These devices are then fully remanufactured via a 72-point quality control process which is ISO 9001 and 14001 certified, from here they enter our supply chain for sale across Southern Africa.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These devices are totally remanufactured from top to bottom and then crated for ease of transport and safe delivery to our clients.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the end of the day, we supply South African businesses with a world class, reliable product, at the fraction of the price of new. To ensure a consistent product, the whole process is quality controlled via global ISO certification standards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For further peace of mind, every device is under a full swop out warranty when signed to a Service Level Agreement.
