Lifecycle Management
ANOVO’s offering goes far beyond simple repairs. We provide support throughout the product’s lifecycle. Our services starts upstream
with technology validation and product customisation before products are released on the market. And on the downstream side,
ANOVO provides a range of reverse logistics services: performing tests, sorting, managing spare parts, answering customer calls,
providing express delivery of replacement parts and on-site repairs or replacing them for the customer directly on site. Finally,
we offer a second life to products through asset recovery and recycling within the framework of the WEEE.

Benefits to clients
Improve customer experience
As the digital marketplace becomes increasingly competitive, the
customer experience is ever important for developing brand loyalty and
in turn driving competitor advantage.
ANOVO understands the customer experience is a journey... as such
we focus on the customer and not just the repair solution. Using our
industry experience, customer relationship management systems and
customer care experts, we can minimise costs whilst ensuring a customer
experience to live up to the client’s brand.

Minimise after-sales service costs
ANOVO can significantly reduce after-sales service costs, particularly when appointed
sole reverse logistics partner across Europe. Our ability to pool resources, develop
test benches that allow us to diagnose breakdowns, coupled with our proprietary
information systems that deliver valuable real time data... We can ensure that the
client is fully informed about both the quality and profitability of their operations
throughout Europe.

Consistent service quality
ANOVO has significant expertise across Europe supported by numerous
local resources, providing our clients with the best possible multi-local
solution.
Working within a structured framework, ANOVO ensures a consistent
level of service is maintained across Europe, for which the Key Account
Manager is fundamental to delivering this as the client’s single point of
contact.

Protecting the planet
By the very nature of our business, ANOVO contributes to sustainable development of electronic
products. Indeed, by repairing defective products, picking up those that are no longer useful to
consumers and recycling them, ANOVO gives them a second lease of life. Thus, ANOVO both
minimises electronic waste and makes products available once again to the public. Furthermore,
ANOVO manages product end-of-life, an economic and regulatory necessity today for every player
involved in the digital chain in Europe (WEEE* and RoHS**). Finally, the ANOVO offering, which
is multi-site by its very nature, avoids returning products to the factories that manufactured them,
usually located in Asia. The CO2 footprint of the ANOVO offering is also among the smallest in the
market.

Cutting-edge surgery
on an industrial scale

A must: market leading
technology logistics
Identifying the level of service a product needs is an essential first step in optimising its
refurbishment. Indeed, this helps direct the product to the appropriate repair or refurbishing
network, thus reducing the cost of customer service whilst limiting unnecessary transportation
costs. furthermore, screening and testing operations help to considerably reduce the turnaround
time, limiting carrying cost.

A reverse logistics hub for NOKIA

I
n Thetford, UK, ANOVO has set up a reverse logistics
hub (L-Hub) for NOKIA that centrally manages the entire
range of NOKIA mobile phones under warranty. Each
month, ANOVO receives tens of thousands of phones
returned by the various channels. ANOVO checks each
device and sends it to the appropriate repair network. More
than 200,000 products have already passed through this L-Hub
since its launch in January 2007. As a client for more than
11 years, NOKIA chose ANOVO for its competence in digital
technology logistics on a European scale. The L-Hub allows
NOKIA to deliver fast turnaround times and in turn, maximise
customer service.

Customised supply chain designed for MEDIA MARKT

T
he German retail chain MEDIA MARKT, a leading European
specialist in consumer electronics, has a presence in Sweden with
8 superstores. Every day, ANOVO collects all products that have
been returned as defective. Centralised at the Västerås Centre of
Excellence, the products are first checked and screened according
to the level of service required. Any items that are DOA (Dead on Arrival) can
be sent back to the respective manufacturers. In addition, ANOVO also offers a
full repair management service to MEDIA MARKT, this involves in-house repair
by ANOVO and outsourced managed repair when required. Finally all repaired
products are returned to store, managed directly by ANOVO.

Norwich Centre of Excellence (United Kingdom)

ANOVO strengthens our partnership with
manufacturers by collecting all returned products
from every brand for major retail chains.

