Maximize your DC liquidation sales potential and protect your assets by utilizing our proven liquidation management services.

Liquidating existing MHE assets can be a daunting task. Not only must you sell the equipment, but you must also consider the requirements for exiting the facility. How fast can it be torn out, and what about the facility or space that you are vacating? Floors, electrical runs, air systems, work stations, temporary offices, network cabling, etc. all have to be removed or addressed per the owners exit specifications.

One of the hardest parts of a distribution center liquidation and de-installation is the documentation and taking inventory of every asset and being able to knowledgeably highlight the high value items. Our experts can help with that as well as run the bid process in a way that maximized the overall sale of your assets at the highest possible rate of return.

Ask An Expert

Our distribution center liquidation and deinstallation plan includes in four basic steps:

  • Assessment: We begin by taking a comprehensive assessment of all the equipment in your facility. The equipment will then be categorized by residual value and documented in a spreadsheet known as the Bill of Material (BOM). This list is then reviewed to confirm the BOM accuracy.
  • RFQ: A request for quotation (RFQ) outlines all the requirements that you and the re-use vendors must follow during the bidding and de-installation process.
  • Bidding: The RFQ will be extended to vendors to open the bidding on the MHE. Vendors will be invited to walk through the facility to assess the equipment for sale. Vendors are given a deadline to submit their bids. An enVista project manager (PM) will manage the collection of the bids. There will be several rounds of bidding until you agree to accept final bids or the deadline occurs. Winning bidders are then notified and the equipment de-installation begins.
  • Management: An enVista PM will be appointed to manage the entire de-installation from start to finish. The PM will ensure that the work is completed on time and within project guidelines. The PM will enforce and ensure safety and plant standards and has the final sign-off responsibilities for de-installation close-out.
