Devices

Your whole fleet, every brand.

Each record asks only for what exists on the device: a monitor has no memory and no CPU. On Apple, 243 models pre-fill the record; other brands are entered freely.

  • Desktop Dell OptiPlex 7090 Micro
  • Smartphone Apple iPhone 13
  • Tablet Apple iPad Air 2
  • Monitor Dell P2422H
  • Other Everything else

Locks

A locked device shows up on intake, not when the customer sends it back.

On a Mac, an iPhone or an iPad, as soon as the serial number is saved, Vist runs an automatic iCloud, MDM and lost-mode check through an external verification service. The result is dated and carried into the diagnostic. On a PC, BIOS, EFI or manufacturer locks are ticked at diagnostic.

What Vist does with each lock
What you findWhat Vist does
iCloud and MDM clear The device waits for its diagnostic; nothing blocks it.
iCloud or MDM active Review the check during diagnosis: a standard sale is blocked while the lock remains active.
Reported lost or stolen Flagged in red on the record; at diagnostic, “Not sellable, even as is”: the software refuses the sale.
BIOS, EFI or manufacturer account Ticked at diagnostic, on every brand. Status “Locked”: sellable as is.

The record

One device, one record, from purchase to margin.

Follow VST-000428, a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 bought in a batch of 5 devices.

  1. Step 1 of 7 —

    Buy

    The batch price is set device by device, or split to the cent: €1,000 over three devices, €333.34 + €333.33 + €333.33.

  2. Step 2 of 7 —

    Check

    The serial number is compared with your whole stock against double entries; on Apple, the iCloud, MDM and lost-mode check runs at once.

  3. Step 3 of 7 —

    Diagnose

    You tick from 69 coded faults, screen to BIOS, and Vist works out the device status.

  4. Step 4 of 7 —

    Repair

    The part, new or harvested from a donor, comes out of stock and adds to the device’s cost.

  5. Step 5 of 7 —

    Label

    One QR label per device: scanned with a phone, it opens the record in the browser, nothing to install.

  6. Step 6 of 7 —

    Sell

    Working, as is or untested: the warranty follows the state of the device, 24 months legal guarantee for a consumer.

  7. Step 7 of 7 —

    Measure

    Purchase, parts, sale price: the margin of every device, then the estimated net for your business status.

Team and data

Everyone sees what they need to see.

6 ready-made roles, one per member, and each member limitable to specific sites: the technician diagnoses and repairs without seeing your purchase prices or your margins.

Your data is visible to your company only, on an IONOS server in Frankfurt, in the European Union.

When the check allowance is used up, the device is still recorded. Contact us if your workshop needs more checks.

Questions

What people ask us.

How does the trial work?

You pick a plan and give a card on the secure payment page: nothing is charged for 15 days. An email sends you the link to activate your account. The trial includes 3 iCloud checks, whatever the plan. Unless you cancel before it ends, the subscription starts; you can cancel online.

Is Vist only for Apple?

No. Laptops, desktops, monitors, smartphones and tablets of every brand follow the same path: batch, diagnostic, repair, label, sale, margin. Two things are specific to Apple: the catalogue that pre-fills 243 models, and the automatic iCloud, MDM and lost-mode check, through an external verification service. Elsewhere, the model is entered freely and BIOS or manufacturer locks are found at diagnostic.

What happens when the month’s checks run out?

The device is recorded, but the automatic check does not run and its record says so. Contact us if your workshop needs more checks.

Can I get my data back if I leave?

Not yet as self-service: file export has not shipped. It is planned to take everything with you — devices, batches, customers, repairs, sales. If that is a condition for you, write to us before subscribing.

Does Vist wipe the devices’ data?

No. Vist does not wipe drives or issue erasure certificates: you keep your own tool. The record’s notes and photos keep track of what was done.

Does Vist publish my listings on marketplaces?

No, no marketplace is connected. The sale is recorded in Vist, which works out its margin; the listing goes on the platform of your choice.

What is not in Vist yet?

Invoicing your sales, SMS, a public API, file import and export, and tracking returns and after-sales. We would rather say it here than have you find out during the trial.

Trial

Try it on your own devices.

Enter a real batch, diagnose it, sell a device: you will see its margin before paying anything.

How it works

  1. Pick a plan. The card goes on the secure payment page: nothing is charged for 15 days.
  2. An email sends you the link to activate your account and set up your workshop.
  3. To stop, cancel online before the end: no charge.
