Asset Recovery: A Hoarders Worst NightmareFor all the hoarders out there, the following may disturb you…A branch of Supply Chain Management known as Asset Recovery has recently emerged into the market. With the downfall of the economy, many organizations have closed their doors, down-sized or merged. In every scenario, an immense amount of corporate assets are lying around: computers, servers, desks, chairs, and everything else that occupies corporate offices. In order to combat hoarding and waste, Asset Recovery adds control and coordination to a messy situation.By definition, Asset Recovery is the process of maximizing the value of unused or end of life assets through effective reuse or divestment. In other words, this is considered a hoarder’s worst nightmare!This white glove service involves the coordination of individuals entering an organization (often high-rise and low-rise corporate building), packaging up corporate assets and bringing them to a central location. From that location, shipments can be consolidated into full-truck loads, and distributed to regional markets or a final destination. This consolidation process reduces the transportation cost per unit and leaves room for liquidation, recycling, reusing or scraping.As there will always be companies closing their doors, down-sizing, or merging, asset recovery will continue to grow and add value to products that seem to have past their prime. So for all those hoarders out there, you don’t need a TV show or therapy to help you with your hoarding, just stop by the Supply Chain Department at GlobalTranz and get a dose of Asset Recovery!
