Mobile Klinik and Apkudo partner to raise the standard for reliability, sustainability and quality in device repair and refurbishment in Canada

With Apkudo's groundbreaking technology, Mobile Klinik will now offer Canadians faster, more transparent and data-driven device repairs and refurbishment

TORONTO and BALTIMORE, Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Mobile Klinik and Apkudo announced a trailblazing collaboration, making Mobile Klinik the first major Canadian retailer to integrate Apkudo's cutting-edge Circular Industry Platform, which will transform its device repair and refurbishment processes. Apkudo's automation technology will allow Mobile Klinik to streamline device testing and grading, reduce operational risks, scale operations, and ensure that every refurbished certified pre-owned device meets the company's rigorous standards. This means customers will now benefit from greater transparency around the lifecycle of their devices, along with a wider selection of certified pre-owned options available at Mobile Klinik and TELUS store locations nationwide.

"Canadians are looking for trustworthy device and repair options that are not only reliable but better for the planet and their wallets. These shifts in consumer expectations meant it was time for us to evolve our service offerings to better put our customers first and become the premier lifecycle destination for device care and resale in North America," said Dan Quick, President of Mobile Klinik. "By partnering with Apkudo as their first and only Canadian retailer, customers have access to a large network of certified pre-owned devices and reliable device repair solutions that take the guesswork out of our refurbishment process. Together, we will give customers peace of mind, knowing they're making smart, worry-free choices for all of their device needs."

With Apkudo's automation technology, customers will benefit from an added layer of confidence, knowing that every certified pre-owned device has been thoroughly tested – from functionality to connectivity – and optimized for performance and the highest quality as part of Mobile Klinik's new and improved process.

"This partnership is a prime example of the changes the connected device industry needs," said Josh Matthews, Apkudo CEO and Co-Founder. "Mobile Klinik is motivated to deliver trusted experiences, and we are excited they chose Apkudo's platform-powered robotics to capture the data needed to achieve this customer promise. Doing good for the planet is embedded in Apkudo's platform strategy and the change we continue to prioritize for our customers."
