Timeline understands your necessities when disposal of surplus telecom hardware equipment is required. We customise telecom assets recovery services to cater to your exact needs. With years of experience in the telecom asset recovery business, we can help you determine and leverage the value in your unwanted equipment. We remove equipment that does not meet your needs any longer, was never deployed or you are just looking to upgrade – we purchase any manufacturer of telecom gear. Our Asset Recovery solutions enable businesses to unlock the value of their redundant or end-of-life telecom hardware assets. We provide full asset tracking services and follow the environmental obligations for equipment disposal.
For the need of asset recovery we see two possibilities:

- Environmental compliance - we provide a complete service managing end-of-life products, ensuring you comply with environmental regulations, such as the European WEEE directive.
Global Spare Parts Management
Operators have long been focused on keeping costs low - but in tight economic times, cutting costs becomes even more important. A solution to take is optimising your spare part management processes. A key area for operational improvement in service delivery is management of spare parts inventory.
Timeline service businesses has developed and implemented advanced spare parts planning systems per unique customer situation that have resulted in significant reduction of inventory costs, while improving customer service levels and equipment uptimes, achieving therefore good results within months of project start.
Our goal of effective spare parts management is to have an optimised aftermarket supply chain that fulfils spare parts demand, minimizes excess inventory, dispositions waste in an eco-friendly manner, and reduces supply chain costs. The control of on-hand inventory of multivendor telecom hardware and on time delivery is a challenging task. The handling, dimensioning, warranty screening and managing tasks are complex. To respond quickly to maintenance events, Timeline uses global third-party logistics providers to warehouse and overnight-ship the correct parts to the customer when required for a maintenance event.
