Chain of custody, per device
A continuous, tamper-evident trail from pickup to disposal — the proof at the core of every certificate.
Chain of custody is the backbone of trustworthy ITAD. In WipeTrail every device carries a unique QR code and an immutable event history, so you can prove exactly who handled it, what was done, and when — from the customer’s door to its final outcome.
Every event, timestamped
Collection, intake scan, wipe, verification, certification, resale or destruction — each event is recorded against the device with a timestamp and the operator responsible.
Tamper-evident by design
The history is append-only. Records aren’t quietly edited or deleted, which is exactly what an auditor or a data-breach investigator needs to see.
The thread behind every certificate
Each data-destruction, WEEE and reuse certificate links straight back to the device’s custody trail, so the paperwork is evidence, not just a PDF.

Frequently asked questions
What is chain of custody in ITAD?
A documented, unbroken record of everyone who handled a device and everything done to it, from collection to final disposal.
Is it per device or per batch?
Per device. Every asset has its own QR code and event history, which is what makes the certificates defensible.
Can customers see the trail?
Yes — through the client portal they can follow each of their devices in real time.
