AboutAshley, INSince 2018

Quiet operators.Loud results.

We started in a small town in northeast Indiana because we believed responsible buyback could be the default, not the exception. Eight years later, we're proving it on a national scale — quietly, repeatedly, with receipts.

01The short version

One town.Eight years deep.

We started in a small Indiana town— and stayed.

Refreshed Tech opened in Ashley, Indiana in 2018 with a stubborn premise: responsible buyback should be the default, not a line item on the proposal. Eight years later, that premise is the company.

We buy back and refurbish phones, tablets, laptops and Chromebooks from school districts, enterprises, leasing operators and channel partners — and we report every dollar and every gram of carbon back to the partner who trusted us with it.

We're not the loudest company in this space. We don't need to be. The partners who find us tend to stick around, and most of our growth is referrals from school IT directors and channel partners who got a fair price and a clean wipe and told the next person.

02Our story

Built inIndiana.

2018

Founded in Ashley, IN

Kyle Wainwright launches Refreshed Tech with a stubborn premise: device buyback shouldn't be a black box. Year one is mostly K-12 districts and a lot of phone calls.

—

EDU vertical takes hold

School districts find us. The K-12 refresh calendar becomes the rhythm of the business — and the operational muscle we still run on today.

—

The Ashley facility

103,000 square feet — room for the volume we'd been outgrowing. Still our HQ.

—

Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher

One of the credentials that takes a year of paperwork and you can't fake. We earned it.

—

TaaS platform launches

Trade-In-as-a-Service (TaaS) goes live — white-labeled buyback for enterprise + retail. The back-end we'd been running internally, productized for partners.

2025

OVATION partnership

We partner with OVATION to bring our trade-in infrastructure to a broader retail audience.

Now

What's next

Scaling capacity, deepening channel partnerships, and proving — quote-by-quote, payout-by-payout — that responsible buyback can be the default, not the exception.

03Our values

Five ruleswe live by.

Value · 01

Pick up the phone.

A real human in Ashley answers every quote, every email, every escalation. No support-ticket purgatory, no offshore intake form, no shrug emoji.

Value · 02

Quote what you'd accept.

We don't lowball to close — we price what we can actually pay. The number you see is the number that hits your account. No back-loaded reserves, no surprise grade-downs at the dock.

Value · 03

Wipe like the data is ours.

Every device gets sanitized to the standard the strictest auditor on your team would require. The certificate is in the same email as the payment.

Value · 04

Make the math defensible.

When we say '149M lbs of CO₂' or 'Microsoft Authorized', we can show the work. The numbers on this site are receipts — not estimates.

Value · 05

Stay in Ashley.

We were going to grow out of this town and we decided not to. Indiana is a feature, not a phase — it's why the phone gets answered.
