bb-net and ITscope form partnership for sustainable IT procurement

Karlsruhe/Schweinfurt, 1 July 2025 – ITscope and bb-net have ente­red into a stra­te­gic part­ner­ship: bb-net, one of the lea­ding pro­vi­ders of pro­fes­sio­nal IT refur­bish­ment solu­ti­ons, is now lis­ted as a dis­tri­bu­tor on the ITscope plat­form. This col­la­bo­ra­ti­on expands the oppor­tu­ni­ties for sys­tem hou­ses and resel­lers to inte­gra­te sus­tainable IT pro­cu­re­ment into their busi­ness models.

“Thanks to the Refurbished Portal, ITscope is the ide­al part­ner for us to expand the digi­tal reach of refur­bis­hed IT,” says Marco Kuhn, Managing Director of bb-net. “We were pre­vious­ly pre­sent on the plat­form, but at that time the­re was no clear way to dif­fe­ren­tia­te bet­ween new and refur­bis­hed pro­ducts. With the intro­duc­tion of a dedi­ca­ted Refurbished Portal, visi­bi­li­ty has signi­fi­cant­ly increased – it was imme­dia­te­ly clear to us: we’re coming back.”

Oliver Gorges, Director Sales & Marketing at ITscope, adds: “Refurbished IT is a rapidly gro­wing seg­ment in the chan­nel. With bb-net as a dis­tri­bu­tor, we are offe­ring our part­ners ano­ther well-established sup­pli­er to source and order sus­tainable hard­ware solu­ti­ons direct­ly. This repres­ents a major oppor­tu­ni­ty for sys­tem hou­ses to offer their cus­to­mers eco­no­mic­al and sus­tainable IT alternatives.”

The part­ner­ship bet­ween ITscope and bb-net is more than just ano­ther sup­pli­er lis­ting – it demons­tra­tes how sus­tainable IT pro­cu­re­ment works in the chan­nel. Resellers and sys­tem hou­ses bene­fit from direct access to cer­ti­fied refur­bis­hed hard­ware that can be seam­less­ly inte­gra­ted into exis­ting IT pro­jects and pro­ces­ses. The lis­ted devices pre­do­mi­nant­ly come from the pre­mi­um retail brand tecXL, which stands for high-quality busi­ness IT offe­red at up to 80% below the ori­gi­nal RRP. The pro­ducts come with pre-installed soft­ware and up to five years’ war­ran­ty. This makes sus­tainable busi­ness not just a duty, but a genui­ne added value in the B2B sector.

For over 25 years, bb-net Media GmbH has spe­cia­li­sed in the pro­fes­sio­nal refur­bish­ment of used IT hard­ware, sup­p­ly­ing the ICT chan­nel with high-quality, cer­ti­fied busi­ness IT under the pre­mi­um brand tecXL. The port­fo­lio includes note­books, PCs, moni­tors, and ser­vers. Additionally, bb-net offers return and remar­ke­ting ser­vices, inclu­ding GDPR- and BSI-compliant data era­su­re, actively pro­mo­ting the cir­cu­lar eco­no­my. This sup­ports sys­tem hou­ses and resel­lers in imple­men­ting sus­tainable pro­cu­re­ment con­cepts and inte­gra­ting refur­bis­hed IT as a fixed com­po­nent of their projects.

ITscope is a lea­ding plat­form for IT pro­cu­re­ment and sales in the B2B sec­tor. System hou­ses, resel­lers, dis­tri­bu­tors, and manu­fac­tu­r­ers compa­re, pro­cu­re, and sell ICT pro­ducts digi­tal­ly via ITscope. The cloud-based plat­form offers over 7 mil­li­on items from more than 300 sup­pli­ers and sup­ports e‑procurement as well as e‑commerce through indi­vi­du­al­ly con­fi­gura­ble B2B shops. Interfaces to ERP sys­tems, e‑procurement, and shop inte­gra­ti­ons enable seam­less incor­po­ra­ti­on of busi­ness pro­ces­ses into exis­ting IT systems.
