ATI Shields National Title Insurance Company from 2026 Hardware Price Surge

Customer Profile:

A national title insurance company with operations spanning multiple U.S. states, managing large-scale device fleets across branch offices throughout the U.S.

Solution:

ATI lobbied HP directly to reverse a 2026 price increase, restoring pre-surge device pricing and negotiating the inclusion of a 3-year warranty upgrade at the original price point.

Outcome:

Challenge

In 2026, the national title insurance company encountered an unexpected pricing shift from HP: devices that had previously been procured at $1,500 — without a warranty — were now being quoted at $2,200, still without warranty coverage. For a company refreshing hardware across dozens of branch offices in multiple states, this $700-per-unit increase represented a significant and unbudgeted expense.

With no flexibility built into the IT budget to absorb the surge, the client faced a difficult choice: reduce the number of devices in the refresh cycle, defer planned upgrades, or pull funds from other initiatives. None of these options were acceptable. They needed a procurement partner who could do what their internal team could not: go directly to the source and push back on their behalf.

Solution

ATI engaged HP’s channel and commercial teams directly, presenting the client’s purchase history, device volume, and multi-state footprint as the basis for a pricing exception. Rather than accepting the new market rate as fixed, ATI advocated for the reinstatement of the client’s pre-surge pricing — and went a step further.

Through the negotiation, ATI secured not only the original $1,500 price point but also the inclusion of a 3-year warranty upgrade at no additional cost. The client was now receiving more coverage than they had under their previous procurement arrangement — at the same price they had previously paid. The agreement was formalized and applied to the full scope of the planned device refresh.

Outcome

The client’s IT budget remained intact. Every device in the refresh cycle was procured at $1,500 — the same rate as before the 2026 price surge — and each unit now came with a 3-year warranty that had not previously been part of the package. In effect, ATI delivered the same spend with greater protection and longer asset coverage.

With acquisition costs controlled and warranty coverage improved, the client was able to proceed with their full refresh plan on schedule and redirect surplus budget toward higher-value initiatives, reinforcing ATI’s role as a strategic procurement partner, not just a hardware vendor.

ATI helps leading national ITAD recover over $500K from unsellable assets.

Customer Profile: 

A large National ITAD provider with over 10 facilities. 

Solution: 

ATI generates over $500k in revenue for ITAD. 

Outcome: 

Challenge 

A nationally recognized IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) provider operating over 10 processing facilities across the U.S. faced a common but costly challenge: large volumes of unsellable or low-value equipment scheduled for recycling. Despite strong upstream partnerships and steady asset inflows, the company lacked effective downstream resale channels for borderline or nonconforming inventory — including off-lease systems, mixed-condition lots, and components deemed unmarketable. These assets, while marked for scrap, still held latent value that traditional recyclers and brokers were unable to unlock. Without a more strategic outlet, the ITAD risked losing hundreds of thousands in potential recovery each quarter. 

Solution 

Advanced Technologies International (ATI) engaged directly with the ITAD’s operations and remarketing teams to perform a deep value analysis of all assets slated for recycling. Leveraging its specialized secondary-market expertise, ATI identified resale opportunities across global and domestic markets for items previously categorized as non-recoverable. 

Through a structured buyout and redistribution program, ATI provided competitive purchase offers and facilitated all downstream logistics — including freight coordination, asset handling, and compliance documentation. The collaboration not only generated immediate cash flow but also established a sustainable secondary outlet for future inventory that would otherwise have been scrapped. 

Outcome 

The partnership resulted in over $500,000 in recovered value from assets initially designated for recycling. This revenue was redirected into new capital projects within the ITAD’s operational roadmap, improving liquidity and enabling further investment in automation and facility upgrades. 

By creating a sustainable downstream network, ATI transformed the ITAD’s end-of-line disposal process into a profitable recovery channel — proving that even “unsellable” equipment can drive measurable returns when handled strategically. The success of this engagement reinforced ATI’s position as a trusted partner within the ITAD industry, helping peers uncover hidden value and drive circular economy impact at scale. 

“We helped one of the biggest ITADs in the country recover over $500,000 from gear they had already written off. What most saw as scrap, we turned into serious value.” – Andres Garzon, Director of Purchasing 

ATI helps national travel company recover $175K from decommissioned IT assets. 

Customer Profile: 

A large national travel provider with over 10,000 employees. 

Solution: 

ATI provides equipment audit services and competitive purchasing prices. 

Outcome: 

Challenge 

A leading national travel company employing more than 10,000 people faced a major infrastructure refresh across its corporate offices and regional branches. The decommissioning of hundreds of laptops, desktops, servers, and networking devices created a significant volume of retired IT assets—many of which still held residual market value. However, the client lacked an efficient recovery plan, audit process, and resale channel to extract that value responsibly. Without the right partner, the company risked sending viable assets to waste streams, missing out on potential financial recovery, and losing track of serialized equipment during disposal. 