Automated test benches
to diagnose failures

A
t the Beauvais Centre of Excellence,
test benches have been specially
developed to test set-top boxes,
the same has been done in Soranno
for SKY ITALIA. The goal is to
diagnose failures as quickly as possible with
optimal reliability. This is the reason ANOVO
has developed, with the support of the main
manufacturers, automated test benches, to
recognise failure modes. They work to identify
the problem and advise the most appropriate
solution. The benefit is less downtime whilst
minimising service costs.

keep a detailed list of all operations performed. Clients can use the Internet to track
the chain of operations and analyse the data and statistics prepared by ANOVO. Online
updating of the model and its serial number make it easy to optimise management of
a replacement inventory. But that’s not all: “E-tracking” provides access to a unique
knowledge base on the products. Exploiting this information not only helps to provide
more effective customer service, but also streamlines the design and engineering of
products upstream.

New product introduction:
product validation & customisation
ANOVO is increasingly involved before products are released on the market, allowing our clients
to reap the benefits of our reverse logistics expertise. for example, we validate the performance of
3g phones, their specific characteristics (software & hardware) and compatibility with various interfaces,
infrastructures and current standards and help manufacturers source their components from China.
ANOVO can also customise products according to the specific needs of our clients: order preparation,
packaging, pre-programming & loading software, branding, etc.

Customised & delivered by ANOVO

A
NOVO offers a truly customised fulfilment service for telephone operators and MVNOs*. Whether working for
ORANGE ENTERPRISES, SFR in France, Nokia’s virtual stores in the United Kingdom or for remote sales on
behalf of CANAL+… ANOVO configures products, loads and tests software, manages the physical assembly of
products and puts these customised product packages together with the appropriate accessories and marketing
documentation. Finally, ANOVO can dispatch the entire package directly to subscribers or to points of sale.

Validation of the electromagnetic compatibility
of the Airbus A380

A
NOVO was selected to conduct the electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) tests for the certification of the A380 that were successfully
passed. This test assessed the impact of electronic signals on the
plane’s systems caused by lightning and electromagnetic fields. Non-
interference tests (compatibility between the plane’s different emitters and
receivers) were also performed. These conclusive tests made it possible to validate
the specifications of Airbus’ engineering department. More generally, for Airbus
and its line of planes (A380, A350 and A400M), ANOVO has performed services
focusing on measuring the electromagnetic compatibility of onboard equipment and
methods of protection against lightning. Eight specialised ANOVO engineers and
technicians work with Airbus’ teams in Toulouse, maintaining regular contact with
ANOVO’s laboratory team based in Brive. We perform a range of turnkey technical
services for which the deliverables generally consist of test or technical reports.
Product validation is particularly advanced in telecommunications, where ANOVO
has expertise both in repairing mobile devices and in maintaining infrastructure
and networks technologies.

As a member of the LABSYS European Excellence Cluster,
ANOVO invested in a 3D anechoic chamber in Brive
to validate digital technologies.

A
s part of the European Excellence
Cluster ELOPSYS, ANOVO is supporting
a research project called LABSYS.
For the project, ANOVO invested in
a 3D anechoic chamber for our Brive
site that works to validate and classify digital
technologies. This year, for example, ANOVO
was able to validate the radio performance of
certain GPS devices, validate passive and active
radio communications antennae, validate 3G
technology for network-enabled PCs, validate
the next generation of mobile phones that will
be able to receive digital terrestrial television
using DVB-H technology, and even validate new
wireless products.


Validating new technologies before they
are released on the market helps to
avoid massive returns or withdrawals,

Quality assurance for components made in China
Based in northern Shanghai, the ANOVO Kunshan office has key expertise in component procurement and quality assurance
in China. ANOVO supports its European clients to verify the quality of new products and technologies against a defined and agreed set
of specifications. The goal is to ensure the highest possible quality standards before product are brought to market, thus minimising
service costs upon market launch.

A core capability:
repair and refurbishment
technology repair is at the heart of ANOVO’s business, whether this calls for renovating, refurbishing
or reconditioning a product, updating a piece of software or replacing an electronic component,
ANOVO applies our industrial approach to all types of digital technologies. Optimising these
processes allows us to provide our clients with optimised turnaround time combined with a warranty
on our repairs.

