Milling Machines

Dovebid is a company that offers asset disposition and redeployment solutions to numerous government agencies, financial institutions and corporations around the world. These services maximize the companies’ capital assets value by sometimes millions of dollars. Highly specialized equipment, such as milling machines, would have to be sold through industry specific auctions. Dovebid therefore provides the platform for these types of auctions to be held, and also provides many other value-added services to both buyers and sellers.

Companies can find new value in used or surplus stock with the implementation of the Dovebid Managed Service’s Surplus Asset Management program. This program is made up of a number of different services, one of which is web-based. This programs works on the basis of making assets in the company visible. In most cases, surplus or idle stock is unaccounted for and is therefore not made visible throughout the entire enterprise. Trained DMS staff works with the company’s representatives to identify these assets and record them in a surplus inventory. Regular site visits ensure that this inventory is up-to-date and complete. A company with milling machines, for example, would make a record of them on the system.

These milling machines are therefore made visible throughout the organization such that a decision can be made as to whether they can be redeployed in another section of the company or if they should be externally disposed. The disposition can be made to an external market by means of a Dovebid industry-specific auction. Dovebid also offers a complete evaluation service of your assets, in order to assist you in making the decision of redeployment or disposition. All valuations are quality-assured and reviewed by at senior management level.

Dovebid offers sellers a complete asset preparation process that includes evaluating and cataloguing the items. A milling machine on auction could be digitally photographed for on-line auctions or for remote buyers to view online. Extensive marketing is also carried out. This is done through email and the Internet, as well as through print media such as newspapers, brochures and post cards.

Dovebid also offers a variety of value-added services for buyers. Buyers who have specified that they are looking for specialized equipment such as a milling machine will receive email alerts when such items are up for sale or on auction. Webcast technology allows international buyers to bid on both in-line and on-location sites. For those buyers who are unable to view assets personally, Dovebid offers Inspection Services. Through these services, a remote buyer can choose to make use of an experienced asset inspector to inspect and review any asset in order to assist with the purchasing decision
