Challenge

Our client is a pioneer in bringing new technology to their customers, so old equipment quickly becomes obsolete. That, combined with cancelled customer contracts, creates a steady stream of excess inventory – from internal components to finished electronics. With over $50m of surplus spread across many facilities, they needed a comprehensive partner that could flexibly solve their complex challenge.

Solution

To start, Amplio’s AI Appraisal tool created a prioritized disposition strategy designed to maximize total ROI and minimize operational complexity. With a clear plan in hand and incentives aligned with a profit share, Amplio quickly assumed ownership of the excess, removed it from warehouses, and started selling.

By removing inventory within a week of receiving a list, we zeroed out carrying costs at priority sites, saving our client over $7m annually in operational expense. Thanks to our flexible profit share model, our client retained flexibility in their supply chain: if and when the need arises, they can recall inventory that we haven’t yet sold.

Results

With +$4m in gross consignment sales so far, Amplio has delivered at minimum a 7x cash return to the client compared to previous buyout offers while ensuring flexibility and strict compliance.
