Our Mission
Expanding software adoption and affordable device access worldwide
Our objective is to help software brands grow, create new revenue opportunities for refurbishers through software partnerships and market expansion, and equip international governments and educational systems with affordable devices to support learning and digital transformation.
We launched PlayaNext with a vision to enable cost-effective cross-marketing among brand-name software companies at scale. Today, the company has evolved into a trusted partner, helping software brands reach new users and generate revenues while providing refurbishers with new revenue streams through preinstalled software and global market access.
PlayaNext has expanded into the refurbished devices market, working with key strategic partners and refurbishers, to bring affordable technology to international governments and educational systems—helping bridge the digital divide with cost-effective computing solutions.
