Companies with fixed assets spread among multiple facilities are looking for solutions in managing these fixed assets under one system. Great American Group has combined its world-class services into an integrated offering, GA Trax, which is a secure, cloud-based web portal. The GA Trax portal provides a seamless approach to help our clients identify, value, redeploy, record maintenance for, and dispose of surplus or idle fixed assets. Clients only need access to the Internet - there are no servers to buy, no additional networks to be installed.

ASSET IDENTIFICATION
We provide facility audit and inventory reporting services. When changes occur within an organization—such as acquisitions, divestitures, consolidations, mergers, or outsourcing—there is often a need for reconciliation of installed or stored assets. Our equipment experts conduct hundreds of onsite assessments each year, and GA Trax provides the comprehensive post-site reporting. This allows stakeholders to gain greater visibility into their manufacturing or inventory base.

APPRAISAL AND VALUATION
Ever wonder what your equipment is worth today? Whether for asset-based loans, leasing, boot collateral financing, tax purposes, or international asset transfers, the need for valuation and appraisal requirements is ongoing. GA has over 15 years of valuation expertise and 39 years of disposition experience in the following areas: Machinery and Equipment, Real Estate, Intellectual Property, Retail/Wholesale/Industrial Inventories, Financial Reporting, and Tax and Advisory Services.

ASSET REDEPLOYMENT
Asset redeployment is very important in today’s changing corporate environment. Whether it is a total facility closure or a need to redeploy a surplus piece of equipment, GA Trax helps clients simplify this process. All fixed assets are posted to GA Trax and interested parties within the organization use the system to request chosen assets to be transferred to another part of the company, maximizing their utilization and reducing unnecessary spending. The client not only has control over the redeployment process, but can also avoid purchasing a new piece of equipment that may have been idle in another facility.

RECORD MAINTENANCE
GA Trax offers clients the ability to manage and record maintenance activity all on one system. Clients set up maintenance schedules for each fixed asset and the system will automatically generate email reminders when service is due. Stakeholders have the ability to monitor maintenance activity to ensure each fixed asset is being maintained according to schedule because we all know our equipment can’t make us money if it’s idle!

ASSET DISPOSITIONS
GA Trax offers clients the ability to manage the disposition of surplus fixed assets through their portal with the click of a button. GA provides a variety of tactics to dispose of surplus or idle assets and inventory. Our core strength remains understanding used equipment markets and developing the right method to extract maximum value. Our flexible processes and technology allow us to handle the sale of single assets as well as multiple facilities. We utilize live/Webcast auctions, online sale events, liquidations, and sealed bid sales in a variety of combinations tailored to our clients’ specific needs. Our marketing programs use both traditional and the newest web strategies to attract a global buying audience. GA Trax offers clients the ability to manage the disposition of surplus fixed assets through the system. Once the fixed asset is approved for sale, a GA Trax associate will be automatically notified and we will work with the client to generate the highest possible returns under the client’s terms.
