ProktaA phone can pass every test and still have a scratched back. And by the time it reaches the bench, you've already paid for it.
Grading from test results tells you what works, not what it looks like. Grading at the warehouse tells you after the money has moved. Prokta grades cosmetic condition from photos at the counter, prices it in before you pay, and seals that record. When the warehouse re-scan doesn't match, both sides see the same evidence, not just an audit log of who graded what. Over 95% of disputes end on the record alone.

Built on evidence infrastructure
The same system that settles condition disputes at scale across retail runs your trade-in program.
Running today across organized retail chains, powering Pinloop's condition-verified device exchange.

Very few condition assessments ever change after the fact. The industry norm is the majority.
Prokta vs BlackBelt360: common questions
Is Prokta a BlackBelt360 alternative?
Partly. Both products grade and price devices, but at different points. BlackBelt360 grades on the processing bench from diagnostic test results, then wipes the device. Prokta grades from photos at the point of trade-in, before you pay, and also runs customer KYC, logistics, warehouse disputes and financials. If you need certified erasure and deep bench diagnostics, keep BlackBelt360 and run the trade-in on Prokta.
Does Prokta wipe data or run deep diagnostics?
No. Prokta does not perform certified data erasure or deep bench diagnostics such as parts originality or IMEI blacklist checks. It works alongside the processing tool you already use, such as BlackBelt360.
Can I use Prokta and BlackBelt360 together?
Yes. Prokta handles the trade-in at the counter and everything up to the warehouse, and the invoicing after it. BlackBelt360 handles bench diagnostics and certified erasure once the device arrives.
How is Prokta's grading different from BlackBelt360 Grade?
BlackBelt360 Grade turns diagnostic test results into a grade, on the processing bench. Prokta grades cosmetic condition with AI from photos at the moment of trade-in, so scratches, dents and cracks are priced in before the customer is paid, and the photos become a sealed record for later disputes.
Does Prokta need a PC, cables or special hardware?
No. Grading runs in the Prokta app using photos, and the customer runs quick screen and camera tests in their own browser by scanning a QR code, with nothing to install.
How does Prokta settle trade-in disputes?
Each device is re-scanned at the warehouse and compared side by side with the sealed photos captured at trade-in. Differences are marked and disputes are flagged instantly, so both sides see the same evidence. Over 95% of disputes are resolved by the record alone.
