Electronic Assembly

Dovebid is a company that offers complete asset management solutions to numerous government agencies, financial institutions and corporations around the world. Services such as asset disposition and redeployment could increase the value of a companies’ capital assets value by millions of dollars. Highly specialized equipment, such as that used in an electronic assembly line, would have to be traded through industry specific auctions. Dovebid therefore provides the stage for these types of auctions to be held.

The assets of many companies are tied up in idle or surplus capital assets. These assets take up valuable warehouse space in some organizations and reduce the value of the company by not being used. Assetzone, DoveBid’s redeployment service, identifies these idle and surplus assets. This asset deployment technology assists companies to use an idle asset elsewhere in the organization. This reinstates the value of the asset to the organization. Unused electronic assembly line equipment, for example, will not be providing value to a company.

If the electronic assembly equipment is made visible throughout the organization, it may be identified as being needed in another division within the organization. This kind of asset management not only adds value to the company but could also save the company from making unnecessary purchases of equipment that it already has. Surplus or not needed assets can then be moved to another system or onto DoveBid’s public system so that it can marketed externally.

A complete asset preparation process that includes evaluating and cataloguing items, is on offer to sellers. Digital photographs of electronic assembly line equipment on auction are displayed on the website for remote buyers to view online. Extensive marketing ensures that there is adequate interest generated for industry-specific auctions. This is done through email and via the Internet, as well as through newspapers, brochures and post cards.

Emails are sent out to buyers who have specified that they are looking for specialized equipment, such as that used on an electronic assembly line, to inform them when these items are up for sale or on auction. Dovebid provides the value-added service of Asset Inspection. This service allows those buyers who are unable to personally view the assets, to make use of experienced inspectors to do so on their behalf. International buyers are able to bid on both in-line and on-location sites through Webcast technology.
