Process Overview
PartBridge.com allows users to buy and sell capital and expensed equipment (such as test equipment, furniture and office equipment).
To advertise excess capital and expensed equipment for sale, a PartBridge.com user posts specific information about each item. Posting can be done either by uploading a text file to the PartBridge.com website, or by manually entering information about an item at the Postings [My Excess] window.
Buyers of capital and expensed equipment use the tool's search functions to find equipment to buy. Matches between Buyers' searches and Sellers' postings result in Buy Opportunities.
Buying and selling capital and expensed equipment on PartBridge.com differs from buying and selling direct materials on PartBridge.com in two significant ways:
- The Asset Leveling Tool does not find matches between Buyers' shortages and Sellers' excess equipment systematically, and
- Sellers do not search for Sell Opportunities for capital and expensed equipment.
A transaction is opened when the Buyer submits an offer to the Seller, and a transaction closes when the Seller approves or declines the Buyer's offer.
An open transaction is autocanceled if the Seller does not approve the Buyer's offer within 28 calendar days.
Companies post shortages for internal purposes only. For example, PartBridge.com reports may be used to track the equipment that a company has listed to buy.
