The old way of sourcing IT gear – buying expensive, brand-new units – is no longer the only option. With the launch of Qrent\u2019s new Reseller Program in Zimbabwe, Zambia, and South Africa, resellers finally have a cost-effective, more sustainable alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through Qrent’s Reseller Program, as an IT reseller, you will gain access to certified, top-tier refurbished laptops at prices up to 50% below new units – and enjoy margins that could reshape your bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Qrent Managing Executive Kwirirai Rukowo, through this program, resellers will tap into Qrent\u2019s expansive inventory of fully refurbished, high-performance IT equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These devices are backed by Qrent\u2019s over-20-year history in IT leasing and refurbishment, and undergo\u00a0Circular Computing\u2019s\u00a0rigorous 360-step remanufacturing process, earning BSI Kitemark certification and posting RMA rates under 3%. That translates into devices that not only look and perform ‘as new\u2019 but also carry reliable warranties – a powerful selling point for your clients,” he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selling refurbished gear at up to 50% less than new-equipment prices opens a lucrative opportunity for resellers to offer real cost savings to their clients – a compelling narrative that resonates in both public and private sectors. Moreover, the growing demand for ESG-aligned procurement is putting pressure on businesses to reduce e-waste and carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qrent devices are not only built for performance \u2013 they are also environmentally impactful. Every sale helps organisations enter the circular economy, cutting landfill contributions, raw-material usage, and CO\u2082 emissions – while delivering a product that matches new in quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rukowo stresses that Qrent isn\u2019t a newcomer – it\u2019s the IT remarketing arm of\u00a0InnoVent, operational since 2003, and with established offices in seven countries, which include South Africa, UK, Kenya, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the United Arab Emirates and five satellite offices in Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The recent partnership with UK\u2019s Circular Computing gives resellers exclusive access to globally certified refurbished devices – ones that boast carbon neutrality backed by formal measurements. That partnership puts resellers at the cutting edge of sustainable, enterprise-grade tech distribution in Africa,” he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resellers will benefit from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022         Premium-quality inventory: A steady supply of refurbished equipment that perform like new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022         Warranty-backed products: Devices come with service guarantees and low failure rates (under 3% RMA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022         Genuine software licensing: OEM clean installs with Windows 11 included – removing costly software barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022         Sustainability perks: Devices include certified carbon-neutral credentials, environmental-impact stats, and ESG compliance documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe program is designed for IT resellers aiming to diversify product portfolios, increase margins, and deliver market-leading sustainable solutions. Whether you are serving SMEs, government clients, public institutions, or corporate markets, Qrent\u2019s offering distinguishes you as a forward-thinking, ESG-focused provider,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big\u2011tech OEMs have designed a system built on endless replacement cycles, eroding reseller margins and accelerating e\u2011waste. Qrent\u2019s Reseller Program offers a smarter alternative: premium refurbished IT that delivers serious savings, boosts margins, and advances environmental goals by keeping hardware in circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to move beyond the old model and adopt a more profitable, sustainable path. For more information, email resellers@qrent.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
