GRD

The Global Record of Devices (GRD) is a log of information and traceability for any electronic device, worldwide.

It collects from each device, at least, the geographical locations where it has been donated/recycled and aggregated metadata. The system provides a REST-API to allow IT Asset Management Systems, as DeviceHub, report device lifecycle, environmental responsabilities for organizations, etc.
