Last updated July 2026

Illustrative scenario based on typical chemical & process manufacturing operations and published industry benchmarks — not a specific customer.

The outcome

To monetize surplus and idle assets, first establish each item's fair market value, then route it to the highest-recovery channel — internal redeployment, resale, or RFQ. Maintained values every surplus line item and turns it into a priced, sellable position instead of an unknown pile.

The starting point

Process plants with reliability-driven spare-parts inventory where obsolescence and duplication accumulate silently. Surplus equipment and idle spares sit unvalued — so they get scrapped for pennies or ignored, when much of it is worth real money on the secondary market.

What changes

Maintained gives one live view of what's held, what it's worth, and what to do with it. Establish a defensible fair market value for every surplus line item Separate what to redeploy internally from what to sell

The economics

5–15%
Scrapping surplus recovers only 5–15% of original cost, while complete documentation and condition can add 40–50% to secondary-market price.
Amplio
+40–50%
Complete documentation and verified condition can add 40–50% to the secondary-market price of surplus equipment.
Amplio
~25% / year
Excess and obsolete inventory costs the typical distributor about 25% of its value every year in storage, shrinkage, and cost of capital.
