PRODIG, a comprehensive reuse company for used mobile devices, addresses these concerns by thoroughly pursuing "peace of mind, value, and practicality."

This article will provide a professional and comprehensive explanation of everything PRODIG offers, from the basic question of "What is PRODIG?" to its unique 180-day long-term warranty and the mechanisms that enable high-price purchases.

Corporate Philosophy: Connecting the Potential of Reuse to the Future (Contribution to SDGs)

The driving force behind PRODIG's business is a strong mission to "transform the potential of reuse into added value and connect it to the future."

As digital technology evolves and DX (Digital Transformation) accelerates, the importance of mobile devices is growing. Concurrently, the role of reuse is expanding in achieving a decarbonized society and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

PRODIG thoroughly maintains and redistributes used devices, thereby reducing environmental impact and contributing to a digital society.

Strengths of the PRODIG Online Store [For Purchase]: 180-Day Long-Term Warranty Backing Reliability

To dispel the image that "used items break easily," PRODIG sets stricter standards than general industry guidelines and implements thorough quality control.

The biggest advantage of buying a used device from PRODIG is its "180-day long-term warranty," which is exceptional in the industry.

 

Industry-Leading! Thorough Functional Inspection of Over 30 Items

All products handled by PRODIG clear an internal system inspection and functional check of over 30 items before being sold.

Inspection Item Example Details
Security/Data Erasure Thorough erasure of previous user information using high-quality dedicated software, security flaw checks
Basic Functions Power ON/OFF, charging status, SIM recognition, Wi-Fi connection check
Operation System Touch panel/LCD quality, button response (home button, etc.)
Sound/Camera Speaker, microphone, camera, flash quality check

Only devices that clear these rigorous inspections are sold, so even those new to buying refurbished mobile devices can use them with peace of mind.

 

180-Day Long-Term Warranty and Network Usage Restriction Guarantee

To ensure peace of mind after purchase, PRODIG offers a long-term warranty of 180 days from the shipping date.

  • 180-Day Warranty Coverage:

    • Functional defects such as power not turning on or not charging

    • Operational defects such as SIM recognition failure or unresponsive touch/swipe

    • Failures not caused by negligence or accidents

  • Permanent Guarantee for Network Usage Restrictions:

    • In the unlikely event that a device becomes unusable due to network usage restrictions, we will promptly provide a full refund, except in special cases.

[Please Note] Problems due to battery or LCD deterioration over time, customer-side repairs/modifications, and damage due to water immersion/accidents are not covered by the warranty.

 

Reliable Quality Ranking System (S, A, B, C Ranks)

To meet customer needs, we have established our own quality ranks based on the degree of external damage.

Rank Appearance Guide Functionality

S Rank (New/Unused)

No scratches or dirt at all, in factory-new condition. All functions: Usable without issues
A Rank (Like New) LCD and exterior casing have almost no scratches, in very clean condition. All functions: Usable without issues
B Rank (No noticeable scratches) Minor scuffs or inconspicuous hairline scratches, generally in clean condition. All functions: Usable without issues
C Rank (Minor scratches) Has significant drop marks or noticeable scratches, but no cracks or breaks. All functions: Usable without issues

We only sell products where all functions are usable without issues, regardless of rank, meeting the needs of those who "want to buy cheaply even if there are some scratches."

 

Extensive Inventory Lineup and Sourcing Capability

PRODIG is always actively procuring, so it has an abundant inventory.

We especially stock a wide range of popular models such as used iPhone SE series and used iPad series. Even if a particular item is out of stock, we have the flexibility to search for a device that meets your needs if you contact us.

Strengths of PRODIG Purchase [For Sale]: One-Stop System for the Highest Purchase Price

For those considering selling their unwanted smartphone or tablet, PRODIG's purchase service is the best option to achieve both "high-price purchase" and "secure data erasure."

 

[Reason for High Purchase Price] One-Stop System for In-House End-to-End Purchasing and Sales

The reason PRODIG can offer high purchase prices is its "one-stop system."

By handling everything from customer purchase, device maintenance and refurbishment, to sales in the online store entirely in-house, we thoroughly reduce costs such as intermediate margins. The saved costs are then maximized and returned to the purchase price.

We can flexibly accommodate everything from an individual customer's single device to the IT asset management of thousands of devices for corporate clients.

 

Complete Data Erasure Using Internationally Reliable Professional Tools

The risk of information leakage is one of the biggest concerns when selling smartphones and tablets.

PRODIG uses internationally reliable professional tools to completely erase data from your IT assets.

  • Thorough erasure with zero risk of information leakage

  • Upon request, we can issue a "Data Erasure Report" or "Destruction Certificate"

We engage in SDGs-focused initiatives to responsibly dispose of devices and facilitate their reuse and recycling.
