Test. Inventory. Purge. All in One Software.
Ombligo's purpose-built TIPS platform gives ITAD and enterprise teams full visibility into every device, from bootable, agentless diagnostics and A–F grading to NIST 800-88 sanitization, verification, and audit-ready certificates.

Everything Your ITAD Workflow Needs
Built by Ombligo, an R2v3-certified ITAD operator, TIPS handles the full data lifecycle. No more stitching together separate tools.
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 800-88 Wiping & Verification
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 10% to full-drive per your policy.
Certificates & Audit Reporting
Every wipe and test rolls into a PDF certificate and exportable audit package assembled from drag-and-drop Custom Report templates, formatted for R2v3 and ISO 14001, with CO₂e-avoided sustainability metrics ready for ESG reporting.
See What Your Technicians See
From the bootable client on the processing floor to the cloud portal your managers live in.
Technicians authenticate with a personal PIN before touching an asset, so every test, grade, and wipe in the report traces back to a named operator, the foundation of the chain of custody.
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, 10 major releases shipped, and a build plan through 2027, quarter by quarter.
Fourteen 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.
NIST 800-88 Wiping Engine
Clear and Purge methods across NVMe, SATA, and SAS drives, wiped in parallel with live per-drive progress, block-size conversion, and SMART health screening.
Wipe Verification & Certificates
An independent verification pass confirms every wipe, and each drive receives a tamper-evident, signed PDF certificate of destruction.
12-Point Hardware Test Suite
Automated diagnostics for CPU, RAM, battery, storage, screen, keyboard, camera, microphone, speakers, USB ports, and Wi-Fi, logged pass/fail on every asset.
A–F Grading Engine
Cosmetic, functional, and total grades computed from configurable rule sets and SMART thresholds, tuned per client, applied automatically at test time.
Global Search, Custom Views & Fields
Full-text search across the entire asset history, plus per-team custom views and custom fields: query by serial, model, wipe status, or disposition outcome.
SKU Mapping & Lookup Tables
Hardware fingerprints resolve to your SKU catalog automatically, with Excel-imported lookup tables covering systems, processors, memory, disks, and network gear.
Enterprise Server Support
Complete automated testing, grading, and certified sanitization for Dell PowerEdge 13th–16th Gen, HPE ProLiant G9–G10 Plus, and Cisco UCS M4–M5, including TPM clear and iDRAC/iLO reset, plus select Supermicro models.
Workstation & Desktop Expansion
Hardware diagnostics, inventory tracking, and wipe support across desktop and laptop form factors, alongside individual drive processing and drive reformatting.
Analytics Dashboard

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.
