3stepIT partners with ExpandNow to unlock circular service opportunities

3stepIT, a global leader in circular technology services, has announced a partnership with e-commerce solution provider ExpandNow, aiming to revolutionise access to pre-loved technology and expand its circular economy offerings to consumers worldwide.

This collaboration marks a significant step in 3stepIT’s mission to extend the life of IT devices and reduce electronic waste by enabling seamless resale of corporate devices to employees for personal use. By integrating ExpandNow’s robust Merchant of Record (MoR) platform, 3stepIT will enhance its Employee Purchase Programme (EPP), ensuring end-to-end compliance across legal, tax, and regulatory domains while simplifying the buying process for users.

“By integrating ExpandNow’s cutting-edge technology, we are streamlining the employee purchase process and unlocking new opportunities to deliver value to our customers and end-users globally.”

The partnership also includes a significant investment by 3stepIT into ExpandNow, reflecting both companies’ commitment to long-term collaboration and shared values around sustainability and innovation.

By bridging the gap between B2B and B2C markets, the partnership allows corporate employees to purchase second-hand devices they previously used at work, extending the devices’ lifespan and reducing environmental impact. This builds on 3stepIT’s recent collaboration with SkyTech Control, completing a service ecosystem that enables a full transition from corporate to personal tech ownership.

“This collaboration bridges the B2B and B2C gap by using our Merchant of Record platform to simplify global payments, ensure compliance, and open direct-to-consumer channels. In addition, 3stepIT’s investment gives us a foundation for building and scaling our global business.”
