Purpose: Provide a decentralized overview of the availability of second hand, refurbished, repaired devices and of spare parts, products, and items needed to repair digital devices.
Implementation: Decentralized Database: Develop a decentralized database accessible by all ecosystem participants (repair shops, manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users). This database should list available devices, spare parts, tools, and repair items, including details like specifications, quantities, prices, and locations.
Standardized Categorization: Implement a standardized categorization system for all items in the catalogue to ensure consistency and ease of use.
Real-time Updates: Ensure that the catalogue is updated in real-time with current inventory levels, new stock additions, and item removals.
Integration with Repair Management Systems: Integrate the catalogue with existing repair management systems to streamline the parts ordering process directly from the repair workflow. (~UC_RPS_1; UC_RPS_3; UC_RPS_4)
Impact: A centralized, real-time catalogue improves visibility into devices and spare part availability, reduces the time spent searching for components, and facilitates efficient repair processes, ultimately reducing digital e-waste by extending the lifespan of devices.
