MarketPlace Lifecycle – How it works.



Find your parts



Search for parts by OEM, Part Number, ERP or Alias code which can be customised to match your organisation’s identifier codes. Save searches and create demand lists which alert you when parts become available from within your group or on the market. Even check decom lists uploaded by other operating companies in your group in order to maximise the use of owned equipment.



Check Availability



Review your search results in a clear and easy to interpret supply hierarchy. On one page you can view whether your desired part is available within your local op co, your global organisation, the global market, from the OEM, or even if your company plan to decom the part in this or the following 3 quarters. The tool also provides images, weight and dimensions as well as other important data points which give buyers a clear understanding of what they are ordering.



Submit an order



Submit an order to purchase or arrange for owned equipment to be transported to your specified location. MarketPlace supplies hardware at one third of the OEM price by intelligently sourcing assets based on best price and availability. Typically lead times with the OEM takes 12 weeks to supply unforecasted demand, MarketPlace average just 5.
