Industrial surplus auction software for plant closures and idle assets.
Turn surplus machinery, full plant closures, and idle inventory into clean, well-attended sales. Unovance Global gives you inspection-ready catalogs, verified B2B buyers, and rigging logistics — on a branded platform you own.
Industrial surplus rarely sells itself. A retired stamping press, an idle CNC line, or an entire decommissioned plant carries weight, serial history, and removal cost that a procurement buyer must understand before they commit. The selling reality is logistical as much as it is competitive: who can inspect, who can fund, and who can get the asset off the floor by the lease deadline.
Unovance is built for exactly that. Every lot carries the data buyers demand — make, model, hours, condition grade, and inspection photos — alongside weights, dismantling notes, and removal windows. Bidders are qualified with deposits and credit checks, so a six-figure line goes to someone who can pay and remove it, not a tire-kicker.
And because the platform is yours, the procurement contacts you build across closures and surplus rounds stay in your database — a recurring B2B buyer base you own, instead of an audience you rent from a marketplace.
Built for the realities of selling heavy assets.
Inspection-ready cataloging
Capture make, model, serial, hours, condition grade, and inspection photos per lot — the data procurement buyers need before they commit capital.
Verified B2B bidders
Qualify buyers with resale certificates, deposits, and credit checks so a six-figure CNC line goes to a bidder who can actually pay and remove it.
Rigging & transport built in
Attach removal deadlines, dismantling requirements, weights, and logistics partners to each lot so settlement does not stall on the loading dock.
Formats for full-plant clearance
Run timed events for long-lead inspection, webcast sales for live floor energy, and sealed-bid rounds for an entire plant sold as one block.
Frequently asked questions
What auction formats work best for industrial surplus?+
Timed auctions suit large machinery that buyers need days to inspect and arrange transport for. Webcast auctions bring live-floor urgency to a full plant liquidation. Sealed-bid rounds work when a consignor wants the entire facility sold as a single block to one operator. All three run from the same Unovance platform.
How do you handle inspection and removal for heavy assets?+
Each lot carries inspection windows, photos, serial and hour data, plus removal deadlines, weights, and dismantling notes. You can attach approved riggers and transport partners so buyers price the cost of getting the asset off the floor before they bid.
Can I verify buyers before they bid on high-value lots?+
Yes. Unovance lets you require deposits, resale certificates, and credit qualification, and you can gate specific high-value lots to approved bidders only — so a plant closure clears to buyers who can fund and remove the equipment.
Do I keep ownership of my buyer relationships?+
Yes. Unovance is built on ownership: the platform is branded as yours, and the bidder data, procurement contacts, and buyer relationships belong to you — not a marketplace that rents you its audience and keeps the list.
