Spare Parts Buyers

Parts rooms are valuable to any manufacturing business because they hold spare and replacement parts for the machines that produce. Parts inventory can spiral out of control in a slow creep, and before you know it, there are parts for machines you don’t own anymore taking up space. Vendors offer discounts to double an order, a customer cancels an order, or the forecast is wrong—all of these are ways that inventory levels can get out of hand. Dusty back corners of the parts room are the best places to hide excess inventory. The only problem with that is eventually you’ll run out of space. If you need to get rid of parts or are closing a facility and need to get rid of everything, contact Bycom Industrial Surplus. We are spare parts buyers that specialize in decommissioning parts rooms and cleaning house.

Identify Excess Parts Inventory

Every distributor or manufacturer knows that surplus inventory exists. Identifying and finding it is the tricky part. Parts rooms are a hoarder’s dream come true because nothing is thrown out and it’s all stuck somewhere “just in case we need it later.” It’s a recipe for clutter and a chaotic mess. Some likely causes for surplus parts inventory include the loss of a customer or supplier, a new competitor, the end of a season or product lifecycle, and branch closure. If any of these things happened or are happening, then surplus is building.

Eliminate It

Once you identify where the extra parts are, getting rid of them is the next step. Whether you are shuttering a plant, closing a business, or just purging obsolete parts, the important thing is you have junk you need to get rid of. Bringing in a spare parts buyer like Bycom is the best bet. We will come in and remove everything you want. Make a list or stand there and point at it, whatever works best for you. We’ll come in and take it all, even the shelves.
