled infrastructure to manage device trade-in across both online and in-store channels.

The plug-and-play solution can be integrated into companies' current systems and covers the entire value chain, from customer journey and dynamic pricing to logistics orchestration, device grading, financial settlement and downstream distribution.

💡 By centralizing these operations in one unified platform, Dipli360 helps tech businesses reduce operational complexity while delivering a smoother trade-in experience to their customers.

2. How Dipli360 improves trade-in performance

Dipli360 is built to help businesses move beyond a basic buyback service and turn trade-in into a measurable performance lever by:

• Connecting businesses with a network of top refurbishers, creating a more competitive and reliable supply chain for refurbished electronics,
• Combining technology, logistics, pricing and distribution capabilities, enabling trade-in programs that are faster, safer and more competitive.

For companies managing thousands of monthly trade-in transactions, the platform helps standardize processes, automate key steps and secure the flow of devices trade-in. In fact, Dipli360 infrastructure is designed to:

• Maximize attach rates,
• Improve residual value capture,
• Protect margins.

💡 In the end, Dipli360 supports tech professionals that want to strengthen customer loyalty, increase device renewal frequency and develop a more structured circular electronics strategy.

DipliForward: a guaranteed future trade-in value solution to structure the supply pipeline

1. What is DipliForward?

DipliForward is Dipli’s residual value commitment mechanism for businesses that want to guarantee a future trade-in value at the moment of purchase.
Instead of waiting until the end of a device’s life cycle to estimate its resale value, DipliForward allows companies to define a guaranteed buyback value upfront.

This approach removes friction from upgrade cycles, since it gives customers greater confidence when purchasing a new device because they already know the value they can recover during their next upgrade.

💡 By securing a pipeline of pre-committed devices, businesses can also improve their access to future refurbished supply and strengthen their circular economy model.

2. Why DipliForward turns trade-in into a business growth lever

DipliForward solution encourages customers to return their devices through a controlled trade-in program. The key advantages are undeniable:

• It reduces customer churn by accelerating purchase decisions,
• It drives immediate revenue,
• It structures predictable renewal journeys and increase their frequency,
• It feeds a controlled refurbished supply chain downstream, thus support future refurbished device sales.

At scale, DipliForward helps align financial performance with circular electronics goals by connecting device sales, customer loyalty and refurbished product supply.

💡 In the end, DipliForward reframes trade-in as a commercial mechanism. It transforms trade-in into a strategic retention tool that supports repurchase, refurbished stocks and long-term customer engagement.

DipliGrading: the AI-powered device grading to protect trade-in value and margins

1. What is DipliGrading?

DipliGrading is Dipli’s proprietary AI-powered computer vision solution for automated device condition assessment.

It is designed to standardize one of the most critical steps in trade-in economics: the grading of smartphones and electronic devices. In traditional trade-in operations, manual grading can create inconsistencies, counter-offers, disputes and customer dissatisfaction.

💡 DipliGrading replaces subjective assessment with a faster, more consistent and scalable process based on machine precision.

2. How DipliGrading transforms grading accuracy into a margin lever

In large-scale trade-in programs, grading accuracy directly impacts residual value, operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

With machine precision, DipliGrading helps telecom operators, OEMs and retailers standardize grading operations at scale. It delivers:

• More consistent grading outputs across all devices, since every device is assessed against the same benchmark, at speed, and at scale,
• A reduced processing time,
• A lower contact rate,
• A higher counter-offer acceptance.
• More reliable data for logistics and financial teams to rely on.

💡 For high-volume trade-in programs, grading is not just a quality-control step. It is a strategic lever for profitability, scalability and refurbished supply chain performance.

Device renewal is a key moment for customer loyalty, retention and circular electronics.
Whether you want to launch a trade-in program from scratch or boost an existing one, Dipli combines advanced technology, white-label infrastructure, guaranteed residual value mechanisms and AI-powered grading to support the full trade-in supply chain.
