Northcore releases new remarketing application on next generation of Motorola
handheld devices
TORONTO, April 26 /CNW/ - Northcore Technologies Inc. (TSX: NTI; OTCBB: NTLNF), a global provider of asset management technology solutions, announced that it has released a new mobile asset remarketing application for the next generation Motorola handheld devices.
The application extends the powerful asset management suite of products available through GE Asset Manager, LLC, www.GEassetmanager.com, Northcore's joint venture with GE Capital Solutions. Corporations seeking to vend used assets can now benefit from process improvements made possible through the industry's first holistic remarketing platform. This solution combines financial information from internal accounting systems with in-field condition reports and photographs, to provide the fulsome online data set required by prospective buyers. This complete asset information is then automatically provided through Northcore's Asset Seller platform to a variety of public sales channels including client branded used equipment websites and www.GEasset.com. The initial client for the toolset will be the NACCO material handling group, a preeminent manufacturer in the global material handling arena. In this implementation, end of lease customer assets can also be accessed through an intranet of authorized dealers for subsequent resale.
By using this application, customers are able to reduce process times in the asset remarketing lifecycle and provide both asset custodians and potential purchasers with the most current and comprehensive information possible. The solution allows the corporate remarketing function to become pro-active, facilitating instantaneous asset sale events in support of planned reorganizations, liquidations and end of lease dates. The Motorola devices were selected because of their rugged dependability and wealth of mixed-media capabilities.
"Our relationship with Motorola, which we announced in March 2009, has paid dividends with this extension to the Asset Manager product line. Given the efficacy of this technique, we expect this to be the first of several deployments into the important area of at-location processing. As Motorola continues to evolve its family of devices, we will likewise enhance our tools to take advantage of the platform's additional capabilities," said Duncan Copeland, CEO of Northcore Technologies.
