Before you trade it, insure it, or repair it, you need to know it.
The device industry finally has its KYC moment.
A phone moves through a dozen hands in its lifetime. At every transition, someone runs a new inspection, generates a new report, and trusts their own eyes. The last assessment? Gone. The retailer's grading? The buyer doesn't trust it. The insurer's condition data? The repair provider has never seen it. Every hand-off erases what the last one learned.
KYD answers three questions about any device, instantly:
Identity
Who this device is. IMEI, model, warranty, ownership — verified at the source, never guessed.
Condition
How this device is. Battery, screen, camera, ports — graded by AI in seconds, not guessed by eye.
Decision
What to do next. Trade-in, insure, repair — the right call, instantly, backed by verified data.
Built on two core products
KYD is made possible by two things Pandas built: one that creates intelligence, and one that stores it.
Pandas Engine
An AI grading system that verifies a device's identity and condition in seconds. Specialist agents combine computer vision and automated diagnostics into one trusted result.

A persistent digital record of everything the Engine produces. Every assessment, journey, and outcome is written here — travelling with the device and never losing data.

Ahead of regulation, not reacting to it
The EU Digital Product Passport regulation will require standardised digital records for electronic devices. KYD already does this. Pandas customers are building on a framework that's ahead of where regulation is heading, not scrambling to catch up when it arrives.