Solution 

Advanced Technologies International (ATI) stepped in to deliver a comprehensive IT asset recovery and audit program tailored to the client’s multi-site operations. ATI’s technical team conducted a full asset audit—capturing serial numbers, specifications, and condition grades—to ensure accurate valuation of every piece of equipment. Leveraging its extensive secondary market network and OEM partnerships, ATI offered competitive purchase pricing across the client’s hardware portfolio, providing both transparency and speed in the buyout process. 

All equipment was securely transported, data-sanitized, and repurposed through ATI’s certified resale and remarketing channels—ensuring environmental compliance while maximizing return value. 

Outcome 

The client realized $175,422.50 in recovered value from decommissioned assets, which was reallocated toward upcoming capital projects within their IT and facilities budgets. Beyond the immediate financial gain, ATI ensured that 100% of the retired hardware found a productive second life, reinforcing both the client’s sustainability goals and responsible recycling commitments. 

This engagement showcased ATI’s ability to blend financial recovery, operational efficiency, and environmental stewardship, making ATI a trusted lifecycle partner for enterprise clients navigating large-scale IT transitions. 

“We helped a national travel company recover over $175,000 from iPads they were planning to scrap. That money went straight back into their new IT budget — fueling their next round of upgrades instead of going to a landfill.”  – Mikhail Mukhi, COO, ATI

Solution: 

ATI lobbies HP to create custom pricing structure for the customer. 

Outcomes: 

Challenge 

A national title insurance company operating across multiple states was facing significant challenges in controlling hardware expenses. Their internal IT team had been sourcing directly through standard distributor channels, resulting in inconsistent pricing and missed opportunities for volume-based or strategic discounts. As the organization prepared to refresh hundreds of devices across branch offices, the projected spend exceeded budget forecasts by nearly 20%.

This not only reduced immediate costs but also streamlined future purchasing by locking in long-term negotiated rates. ATI further provided asset tagging, imaging, and logistical coordination to ensure consistent deployment across the client’s offices. 

Outcome 

Through ATI’s strategic intervention, the client achieved $100,000 in hardware savings in 2025 alone, while securing permanent custom pricing for future purchases. The optimized procurement structure reduced acquisition complexity, improved budgeting accuracy, and allowed the organization to reallocate its surplus funds toward higher-value capital projects such as data security and infrastructure upgrades. 

Beyond the financial impact, ATI strengthened its role as a trusted advisor—proving that cost optimization, OEM advocacy, and client-first strategies can deliver lasting value well beyond the initial transaction.

ATI helps a national retailer recover value from aged and end-of-life inventory. 

Customer Profile: 

A national retailer with more than 1000+ retail locations 

Solution: 

ATI provides a competitive buy-out offer of all aged inventory. 

Outcomes: 

Challenge 

A national retail chain with over 1,000 locations was facing mounting challenges with aged, surplus, and end-of-life (EOL) inventory clogging its distribution centers and store shelves. These legacy products were tying up capital, consuming valuable warehouse space, and negatively affecting inventory turns. The company’s merchandising team struggled to meet sales and forecast targets while carrying unsellable or slow-moving stock — a growing concern as new product lines approached seasonal rollout deadlines. Without an efficient liquidation or recovery plan, the retailer risked write-offs and diminished profitability across multiple categories. 

Solution 

Advanced Technologies International (ATI) engaged with the retailer’s asset recovery and purchasing teams to design a strategic buyout solution for all aged and surplus inventory. Leveraging ATI’s nationwide ITAD and resale network, the team performed a comprehensive audit of the stock, categorized items by recoverable market value, and extended a competitive bulk purchase offer that immediately removed the aging inventory from the retailer’s books. 

ATI managed all logistics, including pickup coordination, asset tracking, and data reporting, ensuring full transparency throughout the process. This allowed the retailer to focus on replenishing high-velocity items while ATI handled resale and redistribution through its established remarketing channels. 

Outcome 

Through ATI’s program, the retailer successfully recovered value from previously unsellable stock, avoided additional write-offs, and freed critical shelf and warehouse space to make room for faster-moving, higher-margin items. The initiative directly contributed to the company meeting its quarterly sales and forecast goals, improved inventory efficiency, and reinforced a sustainable approach to end-of-life product management. 

By combining financial recovery with operational relief, ATI proved once again that strategic secondary-market partnerships can turn excess inventory into opportunity — helping national retailers stay lean, profitable, and positioned for growth.