HP door-to-door customer service
with ANOVO

F
or HP, ANOVO has developed a unique “Collect and
Return” customer service for all their desktop and
laptop computer lines. In the event of equipment
failure, customers call the hotline, provide their
identification and a courier service collects the
product on site. It is then sent to an ANOVO Centre of
Excellence for repair after which it is returned directly to
the customer. All within five days! At present, this service is
in place in six countries: Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Italy. It is available both for products both
in and out of warranty. In the latter case, a quotation is
first established for the customer. The status of repair is
monitored by our proprietary “E-tracking” application to
which HP is connected, allowing it to follow in real time each
phase of the product repair process.

IBM: new resolution for motherboards

A
NOVO manages the entire reverse logistics and repair chain for
Lenovo brand computers (IBM) through its centre of excellence in
Angers (France), Saronno (Italy) and soon Västerås. A total of 18,000
motherboards are processed and repaired each year. This repair
service requires a sophisticated level 3 repair that requires specific
tools and training. As IBM operating manager at ANOVO put it, “IBM chooses
ANOVO to optimise its warranty costs and make its after-sales service more
effective. Just like our major international clients, IBM appreciates the ability to
monitor the entire repair chain online, to have identical procedures across all
concerned sites, as well as having just one partner responsible for directing the
relationship within the Group.”

The NINTENDO Wii:
a tremendously successful console!

A
fter the Wii launch achieved global success, Nintendo
was faced with a substantial challenge: how could the
company handle consoles returned from the distribution
networks that often did not show severe defects but
were still sent to the repair networks? Since July 2007,
ANOVO has been receiving Wii returns in Spain. The Málaga Centre
of Excellence checks them and updates them (software, parts,
etc.) when necessary. Nintendo has two objectives in the operation:
reducing its reverse logistics costs and putting products under
warranty back into the network as quickly as possible. For those
that require more extensive repairs, ANOVO sends them to the
manufacturer in Germany or else repairs them on site, depending
on the level of approval. Thanks to “e-tracking,” Nintendo can use
the web for real-time tracking of the thousands of Wii consoles
handled by ANOVO each month, receiving precise & regular reports.
The next step for Nintendo will be to carry out the repair so that
increasingly demanding consumers will not be deprived of their
game consoles...

A strong demand:
on-site service and installation
today, the deployment of ANOVO’s on-site assistance and maintenance offering makes it possible
to directly respond to consumer needs in a proactive manner. At the request of our clients and with
rapid response times, ANOVO technicians are dispatched on-site for every type of service call.

In Italy ANOVO provides maintenance
for the gaming machines
of Lottomatica and Sisal Slot

A
NOVO provides maintenance for more than 1,000 machines
that record the gaming bets for LOTTOMATICA (the Italian
lottery) in the Trentino Alto Adige region. The ANOVO
technician must respond within two hours after being
called, including Saturdays. A significant challenge for
teams whose scope of operations cover all regions of Italy. For SISA L
SLOT, a gaming company licensed by the Italian government, ANOVO
technicians guarantee the installations and maintenance of more than
3,000 slot machines within a maximum eight hour response time
including Saturdays.

More than 65,000 installations each year in Norwegian homes

I
n Norway, ANOVO has been managing satellite dish installation at customers’ homes for VIASAT and CANAL DIGITAL
through our network of 120 approved installers (ANOVO -NETT). It also visits the homes of RIKS TV subscribers to
set up the digital television network and homes of ACER customers to install and repair the brand’s computers. These
clients chose ANOVO for its ability to provide a single, simple interface combined with effective coverage in terms of
territory. Through a direct connection between their systems and ANOVO’s, they can transparently view the status of
installations. Finally, the reporting system informs them of the level of satisfaction among end customers and profitability

n the United Kingdom, when users of the “BT Broadband System”
service have a connection problem at home, they contact a call
centre to try to resolve it. If necessary, they receive a visit from an
ANOVO technician. Each morning, BT sends a list of these scheduled
visits for that same day or week to ANOVO UK. ANOVO also assists BT
subscribers with installs and repairs their high-speed modems (the “BT
Home Hub”). This service is handled by the Enfield Centre of Excellence in
England, which repairs the modems and sends them back to subscribers
directly. As a client of the group for more than twelve years, BT relies on
ANOVO’s expertise to expand its offering of at-home services.

