Controlling Costs & Maximizing Return with Better Planning
At DOTmed, we strive to simplify the process of auctioning surplus hospital assets. Over 20 years, we've cracked the code on how to efficiently Inspect, Triage, Package, Transport and Sell surplus assets.
Shipping and handling is part of every transaction. Anything that lowers the cost of shipping and handling makes surplus equipment more valuable. Whether you sell the assets in place, As Is/Where Is, or at the auction, freight is an issue.
DOTmed has a relationship with 43 depots across the U.S.A. We receive and hold assets until we have a truckload, then ship the truckload to our auction site. This lowers the freight cost.
Buyers pay more when they can buy multiple items at our auction and save on shipping.
 |
1. Inspect - When your hospital has multiple items, we will typically send someone to inspect the equipment and determine how difficult it is going to be to remove and/or package. |
 |
2. Triage - While at a hospital, we Triage the equipment and determine which items have value and which items should be disposed of locally. |
 |
2. Deinstall - We can deinstall anything from an MRI to an operating room light. |
 |
4. Package - We package items professionally to reduce damaging during transit. |
 |
5. Transport - We schedule a pickup which usually occurs within two to three days. (All items will be packaged in our proprietary shipping containers and staged in a convenient area for pickup.) |
 |
6. Sell - We sell assets on our auction site. DOTmed.com has over 25,000 visitors per day with over 700,000 items posted on most days. |
Our auctions are transparent. Our traffic and our safe buying platform allows for sellers to realize the true value of their equipment.
