Everything Your ITAD Workflow Needs
Built by Ombligo, an R2v3-certified ITAD operator, TIPS handles the full data lifecycle. No more manual entries. Run complete diagnostics/parts' information report for servers instantly. We provide access to all the data, you decide how you want to use it.
Eliminate Manual Entries
Automate Grading
Customize Testing Thresholds
Implement in Under an Hour
Test
Know exactly what you have and what it's worth.
12-Point Hardware Test Suite
Automated diagnostics across CPU, RAM, battery, storage, screen, keyboard, camera, microphone, speakers, USB ports, and Wi-Fi. Every check logged with pass/fail results.
A–F Grading & SMART Thresholds
Cosmetic, functional, and total grades computed from your own configurable rules and SMART drive thresholds. Pricing and routing decisions happen the moment testing finishes.
Inventory
One serialized record for every asset, at every location.
Serialized Asset Records
Hardware discovery captures every component: system, processors, memory, disks, network, serial by serial. Search the full history by serial number, model, wipe status, or disposition outcome.
Multi-Site, White-Label Accounts
Run dozens of processing locations under one roof with role-based access control, per-site branding, custom fields, and custom views. Technicians see exactly what they need and nothing more.
Purge
Destroy the data. Keep the proof.
NIST + IEEE Compliant Wiping
Execute NIST 800-88 Clear and Purge across NVMe, SATA, and SAS drives in parallel. Prove it with an independent verification pass on every wipe, sampling from any percentage you set. Define different percentages for different processes or clients.
Serialized Certificates & Reporting
Customize your own reports, export them into PDF or CSV formats, run reports for single assets, projects, or clients. All reports available in standard R2-v3 and ISO standards.
See What Your Technicians See
From the bootable client on the processing floor to the cloud portal your managers live in.
A walkthrough of the TIPS client end to end: operator sign-in, hardware diagnostics, drive erasure, and the report landing in the cloud portal.
How It Works
A structured four-stage workflow that turns chaotic IT disposals into clean, documented, audit-ready processes.
Boot & Discover
Boot any laptop, desktop, or server from TIPS media, USB, or PXE network boot across an entire rack at once. Hardware discovery serializes every component automatically: no OS, no agent install, no manual data entry.
Test & Grade
The automated test suite exercises twelve hardware subsystems while SMART thresholds screen every drive. Results roll into cosmetic, functional, and total A–F grades.
Wipe & Verify
NIST 800-88 Clear or Purge runs across all drives in parallel, with TPM clear and iDRAC/iLO reset for servers, followed by an independent verification pass.
Upload & Certify
Encrypted results upload to your searchable inventory the moment work completes. Certificates of destruction and full audit packages export as signed PDFs.
Runs Where Your Security Policy Lives
Most teams run TIPS in the cloud. Teams that can't (secure facilities, isolated processing floors) run the exact same platform completely offline.
PXE Fleet Booting
The ISO Server boots entire racks over the network, no USB sticks. Build custom ISOs per team: language, keyboard layout, timezone, workflow steps, and required custom fields.
Encrypted USB
Use the TIPS ISO tool to create encrypted USB sticks for offline use. All results are stored and encrypted locally and can be uploaded to the TIPS cloud later.
Air-Gapped “Blackbox”
The full platform delivered on-prem: a Blackbox server hosts management portals and encrypted report storage on its own isolated network. Internet never required after deployment, built for high-security and government environments.
Where TIPS Is Headed
Fourteen years of operational tooling, 1 major releases shipped, and a build plan through 2027, quarter by quarter.
Sixteen Years of Internal Tooling & Expertise
Before TIPS was a product, it was the workbench software running Ombligo's own R2v3-certified ITAD floor, iterated by the technicians who processed millions of pounds of equipment at Brooklyn Army Terminal. Every wipe method, grading rule, and inventory workflow below was proven in production long before it shipped to clients.
TIPS Platform Launch
The bootable TIPS client and cloud inventory go live: agentless hardware discovery, serialized asset records, and encrypted report upload from any machine.
Full Supermicro Support
Server coverage expands from select Supermicro models to the full line: automated testing, grading, and certified sanitization.
Environmental Impact Reports
CO₂e-avoided and sustainability metrics generated from your processing data, packaged for ESG reporting and client audits.
ERP Integration: Select Systems
Connectors for select ERP and asset-management platforms.
Dell 17th Gen & HPE G11–G12
Latest-generation Dell PowerEdge and HPE ProLiant lines join the fully supported server matrix, with the same test, grade, and wipe coverage.
Imaging & Deployment
Deploy OS images to tested machines directly from TIPS: wipe, verify, and reimage in a single documented workflow.
Firmware Updates
Apply vendor firmware updates during processing, with before-and-after versions recorded in the asset report.
Cisco M6–M7 & Quanta Servers
Cisco UCS M6–M7 support goes live alongside the first select Quanta models, with full Quanta coverage landing Q4 2027.
Apple Product Support
Support for Apple hardware including M-series chips: automated diagnostics, Activation Lock detection, and certified erasure via Apple-compliant wipe methods.
Chromebooks & Tablets
Structured intake, testing, and certified data erasure for ChromeOS devices and tablet form factors.
Mobile Devices
Inventory and sanitize iOS and Android devices with carrier unlock detection, MDM enrollment status checks, and device-level wipe certificates.
Remote Wiping via Cloud Portal
Trigger and monitor certified wipes remotely from the TIPS cloud portal, no technician at the machine required.
Organizational Hardware Discovery
Discover and inventory hardware across an entire organization's network, feeding serialized records into TIPS before assets ever reach the floor.
