CT Ultramax

Verify industrial parts on eBay: price fraud, MPN mismatch, image reuse. Plus audit-ready documentation before PO or reimbursement.

CT Ultramax creates audit-ready documentation for industrial OT parts sourced from eBay, brokers or unauthorized suppliers — before PO approval, card payment or reimbursement. Designed for maintenance engineers, MRO buyers, plant managers, quality and compliance teams who source industrial automation parts from secondary markets when authorized distributors have no stock. ══════════════════════════════════════════ WHY THIS MATTERS ══════════════════════════════════════════ When maintenance buys an urgent industrial part outside approved supplier channels, finance later asks a question most teams cannot answer cleanly: "What evidence proves the purchase was reviewed before money left the company?" CT creates that documented control record — the audit-ready answer your finance, manager or auditor will ask for. ══════════════════════════════════════════ WHAT CT CHECKS ON EVERY LISTING ══════════════════════════════════════════ • Price anomaly — suspiciously high or low vs. real market data • Image fraud — same photo across multiple listings with different model numbers • MPN mismatch — model number does not match the description • Seller risk — bulk-listing patterns, stock-photo signals, secondary-market indicators • Part-type risk — networked, firmware-bearing and obsolete parts flagged automatically VERDICT: BUY / VERIFY / BLOCK with risk score 0–100 ══════════════════════════════════════════ THREE RECORD TYPES — ONE FOR EACH MOMENT ══════════════════════════════════════════ • Before purchase: CT Supplier Exception Record (€29) Pre-approval control record with manager-approval trail and audit-retrievable evidence. • Already purchased, before reimbursement: CT Reimbursement Justification Record (€49) Post-purchase documentation when finance asks for justification on a card transaction. • Problem after delivery: CT Evidence Pack (from €199) Consolidated record for incidents, disputes, audit inquiries or warranty investigations. ══════════════════════════════════════════ WHO USES CT ULTRAMAX ══════════════════════════════════════════ • Maintenance engineers buying urgent spare parts when authorized supply is unavailable • Plant managers approving emergency exception purchases from secondary markets • MRO procurement teams sourcing obsolete automation hardware • Quality and compliance teams documenting pre-purchase due diligence for ISO 9001 §8.4 and NIS2 supply-chain requirements • Finance controllers reviewing card transactions for non-catalog industrial purchases ══════════════════════════════════════════ SUPPORTED EQUIPMENT ══════════════════════════════════════════ CT analyzes used and surplus industrial automation hardware listed on eBay, including: • Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) • Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and servo drives • Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) and operator panels • I/O modules, communication modules and safety relays • Motion control and process control equipment Compatible with major European and North American automation brands commonly resold on industrial secondary markets. ══════════════════════════════════════════ WHAT EACH RECORD CONTAINS ══════════════════════════════════════════ ✓ Listing snapshot at time of review — URL, price, seller, photos, condition claims ✓ Risk signal review with full decision breakdown ✓ Named manager approval with timestamp ✓ CT Case ID — attachable to PO, expense reimbursement, or audit file ✓ Audit-ready PDF (affidavit-style declaration for internal control evidence) ✓ Public verification URL — validate via API for finance and ERP integration ✓ Permanent retention in the CT record vault ══════════════════════════════════════════ PRO FEATURES ══════════════════════════════════════════ • Full decision record with risk breakdown • Manager approval workflow with documented risk acceptance • Seller evidence request: serial number, real photos, condition, warranty • Team dashboard, shared vault and monthly exception spend report • API validation for ERP integration • Outcome tracking after delivery ══════════════════════════════════════════ INDUSTRIES SERVED ══════════════════════════════════════════ Manufacturing, food and beverage, packaging, plastics, metalworking, water treatment, automation repair operations. ══════════════════════════════════════════ IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES ══════════════════════════════════════════ CT reviews listing-level risk only. CT does not physically inspect, authenticate, certify, insure or guarantee the part. Each Record documents the pre-purchase review process — not the physical condition of the item. CT supports compliance controls referenced in ISO 9001 Clause 8.4 (Control of externally provided processes, products and services) and NIS2 Article 21 (supply-chain security measures). CT is not a certification body and does not issue formal certifications. ══════════════════════════════════════════ CT Ultramax creates the pre-purchase audit record that protects engineers and managers when someone asks: "Why did you approve that purchase?" Documentation, before money leaves the company.
