Asset E-Auction:
The most popular tool currently available in the market to fetch in better prices for disposal of idle capital assets is e-Auction. This is due to its unique feature which allows the bidders to revise their bids upwards as many times as they want within the pre-defined time to stay in competition. The buyers can revise their bids as many times by incrementing their last bid by a pre-defined value, and finally when the auction is over, the bidder quoting the highest price bags the order. mjunction makes the selling process easier for the buyer giving an end to end solution - from strategies, to training the buyer community and from creating the auction event to generation of reports.
mjunction also offers an e-Tendering solution for the online sale of more complicated assets such as factory premises, operational units- where the now conventional e-Auction process may not be the ideal disposal option.
There are various activities that goes into the above two main solutions. These could be used independently, or in combination and can be classified under Pre-Auction Activities, e-Tender/e-Auction and Post Auction Activities.
