Steps Ahead: Planning For Future Equipment Surpluses From The Point Of Procurement

By Justin Kadis, Business Development, Federal Equipment Company

Planning and preparation are the keys to success in any enterprise, and making plans for the possibility of equipment liquidation from the time of procurement is no exception. There are clear advantages to planning for your facility’s future, especially if it includes the opportunity for cost savings or a new way to look at purchasing budgets.

Those that embrace a forward-looking mindset from the point of procurement are at an advantage. The most strategic way to cover all equipment bases is to align with a veteran industry organization versed in all steps of the equipment process. Such a strategic partnership will help manufacturers to see the bigger picture and think well beyond procurement — even at that initial stage — to consider the next phase, from the machine’s usage and life on the facility floor, until the time it is no longer useful, and can be reintroduced into the market.
