Circular Showcase: PyxTech

Bringing AI-Powered Intelligence to the Circular Economy

As secondary markets continue to grow, organisations are under increasing pressure to maximise recovery values, improve operational efficiency and make faster commercial decisions.

The challenge? Many valuation, trade-in and resale decisions are still based on historical data, spreadsheets and manual processes.

Founded in 2018, Circular Connect Gold Member PyxTech set out to bring greater transparency and intelligence to the secondary asset market.

The company has developed an AI-powered platform that combines real-time Fair Market Value (FMV) intelligence with workflow automation, enabling manufacturers, ITAD providers, lessors, resellers and other circular economy businesses to make more informed decisions throughout the asset lifecycle.

Operating from offices in Austin, Toronto and Pune, PyxTech supports customers across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Supporting the Circular Asset Lifecycle

Since launching, PyxTech has evolved from a pricing intelligence solution into an integrated platform supporting organisations throughout the secondary asset journey.

Its latest product, PyxARM, represents the next step in that evolution, combining AI-powered workflow automation with real-time Fair Market Value intelligence to connect asset acquisition, routing and monetisation within a single system.

Alongside PyxARM, the company’s portfolio includes:

👉 PyxFMV: real-time Fair Market Value intelligence with configuration-level pricing.
👉 PyxQuote: bid and quote management backed by live market data.
👉 PyxTrade: a white-label trade-in platform for OEMs and enterprise programmes.
👉 rFMV: residual value forecasting for lessors and financial institutions.

Built Around Real-World Challenges

Every organisation operating within the circular economy faces the same challenge of making the right decision at the right time.

Manufacturers can strengthen trade-in programmes, ITAD providers can optimise acquisition and resale decisions, resellers gain greater visibility over inventory performance, while lessors can better forecast residual values and reduce financial risk.

By bringing live market intelligence together with operational workflows, PyxTech helps organisations respond more quickly to changing market conditions while improving consistency across the circular asset lifecycle.

Looking Ahead

PyxTech is expanding its AI capabilities beyond pricing intelligence. The roadmap includes AI-powered recommendations, deeper ERP integrations, ESG reporting capabilities and expansion into additional circular product categories.

The long-term ambition is to create a unified platform that helps organisations manage secondary assets more efficiently, regardless of product type or geography.

As CEO Pulin Kumar explains:

“Our vision is simple: if you are making a decision in the circular economy, you should never have to guess or work something manually. A human in the loop should only monitor and add to existing intelligence. PyxTech makes this a reality.”
