Twenty Locations with $50 Million Inventory Successfully Liquidated; Proceeds Maximized
Client: Large Syndicated Bank Group
Challenge: Maximize Inventory Proceeds by Managing 20-Location Liquidation in Slow Season during Housing Crisis
AccuVal, together with sister company LiquiTec, liquidated a $50 million inventory of one of America's largest independent flooring distributors. The inventory included ceramic tile, hardwood, carpet, vinyl, finishes, accessories, and tools at more than 20 locations in the United States. Maximizing recovery meant seamless execution while simultaneously vacating certain facilities quickly to avoid very high occupancy and labor costs. Adding to the challenge of the liquidation sale was its timing during slow season in one of the worst housing markets in industry history.
AccuVal Approach
First, LiquiTec hired over 100 employees considered critical to the success of the sale while strategically closing facilities to consolidate inventory and eliminate costs. Next, all remaining operating costs were analyzed so overhead could be further reduced. While these steps were being executed, a fully integrated marketing campaign was launched concurrently to motivate qualified buyers from throughout North America to make large purchases quickly.
Bottom Line: $50 Million Inventory Liquidated; Proceeds Maximized
Gross receipts were within a few percentage points of expectations while disposition costs were substantially reduced, thereby maximizing the net amount recovered.
