ModusLink has been working with technology leaders for many years to provide a more profitable disposition alternative, helping companies to liquate repaired, refurbished and excess products and materials by selling them via online auctions to prequalified buyers in tertiary markets, using our auction portal, ModusLinkAuction.com.
Our auction services can accommodate a wide range of client products, parts and business needs and include both end-user liquidation using a business-to-consumer model and broker auctions for business-to-business models.
The Online Auction Service offers full management of all required processes, including:
- restoring products to their highest quality state for sale with repair, refurbish and rebrand
- customized auction site design
- product cataloging
- buyer invite and registration
- payment processing and collection
- market intelligence
- performance reporting
- coordination of shipping, transportation and customs clearance processes
Using this service, ModusLink can sell restored products under your own brand; or through our “white label” program—which provides clients with an alternative brand to prevent competition with the primary brand and channel partners.
Our clients frequently receive bids up to three times higher than if they limited their scope to include only the traditional post-market buyers. The combination of moving from a reactive to a proactive disposal strategy and the addition of multiple direct and multiple indirect channels has proven for many clients to be a valuable advantage that increases return on assets, lowers total supply chain costs and enables companies to focus resources on their core competencies.
