Stop losing phones you can't trace.

Phones are small, expensive and easy to swap. Dealpad records each IMEI from the shipment to the customer, so you always know where each phone is and who owes you for it.

US$15a month for your business. Agents and staff use it free.

Where phone dealers lose money

It rarely happens all at once. An agent brings back a phone, but not the one you gave him. A customer returns a handset and swears she bought it last week. A trade-in turns out to be locked to someone else's iCloud. Someone says a phone you sold was stolen, and all you have is a notebook. Each one costs you a phone, a refund or your name in the market, and none of them is rare.

How Dealpad stops it

  1. Know which phone is which.

    Scan each phone's IMEI as the shipment arrives, with the second IMEI on dual-SIM handsets, and Dealpad refuses one that is still in stock, at your business or at another dealer on Dealpad. From then on, each issue note lists the IMEIs handed over, a phone can only be sold by whoever holds it, and a returned phone is scanned to find its sale. If a customer brings back a phone you never sold, Dealpad shows it at once.

  2. When someone says a phone was stolen.

    Scan the IMEI and show where it came from: the shipment, each person who held it, and the sale. If it came in on a swap, the seller's name, phone and ID number are on record too. Share its history as a PDF, with your costs left out. Its history covers your own records only, so it proves what happened in your business, not anywhere else.

  3. Swaps that don't come back to bite you.

    Before you agree a value, Dealpad walks you through the checks: screen, battery health, accessories, and whether the iCloud or Google account is removed. A phone still signed in can't be valued. Dealpad records the seller's name, phone and ID number. If that IMEI still shows as in stock, yours or another dealer's on Dealpad, the swap is flagged and the phone kept out of your stock. Staff and agents need your OK to value a phone above your swap guide, unless you let them value trade-ins themselves.

  4. Warranty arguments settled in seconds.

    Scan the returned phone and the sale opens: when it was sold, at what price, and how many warranty days are left for its condition. Phones you sold as no returns are declined on the spot, and refunds above your limit need your OK.

  5. Customers asking for phones you don't have.

    Take an order, with or without a deposit, instead of saying come back next week. When the stock lands, whoever took the order hears about it, sets a phone aside for the customer, and sends them a WhatsApp message Dealpad has already written. Those orders also feed your demand view, so your next import follows what people actually asked for.

  6. Payment plans that don't live in a notebook.

    Customers paying in parts get a plan, and the phone goes with them now or stays with you until it's paid. Each payment is recorded as it comes in, and if the date moves, the plan keeps the original date and each change.

Questions

I already have hundreds of phones in stock. Do I have to type them all in?

No. Scan them in one after another, or count them in now and capture their IMEIs later.

My agents use cheap Android phones. Will it run?

Dealpad is built for everyday Android phones, and selling works without signal.

Does Dealpad check if a phone is stolen?

No. It shows a phone's history in your own business, and warns you when a phone you take in on a swap is still in stock at another dealer on Dealpad.

Does it print receipts?

Not yet, but each sale's receipt can go to the customer on WhatsApp as a PDF or a picture.
