Definition of Risk: “Bad things happen, people could get blamed” or “Good things happen, people may not know.” Risk Management challenges and performance objectives go hand-in-hand for a global organization, post 9/11 and post Sarbanes Oxley, taking everything from Governance Performance, Compliance, Fraud, Cyber Crime, Concept Theft, Workplace Discrimination and Confidentiality Breaches into account as contemporary threats in today's business world.

The new standard. The original concept of SalvageSale was simple but revolutionary: create an online marketplace for salvage buyers and sellers to come together in a transparent environment and let them determine fair market value; allow product expertise and technology to bring more buyers to each auction. Today, the genesis of SalvageSale has evolved into the gold standard: our nationwide services network, global marketplace and consistently proven results makes us the trusted partner to insurance professionals, risk managers and asset managers. Global reach redefines competition. Historically, salvage auctions were conducted at the local level. This meant a limited number of buyers participated in each sale, often leaving the seller with only a fraction of the product's fair market value. And most salvage and surplus buyers lacked access to a predictable source of supply. By connecting sellers - insurance companies, transportation companies, retailers, corporate asset managers - with a vast source of domestic and international buyers, SalvageSale has created the preeminent salvage and surplus marketplace. By matching a reliable source of salvage and surplus with buyers from all over the world, the SalvageSale marketplace enables free market competition and delivers greater returns. With each sale, SalvageSale applies its proprietary bidXchangeTM auction format, which ensures fair competition among bidders and full visibility for all sellers. First, we create a detailed product listing that showcases the product's features and history. For specialized products, our highly skilled buyer outreach department brings in new buyers by searching for potential markets and product applications. For commodity products, our market makers tap into our global base of buyers who have expressed an interest in a specific product category. In the auction, integrity is the fundamental element. Both buyers and sellers can watch the auction unfold real-time. And when the auction closes, we ensure both the buyer and seller are equally protected by handling all payments through an escrow account. In addition, detailed reporting on the auction results is made available to the seller. Our seller members include: Property and casualty insurance, marine insurance, inland marine insurance, shipping lines, railroads, trucking companies, retail distributors, manufacturers, and corporate asset managers. Our buyer members include: Both domestic and international product end-users, brokers, re-manufacturers, used equipment buyers, distributors, and purchasing managers.
