What is the timing from when I submit the request to the pick up date?
Equipment is typically picked up between 7 and 10 business days.
How do I ensure the pick up will be cash positive?
Most pick ups will be cash positive. Here are some tips to ensure your pick up is cash positive: accumulate as many assets as possible from all applicable departments. Consolidate all assets in one area, if possible, to minimize time on site retrieving and loading assets. Please provide reasonable lead time between request and pick up. Remember that Centurion Service Group does not pick up, remove, or sell office or waiting room furniture and IT equipment.
Do the assets need to be prepared in a specific way for the pick up?
Please consolidate the items in a single area, to the best of your ability, to minimize disruption to your operations and for a more efficient pick up.
Who picks up and loads the equipment I am selling?
It is Centurion Service Group's responsibility to load the trucks. This may be a Centurion truck and staff, or it may be a contracted third party vetted by Centurion. It is the customer's responsibility to identify which assets should be loaded and included in the pick up.
Do I need to be present during the pick up?
It is recommended that the person requesting the pick up, or a delegate with knowledge of the equipment to be sent to Centurion, be present to ensure the correct items are picked up.
Joint Commission is scheduled to visit our facility soon and I need to prepare for it by removing surplus equipment from my facility.
Can Centurion Service Group provide extra resources to manage larger scale projects?
Should we remove asset tags or preventative maintenance (PM) tags from the equipment prior to the pick up?
What happens if the proceeds from the sale don't cover the transportation costs?
Based on the specific items in a pick up, there is a chance the shared transportation cost may exceed the shared proceeds. Centurion Service Group will work with you on a quarterly and annual basis to analyze the financial benefits of recurring vs. individual pick ups.
How does Centurion Service Group decide whether the imaging room is sellable or should be scrapped?
Centurion looks at the following: manufacturer and model, date of manufacture, operational vs. non-operational, and MRI/CT: software level
How much time do you need to list, sell, and remove imaging rooms?
The typical time from listing to removal is between 30 and 60 days from the time we receive complete information about the device. However, there are some exceptions, including: if you have a specific removal timeline based on installation date of a new device, delays from the supplier or installer of the new device, or an urgent request to sell and remove the device in less than 30 days. This may be possible; however, it typically results in a lower return without enough time to market the sale.
How does Centurion Service Group provide me with information about my assets sent to auction and value returned?
Centurion customers can access this information on the Seller Portal, which provides transparent and detailed information on every asset picked up, inventoried, photographed, and sold, including post-auction settlement statements. The Seller Portal also has a dashboard with filters to evaluate all assets picked up and sold throughout the history of the relationship. The Seller Portal sits on our inventory management system which allows for real-time visibility.
Where can I see the inventory of assets picked up from my site?
I am ready to proceed with the sale of the imaging room (X-ray, Cath Lab, CT, MRI, etc.). Who should fill out the spec sheet, and is there anything else you need?
The spec sheet needs to be filled out by the technician assigned to the device and then sent to your regional account manager for review. Additionally, several good photos of the device should be sent as well. If requested, Centurion Service Group will send a representative on site to assist in the completion of the spec sheet. Costs associated with this visit will be deducted from your proceeds of the sale of the asset.
