What We Do
ITAD, Repairs and IT Services
Three service lines that cover business IT from deployment to retirement.
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)
ITAD covers secure data wiping, scheduled pickups from your site and asset recovery for equipment leaving your fleet, with value returned through buyback or revenue share. Lease returns and data center decommissioning are included.
Explore ITADRepairs
Laptops, desktops, tablets and phones are repaired at component and board level, tested, graded and refurbished where needed. Repair programs for fleets cover depot, break-fix and out-of-warranty repair for devices in use.
Explore RepairsIT Services
Your devices are imaged as you specify, asset-tagged and kitted, then shipped to your users or sites. Equipment is warehoused until needed, and on-site services cover de-installation, relocation and office moves.

Why Shivnet
25+ Years in Business IT
Founded in 1999 in Ontario, California, Shivnet Inc. is USA based and operated. As an Authorized Microsoft Refurbisher, Shivnet reloads the PCs it refurbishes with genuine Windows.
Documented Data Wiping
Every drive is wiped by software to the NIST 800-88 method. You receive a certificate of data destruction for each device.
Every Asset Accounted For
Each asset is recorded by serial number, and the serialized audit report shows what happened to every one, with chain of custody from collection to the final report.
Repairs Down to the Board
Screens, keyboards, batteries, hinges and ports are replaced, and faults on the motherboard itself are repaired, so one failed component does not mean a new device.
Value From Retired Equipment
Equipment with resale value is tested, refurbished as needed and resold. The return reaches you through buyback, where Shivnet purchases the equipment, or revenue share, where you receive a share of the resale proceeds.
Who It Is For
Organizations That Run Device Fleets
Shivnet's services are designed for five kinds of organization.
Corporate Offices and IT Departments
For corporate IT departments, a refresh retires one fleet as another arrives, while devices in use develop faults. ITAD takes the outgoing devices, imaging and deployment handles the replacements, and repair programs cover the rest.
Schools and Colleges
For schools and colleges, laptops and tablets get heavy daily use. Repair programs take them in batches or as faults come up, and refurbishing adds RAM and SSD upgrades.
Healthcare Practices
For a practice with a small fleet of PCs, tablets and phones, retired devices go through ITAD, wiped before they are tested or resold. Faulty devices go in for repair one at a time.
Government
For a government office, the record matters as much as the work. ITAD retires equipment under chain of custody, and devices in service go in for depot repair.
Leasing Companies
For leasing companies, ITAD handles lease returns: off-lease equipment is wiped and tested, then returned to the lessor or remarketed, with the outcome shown for each asset.
Choosing a Service
Which Service Fits
The state of your equipment decides which service line applies.
| Your equipment is | Service | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Retired, off lease or coming out of a data center | ITAD | Collected on an agreed date and wiped, then resold, returned to the lessor or remarketed, with every asset reported by serial number |
| In use but faulty, worn or needing a RAM or SSD upgrade | Repairs | Sent in, repaired at component and board level or refurbished, then sent back |
| Going into use, waiting to be used or moving | IT Services | Imaged and deployed, stored with inventory, or de-installed and relocated |
A refresh pairs ITAD for the outgoing fleet with imaging and deployment for the incoming one, and a move or closure combines on-site services, warehousing and ITAD. Both are agreed by email as one scope with one set of dates.
What One Scope Settles
- Which equipment is retiring, moving or staying
- The pickup date for retiring equipment
- Whether replacements ship to users or sites
- What goes into storage until needed
- The dates for on-site work
- Which devices need repair
How It Works
A Clear Process, Start to Finish
Every engagement, from a lease return to a fleet repair, follows the same four steps.
-
1
Tell Us What You Need
Email us what equipment is involved, approximate quantities, where it is located and whether you need it retired, repaired or rolled out.
-
2
Agree the Plan
We reply by email to confirm the scope with you and agree the dates: the pickup, the on-site work or when to send devices in for repair.
-
3
We Do the Work
Wiping, imaging, storage or on-site work is carried out as agreed, and devices sent in for repair are diagnosed, fixed and retested.
-
4
Receive the Results
Repaired devices come back to you, deployed devices reach your users or sites, and ITAD jobs close with the serialized audit report and certificates of data destruction.
FAQ
Common Questions
Do you collect equipment, or do we send it to you?
Both. ITAD equipment is collected from your site on an agreed date. Devices for repair are sent in, one at a time or in batches.
Do you handle a single device as well as a whole fleet?
For repairs, yes: a single device or a whole fleet. For ITAD, email us what you are retiring and we will confirm the scope, from one scheduled pickup to a full data center decommissioning.
Which equipment goes through ITAD, and which can you repair?
It depends on whether the device is staying in service. A faulty laptop that stays in use is repaired, and the same laptop goes through ITAD once it is retired. Equipment removed in a data center decommissioning is handled by ITAD alone.
How do we know the data is gone and every asset is accounted for?
Line by line. The serialized audit report lists every asset by serial number with its outcome, so you can check it against your own record of what left the site and file each device's certificate of data destruction with that device's entry.
