Qrent has launched a new reseller program in Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa, offering partners a new and cost-effective way to source IT gear.

IT resellers now have access to certified, top-tier refurbished laptops at prices up to 50% below new units.

According to Qrent managing executive Kwirirai Rukowo, the program allows resellers to tap into Qrent’s inventory of fully refurbished, high-performance IT equipment.

“These devices are backed by Qrent’s over-20-year history in IT leasing and refurbishment, and undergo Circular Computing’s rigorous 360-step remanufacturing process, earning BSI Kitemark certification and posting RMA rates under 3%. That translates into devices that not only look and perform ‘as new’ but also carry reliable warranties – a powerful selling point for clients,” he explains.

Qrent devices are also environmentally impactful. Every sale helps organisations enter the circular economy, cutting landfill contributions, raw-material usage, and CO₂ emissions.

Rukowo stresses that Qrent isn’t a newcomer – it’s the IT remarketing arm of InnoVent, which has been operational since 2003. It has established offices in seven countries, including South Africa, UK, Kenya, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the United Arab Emirates and five satellite offices in Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.

“The recent partnership with UK’s Circular Computing gives resellers exclusive access to globally certified refurbished devices – ones that boast carbon neutrality backed by formal measurements. That partnership puts resellers at the cutting edge of sustainable, enterprise-grade tech distribution in Africa,” he adds.
