About PlanITROI and the Center of Excellence

Since 2001, PlanITROI has been a global leader in Reverse Logistics, IT Asset Disposition, Asset Recovery, Repair, Refurbishment, and Lifecycle Services for OEMs, retailers, enterprises, educational institutions, and businesses of all sizes. Today, we are building something bigger!

The world’s greatest Repair and Refurbishment organization for ITAD and Lifecycle Services.

At the heart of our mission is our Center of Excellence in Youngsville, North Carolina, where returned, retired, and idle IT assets are refurbished and transformed into high-quality, certified technology solutions that extend product lifecycles, maximize value recovery, and make technology more affordable and accessible. 

The work we do gives computers, laptops, tablets, and other devices a second life — and gives businesses, students, families, and communities greater access to the technology they need.

Our clients trust us to protect their data, recover value from their retired IT assets, meet the highest compliance standards, and support the circular economy. But our mission goes beyond processing equipment. We are building a future-ready operation powered by quality, accountability, innovation, automation, training, and people who take pride in doing meaningful work. At PlanITROI, a retired device is not the end of the story. It can become someone's opportunity.

We are looking for teammates who want to be part of building the future!
