Operating Model

Service Execution vs System Control

Phobio

Phobio follows a service-led model, where trade-ins are processed through its infrastructure, including inspection facilities, logistics handling, and payment workflows.

Reusely

Reusely follows a platform-led model, where teams:

Define pricing rules

Manage offers and workflows

Track inventory and logistics

Control payout processes

This creates a different operational approach:

Phobio service execution handled externally

Reusely workflows managed internally