A new trend:
extended warranty solution
When purchased, a digital product is covered by a minimum one-year manufacturer’s warranty.
But more and more manufacturers, operators & retailers are offering extended warranties that also
cover risks related to product use. this trend creates return flows because it is more cost-effective
to repair or furbish a returned product than to replace it with a new one. ANOVO has launched
an offering to support extended warranty on behalf of clients and insurers: this solution includes
receiving calls on a free-phone number, accepting, repairing or replacing products and then sending
them back to the consumer.

A “customised” service for UNIEURO and EXPERT

I
n Italy, ANOVO manages extended warranties for products sold by UNIEURO
and EXPERT, two leading electricals retail chains. A broad range of products
(flat-screens, game consoles, digital cameras, laptops, mobile phones, etc.) of
all brands are offered with extended warranties, the technical support of which
is handled entirely by ANOVO. This comprehensive service helps to improve
customer relations and enhance the offerings of these two retailers.

A “VIP” solution for TELIA’s customers

T
ELIA SONERA is the historical telephony operator in Sweden.
When a subscriber purchases a mobile phone, they can add a
“guaranteed replacement” service that is valid for two years. If the
phone breaks, the subscriber can request a replacement phone over
the Internet. ANOVO, which manages replacement inventory for TELIA,
then sends out a replacement telephone that same day. The subscriber receives
the replacement mobile phone with a prepaid envelope to return the defective
model. The returned phone will be repaired by ANOVO, restored and added to
the replacement inventory for a future request. There are two advantages for the
TELIA consumer: they don’t need to travel and they are guaranteed a mobile
phone in case of emergencies. For TELIA, ANOVO provides a comprehensive,
integrated service that can be tracked in real time over the Internet.

Some clients anticipate and finance a replacement inventory
based on an estimate of returns so that the customer
is always satisfied. That’s standard for exchanges.

SAMSUNG, or the invisible repair

I
n Sweden, ANOVO manages a replacement inventory
of LCD monitors for SAMSUNG. These are repaired products
that can be given quickly to consumers in case of equipment
failure. So, when a repair request is made, ANOVO supplies the
user with a product from its inventory to replace the defective
screen. In less than two weeks, ANOVO will repair the screen, which
will then be used to resupply the replacement inventory.


When consumers sign up for
an extended warranty, they
are paying to prolong the life
of their product. Without even
realising it, they are helping to
reduce electronic waste.

A requirement: extending
the life of digital products
By prolonging product life and recycling its components, ANOVO prevents premature obsolescence
and contributes to reduced electronic waste. By offering a second life to digital products, ANOVO
also creates many economic (contributing to the development of new commercial industries) and
social opportunities (access to “second hand” products). finally, by sorting materials at the end
of a product life, ANOVO feeds raw materials into the recycling industry so that they do not end
up as environmental waste.

Recycling

A
NOVO has developed an online community recycling platform
to offer our customers & consumers the opportunity to
extend product life and reduce electronic waste. Through the
“Love2Recycle” initiative, and similar white-label solutions,
mobile phones are collected via a trading website and then
recycled. The system is simple – consumers first select their model, find the
price and confirm the order – once the phone is received by our technical
teams, the product is tested, payment is sent and ANOVO refurbish the
phones giving them a new lease of life. ANOVO today runs this type of
partnership with operators such as Telefonica in Spain, SFR in France
and retailers like cdiscount.com, rueducommerce.com in France and
moneysupermarket.com in the United Kingdom. This service represents
an advance on future developments of the WEEE DIRECTIVE

Modifications to the WEEE Directive to promote the reuse of our electronic products.
In December 2008 the Baraso Commission proposed revisions to the directive that will be submitted to the European Parliament for debate
in September 2009 with application expected in 2011. The primary purpose of this revised draft directive is to reduce the destruction of
electronic products at the end of their lifecycle that are often still operational in favour of their reuse. After repairs, the products are then
resold as second-hand material, in turn contributing to reducing the digital divide.

he Group created a consumer facing website to resell
second-hand, refurbished digital products. Products
collected through the Love2Recycle channel along with
