Today’s newsletter sponsor: Refurbr
Refurbr is the operating platform for technology refurbishment, taking refurb and ITAD businesses from spreadsheets to total operational control — with inventory, buybacks, sales channels, warehousing and finance in one place.
Purpose-built for tech refurbishment, with IMEI-level tracking, marginal & reverse VAT handling and automated order syncing across all your channels, including Back Market, Refurbed, eBay and Amazon Renewed.
Circular Showcase: Refurbr
Refurbishment businesses scaling across the UK and EU are encountering a growing operational problem: inventory becomes increasingly difficult to control once stock, fulfilment and resale operations are spread across multiple countries, warehouses and marketplaces.
Our silver tier directory client Refurbr has been focused on solving this challenge for some time. Following earlier showcases covering workflow automation and marketplace infrastructure, the company has now outlined expanded operational capabilities designed specifically for refurbishers managing cross-border inventory and fulfilment operations.
The platform enables refurbishers to manage separated UK and EU stock pools, automate order routing and maintain real-time inventory visibility across multiple warehouses, marketplaces and fulfilment partners. Refurbr also supports marketplace synchronisation, warehouse management and integrated buyback workflows, helping businesses avoid the spreadsheet-heavy operational processes still common across parts of the refurbishment sector.
The timing is notable. Demand for refurbished technology continues to rise across Europe, while Right to Repair regulation and growing secondary market adoption are increasing pressure on refurbishers to scale operations efficiently. As refurbishment volumes grow, operational infrastructure is becoming an increasingly important differentiator.
If you’re evaluating how to scale refurbishment operations internationally without losing inventory control, Refurbr is a company we recommend exploring further.
