How many projects has MERC completed?
Our team has completed nearly 1,000 engagements in 34 states across the country.
How long does an appraisal take?
This varies greatly by quantity. If you need an appraisal on a single piece of equipment this can usually be accomplished in a day. If an entire hospital needs to be appraised, this process could take a significant amount of time depending if an inventory is needed to start the appraisal process. From there we comb through individual lines of equipment to make sure that each asset is appraised accurately.
Does MERC offer an asset management program that can help better manage equipment inventories and financial decision making?
In fact we do. Arrevo is a tool developed to enhance the capital planning process through the use of analytics, uncovering spend reduction opportunities.
Can MERC help us get rid of surplus equipment?

Yes, MERC can provide you with an appraisal of a single piece of equipment. We also can create a pricing structure that allows for you to consistently provide us with single equipment appraisal requests.
Will you come to my location to evaluate my equipment?
