ERI achieves highest rating in industry for “Customer Rating” category

ERI, the nation’s largest fully integrated IT and electronics asset disposition provider and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company, has received the highest average star rating from customers (4.5 out if 5) in Compliance Standards LLC’s 2024 ITAD Vendor Reputation Ratings report.

The ratings are the result of the gathering of feedback from customers of the 30 leading US-based IT Asset Disposition vendors that serve enterprise-class clients in the United States.

Several criteria were used to score vendor activity, resulting in an overall reputation star rating, and include:

  • Portfolio of service offerings (depth and breadth)
  • Quality of work
  • Relationship
  • Pricing
  • Flexibility and customization
  • Management Vision

Combining the attributes above, ERI was one of only two pure-play ITAD service providers who received the overall 4.5 star customer rating, exhibiting a significant level of loyalty among its clients.

“ERI has been consistently producing some of the best metrics in the ITAD industry,” said David Daoud, Principal Analyst at Compliance Standards LLC. “Compliance Standards research indicates that ERI has strong momentum in the competitive landscape, scoring high among its existing customers on a number of critical ITAD management functions, and registering strong positive sentiments among its employees, which can help it build a forward-looking ESG momentum.
