SMART by Foxway

Built by refurbishers for refurbishers

SMART is Middleware as a Service for the Microsoft MAR ecosystem.

We integrate with Microsoft's ecosystem so refurbishers can focus on what matters most: licensed devices, great out-of-box experience, technician usability, compliance in the background, and stronger commercial outcomes.

Cloud-based key injection Microsoft MAR aligned Audit-ready workflows Autopilot lock removal Built for scale

"SMART has helped us improve our workflow. We originally chose it because of its ability to unlock Windows Business-locked laptops - but it’s become much more than that. It saves us time, helps us stay compliant, and means we no longer rely on sellers to respond. We'd rate it a solid 9/10."

The problem

Why MAR still feels harder than it should

MAR basics

The Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher programme is the framework for licensing refurbished devices with genuine Microsoft software.

From COA to digital

Historically, COA stickers made licensing visible and simple.

The shift to digital was necessary, but it left refurbishers with an OEM-style ecosystem built around servers, scripts and complex reporting.

Where the friction is

Complicated MAR sign-up, partner onboarding and process setup
On-prem hardware, script based key injection and server maintenance
Manual driver checks, licence validation and Autopilot headaches

Example of a traditional Microsoft COA sticker — Traditional COA labeling made licensing visible on every device.

The SMARTer Way

Install. Inject. Report. Ship.

1

Subscribe and access keys

Sign up, activate a plan, and access genuine Windows keys through the SMART platform.

2

Run the SMART client

Use the lightweight client in Audit Mode to inject keys and automatically handle the reporting workflow.

3

Standardize production

Use the same workflow across facilities with clearer controls, less manual effort, and faster onboarding.

Setup can take as little as 5 minutes, and purchased keys are available immediately.

More than just a key

SMART is more than licence injection

Easiest way to install OS and drivers without custom scripts or servers.

Built-in checks catch Autopilot and MDM risk before devices ship.

Compliance data is generated alongside licence injection, available from the dashboard and to export.

Verification tools let anyone validate a refurbisher ID or device serial number and see the relevant proof immediately.

The Autopilot issue

Autopilot can expose private data even after wiping

Cloud-based lock risk

Autopilot and MDM bindings are stored in the cloud, not on the device.
A factory wipe does not remove the tenant binding.
Devices can still boot as managed or reveal previous tenant data.

Data risk for refurbishers

Locked devices can expose company and user details.
This creates GDPR, privacy and trust risks.
Some programs will need device-level proof that each refurbished unit is legitimately licensed and clean.

SMART’s Autopilot solution

SMART removes the lock and creates proof

Profile detection

SMART warns you when Autopilot or MDM profiles are present before licence injection.

Safe reset workflow

SMART ensures the correct reset and OOBE sequence so the device is no longer tenant-bound.

Licence & report proof

Every device gets the licence and compliance data the OEM's and Microsoft expect, with traceability built in.

Proof points

SMART is already delivering results for the refurbishment market.
