Introduction

Tech Equipment Sales, Inc. reduces the cost and liabilities of technology ownership through managed end-of-life programs for redeployment, remarketing, donation and disposal.

Company Background

We have been in the excess equipment retrieval and disposal field since 1972 and have found that there is an ever growing need for our services. Excess equipment presents a real challenge today. As companies race to keep their technological edge competitive, energy is focused on the front end of any product life cycle. By its very nature, aquisition is more interesting than disposition. But this influx of technology creates a corresponding and often overlooked increase in decommissioned assets. Over time technogly assets, such as lab, industrial, and test equipment tend to pile up and consume valuable space.

For the most part, underused, decommissioned equipment remains out of sight and out of mind. But these rapidly depreciating, aged assets can pack a major financial punch. Research concludes that any organization annually removing as few as 3,000 computers can save as much $1 million  per year in unnecessary storage and disposal costs by implementing an effective asset disposition program. Perhaps even more importantly, such programs carry the added benefit of reducing business risk. A multitude of important decisions need to be made.

Is on-site or off-site storage more efficient? How much space will be required? What about transportation? Inventory control? Which pieces should we hold onto? Which should we sell or have recycled? Where can we find prospective buyers? How do we establish market value? It can be confusing, fustrating, and enormously time-consuming.
