Consignment & Direct Purchase

Three paths, one goal: maximizing the value of your inventory.

Not all stock is suited to the same circulation method. Differences in delivery timelines, pricing strategies, and control priorities mean that a more flexible, tiered approach is often the most efficient.

At Partswake, we support three ways to activate your inventory—available individually or in combination for maximum adaptability:

Model 1: Direct Purchase
(One-Time Buyout)

Fast exit · Immediate return · Simplified execution

We can directly purchase qualifying inventory—ideal for situations where you want to quickly dispose of stock, free up balance sheet space, or lack the resources for long-term management.

Typical Use Cases

  • Year-end clearance or asset impairment adjustments
  • End-of-life, near-expiry, or declining-liquidity components
  • Teams with limited inventory management capacity or restricted time windows

You’ll Get

  • Pre-agreed purchase price with upfront confirmation and rapid fund recovery
  • One-time delivery with no need for follow-up matching or tracking
  • Automatically generated transaction records for easy financial filing and audit compliance

The Direct Purchase model is designed for inventory disposal needs where “exit efficiency” and “operational simplicity” are the top priorities.

Once you upload your stock, the system will automatically assess its eligibility for direct purchase and provide a tailored proposal.

Model 2: Consignment
(Platform-Managed Circulation)

Visible & Transparent · Ongoing Returns · Retain Control

In the consignment model, your inventory remains in your possession while the platform manages matching, buyer engagement, and transaction execution.

This approach is ideal for stock with strong market potential but flexible timelines for closing a deal.

Typical Use Cases

  • Frequent procurement signals, but fragmented demand or delayed decision-making
  • High-value components with low substitutability and long lifecycles
  • Enterprise inventory strategies aiming to maximize unit value at a controlled pace

You’ll Get

  • Real-time visibility into stock status and RFQ interaction history
  • Instant revenue recognition for each transaction, with the ability to set floor prices and release in stages
  • Freedom to move unsold items into other processing models at any time—such as Direct Purchase or Smart Matching

The Consignment model is built for strategic inventory managers seeking both value maximization and pace control.

The system continuously monitors matching signals to connect you with the right buyers at the right time.

The Smart Circulation model supports inventory holders who favor a cautious, phased approach.

It uses platform feedback to ensure every release happens at a controlled pace, with clear expectations and minimal risk.

Model 3: Smart Circulation
(Structured Matching Path)

Targeted Delivery · Dynamic Probing · Delayed Exposure

Through structured identification and signal-based assessment, the system discreetly introduces your inventory into the procurement network—initiating private engagement only when matching demand is detected.

No public listing. No preset pricing. No immediate commitment to sell.

Typical Use Cases

  • Testing the circulation potential of inventory without confirmed intent to sell
  • Handling incomplete quantities, sample stock, or residual lots
  • Keeping inventory confidential while still responding to inquiries when relevant signals appear

You’ll Get

  • Controlled backend alerts for bids, with full discretion over order acceptance
  • Intelligent detection of procurement signals, minimizing ineffective exposure and repetitive outreach
  • Flexibility to transition into Consignment or Direct Purchase at any time, advancing your strategy in stages

Decision Support Module
(Light-Interaction Component)

Every component has an optimal release moment.
At Partswake, we help you capture that moment—
through structure, pace, and strategy.

Not sure which processing model to choose? We support hybrid strategies—and offer professional guidance.

You can segment your inventory based on value tier, urgency, and processing pace, assigning each type to the most suitable model—Direct Purchase, Consignment, or Smart Circulation.

Our circulation consultants will help you establish clear decision criteria and design an efficient, well-balanced circulation plan.

There’s more than one circulation strategy—the key is starting with the right one.
