How GradeX Works
A streamlined 6-step workflow designed for high-volume iOS and Android smartphone processing
- Step 1
Intake & IMEI Validation
Upload or scan smartphone IMEIs (iPhone or Android), and GradeX validates each against blacklist, network-lock, iCloud/Google lock, and finance lock checks before proceeding.
- Step 2
Supervised Mode Activation & Diagnostics Install
GradeX runs in iOS Supervised Mode or Android Enterprise mode to silently install the diagnostic agent behind the scenes—no user tapping or manual setup needed.
- Step 3
Diagnostics & Grading
A full battery of tests runs automatically on iOS and Android smartphones (battery health, sensors, camera, Face ID/Touch ID, connectivity, display). Devices are assigned grades or status flags.
- Step 4
Erasure + Audit Logging + QR Certificate
Once smartphones pass, GradeX triggers data erasure workflows. Each device produces a tamper-resistant, per-device log and QR-encoded validation certificate.
- Step 5
Fallback / Manual Override
For locked or problematic smartphones, technicians can override, tag a condition (e.g. "iCloud locked," "Google locked," "needs rework") and submit diagnostic results with context.
- Step 6
Analytics & API Export
All collected data flows into GradeX Central. Use REST APIs or webhooks to feed results into your inventory, ERP, or reporting systems.

Read MoreSecurity, Integrity & Trust
Built-in safeguards ensure data integrity and audit-ready compliance from day one
Immutable, Tamper-Resistant Logs
Every device processed yields a cryptographically chained, append-only log capturing metadata (IMEI, user, timestamp, desk).
QR Certificate Validation
Certificates include QR encoding that external parties can scan to confirm authenticity and integrity.
Role-Based Access & Data Control
Permissions restrict who can view or export sensitive data; logs are append-only.
Data Handling & Retention Policies
You set configurations for how long logs and device metadata are stored, exported, or deleted.
