Tech-focused employee benefits from MobileAdvantage

MobileAdvantage is a division of Recommerce Ltd focused on the supply of technology through voluntary and flexible employee benefit schemes. The company operates a platform that lets organisations offer staff savings on new or refurbished devices and the option to recycle unwanted equipment. Its stated aim is to combine employee benefits with environmental sustainability and support for remote and hybrid working.

How the benefit schemes work

The platform is designed to give employees access to technology without the employer bearing the entire cost. Employees can save up to 60% on a range of new or refurbished devices through one of the schemes. Employers can offer the benefit to support the productivity of remote workers, while the scheme is presented as cash neutral when employees pay via salary over 12 or 24 months through the finance option. MobileAdvantage states that it does not charge for the platform and manages all scheme administration from start to finish.

Devices, brands and networks

The company works with leading manufacturers including Apple, Samsung and Google, and offers SIM-only airtime from O2, Vodafone, EE and 3. Its catalogue covers new, refurbished or re-made phones, tablets and computers, with options intended to suit different requirements and budgets. A co-branded online portal is provided free of charge, and a software platform manages payroll deductions.

Recycling, trade-in and carbon reporting

MobileAdvantage offers a trade-in or recycle option for unwanted devices. Equipment is repaired or refurbished and re-marketed, which the company says reduces the number of new devices produced and the mining of precious metals needed for manufacturing. The process generates a report detailing the quantity, device type and CO2 benefit that employers achieve by offering the scheme.

Recommerce divisions and processing standards

Behind the benefit schemes, Recommerce Ltd operates five divisions: WEEE recycling with rebates on IT equipment of value; IT lifecycle management covering certified asset refurbishment, imaging and deployment; mobile phone recycling for corporate smartphones and tablets; secure data destruction through data erasure and destruction; and data centre decommissioning and relocation services. These processes take place at an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility monitored by CCTV 24/7, 365 days a year. The company states that it is certified to ISO9001, 27001 and 14001, and that its technicians follow security, environmental and quality standards for recycling and reuse.

Experience and team

MobileAdvantage says its team has over 30 years of experience in the IT, telecoms and employee benefit sectors, and that it has spent years supplying new and refurbished devices and carrying out repairs. The company also runs webinars for organisations considering a cost-effective alternative to providing corporate devices.
