Trade In / Buy In

Turn repairs into revenue by converting customer items into sellable stock.

Do you value and purchase customer items? Or sometimes a customer decides a repair isn’t worth it and they’d rather just sell you the device instead. With Repair Pilot’s Trade-In / Buy-In feature, you can instantly convert that customer item into stock, ready for resale or listing on your eCommerce platform.

It’s fast, clean, and fully integrated into your workflow.
