Dovebid is a global company that has been assisting government agencies, financial institutions and corporations in getting maximum return from their capital assets and surplus inventory. For over six decades, Dovebid has been conducting industry-specific auctions thereby selling millions of individual lots. Many notable companies have made use of DoveBid’s asset management services. These include Apple Computers, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, Xerox and IBM. Laptop computers, office equipment and transportation vehicles are a few examples of assets sold via Dovebid auctions.

With such vast auction experience, Dovebid has a great understanding of the process involved in gaining maximum return on a capital asset. Being an international company with over 40 locations worldwide, Dovebid has all the resources to manage the auction process – be it for a single item like an IBM laptop, or for bulk lots over various locations.

With the use of DoveBid’s Surplus Asset Management program, companies with idle or surplus stock can regain the value of the stock by either redeploying the assets or disposing of the assets effectively. Many companies have idle capital assets taking up valuable warehouse space. Because these assets are not made visible, they are not put to work and their value is not utilized. With the Surplus Asset Management system, an idle asset such as an IBM laptop will be discovered and made visible though an extensive site visit.

Idle and surplus assets can then be recorded on an easy to view, on-line inventory. Once visibility of idle and surplus assets is achieved it is easier for the company to put these assets to work in other areas of the organization. Over and above the web-bases function, DoveBid’s Managed Services also offers comprehensive staff training and can put into place a set of best practices. An area of an organization that has a surplus of IBM laptops, for example, will be identified and these idle capital assets can then either be redeployed elsewhere within the organizational structure or can be disposed of via sale to the external market.

DoveBid’s industry-specific auction services also offer numerous benefits to buyers. With the use of Webcast technology, on-location auctions are broadcast live over the Internet and are therefore made accessible to remote buyers. These buyers are able to view most assets through digital photographs posted on the Internet, or can make use of a 360 degree virtual tour. These tours are available in multiple languages. A remote buyer, who would like to have an asset such as an IBM laptop personally viewed, can make use of DoveBid’s Inspection Services.
