Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Minthive is a company that tracks electronic product data throughout its lifecycle. We collect data from refurbishment and repair companies and make it available and accessible to businesses and end users in the form of a Minthive pass.

The Minthive Label is a shortened version of the full Minthive Pass. It includes appearance, battery, repair, functionality, and overall scores generated by Minthive.

While most devices are graded based solely on appearance, Minthive provides a more comprehensive evaluation and grading based on multiple factors, including appearance, battery, repair, and functionality.

Data is gathered from many different sources, but most importantly from repair and refurbishment partners from all around Europe.

Minthive gathers a variety of data points related to second-hand electronic devices' history, warranty, specifications, blacklists, VAT status, etc.

Information in our database is de-personalized, so it cannot be traced back to the specific repair or refurbishment center. This approach encourages companies to share second-hand device data without losing their competitive advantage.
