The SaaS platform offers a number of tools and services.
An inventory management system can help fleets centralize inventory, get a real-time overview of all assets, trade assets within a network and create a community for various dealers and branches.
The custom web shop can provide an in-house or external-facing network to sell used equipment through a fully branded, mobile-friendly venue. Users will also have access to price indicators, depreciation curves and market and seller trends to help make data-driven decisions.
“These tools have accelerated and standardized the way we manage our lease returns,” said Tara Stryker, director of remarketing services at Volvo Construction Equipment N.A., per the press release. “From an easy-to-use self-inspection tool, detailed inventory management system, and a user-friendly and multilingual e-commerce site, RB Asset Solutions provides us the tools and services we need to optimize our remarketing capabilities in order to increase our machines’ values at every stage of the life cycle.”
