One platform where the others ship a stack.
The recyclable-electronics industry runs on stitched-together vendors — one for diagnostics, one for erasure, one for grading, one for reports. Orion replaces all of them. Own erasure and diagnostics engine. One signed record per device.
/ The completeness gap
Most stacks ship one piece. Orion ships the whole table.
The market is fragmented — one vendor for firmware, one for erasure, one for grading, one for reporting. Orion collapses the matrix. Every row, every device class, one platform.

Comparison reflects publicly documented capabilities across three categories of incumbent tools. Individual vendors are not named. AI cosmetic grading is coming soon.
/ Two pillars of separation
Where Orion is structurally different.
01 / Unification
The whole table, not one piece of it.
Other vendors split diagnostics, grading, erasure and reporting into separate products you integrate yourself. Orion ships them as one platform, on one pane, with one chain of custody.
02 / Mac depth
Macs done the way Apple ships them.
Firmware restore (DFU) end to end across Intel, T2 and Apple silicon. MDM and Activation Lock detection bundled, never a separate add-on. 26 hardware tests on every Mac, including Touch ID, Touch Bar and Force Touch.
Not just software. A warehouse, run.
Every other vendor ships a wipe tool and tells you to bolt on an external WMS. Orion ships the warehouse management system in the box — pallets, lanes, lots, locations, receiving, put-away, dispatch — wired directly to diagnostics, grading and erasure on the same record.
Inbound, scanned
Receive pallets and individual devices via barcode. Auto-generate lot IDs, attach origin, weight, customer.
Bin & lane assignment
Devices land in known locations. Operators see what's where; Orion knows what to grade, wipe, ship.
Floor-to-record
Diagnostic, grade and wipe certificate stitch onto the device's intake record — no manual reconciliation.
Outbound dispatch
Pick lists, packing slips, BOLs and per-device certs generated in one click. Hand to the carrier, done.
Lot economics, live
Margin, throughput, defect rate and SLA per lane in real time. The floor manager sees what's bleeding.
From single-bench to enterprise
One operator on one bench, or fifty lanes across three sites. Same OS. Same record. Same export.
/ Speed of the new stack
More units through the same floor.
/ Pricing shaped around you
Pricing shaped around your operation, not a price list.
Every plan starts with a live demo on your own devices and a pilot in your workshop. Then we build it around your volumes, device mix and sites.
Live demo
Every operation, any size

Your plan
Shaped with you after the pilot
Built around your volumes
- Shaped around your device mix and volume
- Own erasure and diagnostics engine, so no third-party licence costs passed on
- All product lines on one platform
- A direct line to our engineers
/ What you're replacing
The legacy stack vs. Orion.
- Diagnostics, erasure and grading sold as separate products you integrate yourself
- Warehouse management bolted on as a third-party WMS, with its own contract
- Price lists that ignore your device mix and your volumes
- Third-party engines whose licence costs end up on your invoice
- Activation Lock detection sold as a third-party add-on
- Mac coverage gated by manual key combos and partial Apple Silicon support
- AI grading that needs a robotics rig to hit advertised accuracy
- Interfaces last refreshed before the iPhone X — and review patterns to match
- Reporting that lives in spreadsheets, with documented false-positive risk
- One platform. Diagnostics, grading, erasure and reporting on a single pane
- Built-in warehouse OS — pallets, lanes, lots, locations, dispatch
- A plan shaped around your operation, after a live demo and a pilot
- Activation Lock and MDM detection included, never a separate add-on
- Mac firmware restore (DFU) end to end on Apple silicon and T2
- AI cosmetic grading without robotics, coming soon
- Signed report per device, verifiable outside our walls
- Modern interface designed for the warehouse floor, not the boardroom
- Own erasure and diagnostics engine, built in-house
