Asset recovery software

Asset Recovery Software is a business term that refers to a set of software tools or modules used in executing asset recovery transactions, managing buyer relationships, and controlling associated business processes. The key purpose of these tools is to help companies effectively identify, reuse, and divest idle assets.

Although the functionality included in these systems can vary, it commonly includes one or more of the following:

# Asset promotion

Web Accessibility

Asset recovery software can include anything ranging from a small desktop application to an application that resides on a server that can be accessed by many people across diverse geographic locations. The current trend in larger asset recovery departments is toward increased collaboration and web applications.
