Intake gaps
Units arrive. Fields stay empty. The row is booked after the device has already moved.
ITAD & Refurbishment · Intake & risk
ITAD & Refurbishment without intake gaps.
FehrWatch automates serials, risk, and market value — between ERP and workbench.
ERP stays the system of record. The bench stays the bench. FehrWatch fills the gap at intake: serials, risk signals, market ranges.
- Intake without manual lists — rows in, not spreadsheet ping-pong
- Serial faults and risk signals at the pack table — before money leaves the table
- Market-value indicators from device data and condition — ranges, not a price guarantee
Signal only. Human approval stays mandatory. No full ERP migration.
A. The segment
ITAD and refurbishment under load
For ITAD and refurbishment teams with high volume, multiple sites, and production pressure. ERP on one side. Pack table on the other. The gap is intake.
ERP → FehrWatch → Workbench / Workflow
B. The problem
Intake gaps cost money before the pallet is open
ERP master data is built for stock, not for a scratched tag at 18 lux. The bench still runs on lists, photos, and memory.
Serial capture
Typed serials drift. Mismatched, truncated, or swapped numbers pass until a later station fails.
Damaged tags
Scratched coating, smear, low light. Camera OCR that only works on clean labels is useless here.
No market indicator
Buy or hold is decided without a range from device data and condition. The ERP SKU does not carry that.
No risk signal
Technical and commercial risk shows up after money has left the table — or after the unit is already in process.
Manual lists
Excel between warehouse and buying. Copy-paste. Version drift. No single row at the bench.
ERP master data is not enough
The ERP stays the system of record. It does not read a damaged asset tag or attach a market range to the unit on the table.
Machines don’t like excuses
Intake gaps, unreadable tags, lists that lag the pallet. The shop floor does not wait for a clean master record.
C. The solution
FehrWatch closes the gap — it does not replace either side
The Other ERP: intermediate module between ERP and workbench. Process ownership stays where it already is.
Gaps, automated
Automates the gaps — intake, serials, market indicators, lists.
Risk on the device
Technical and commercial risk signals on the device before money leaves the table. Signal — no auto-buy.
OCR for damaged tags
OCR for damaged tags — fields into the row, not into a tool maze.
Market ranges
Market-based ranges and buy guidance from device data and condition. Decision support. Not a price guarantee.
Load-bearing gear
A gearbox that holds under load — not a half-finished module.
D. Intake & risk on screen
Working view: capture, row, range
Camera on the tag. Fields in the list row. Risk and market range on the same unit — before the pallet moves on.
- Damaged tag → serial into the row
- List import instead of a side spreadsheet
- Risk signal and market band on the valuation screen
E. Technical depth
What runs at the bench
Four Working Views from intake to market indicators. Real FehrWatch screenshots.
Serial fault detection
Broken, mismatched, or unreadable serials at capture. Camera instead of retyping.
Risk indicators
Scan result into the row: model, serial, detected fields. Risk sits on the device, not in a side tool.
List import
Batches and inbound devices in one list. Status at intake — not a second spreadsheet.
Market-value bands
Ranges from device data and condition. Decision support. Not a purchase guarantee.
eBay.com overlay
Buy-aid on the listing. USD next to the DE product. Overlay, not a second ERP.
Plans
Monthly module between ERP and bench. No full migration. Camera OCR is add-on where tags fail.
F. Next step
Intake without gaps — on the bench, not in a slide deck
Open the workbench or request a walkthrough of intake and risk on real rows.
No credit card. Human approval stays mandatory. Market values are non-binding decision aids.
