AMS, an Application Service Provider (ASP),
is the premier technology infrastructure supplier to the asset
disposition industry. Many businesses have assets they must
dispose of on a regular basis, and this is often accomplished
via live auctions (car auctions, cattle auctions, heavy equipment
auctions, etc.).
AMS's flagship product, OnLine Ringman®,
enables traditional auction houses to extend bidding and reach
an unlimited number of remote bidders - generally wholesalers
- via the Internet. The AMS patent-pending technology conveys
to the remote bidder the emotion, enthusiasm, and benefit of
the live auction through live audio and real-time video while
enabling him or her to submit bids instantaneously and without
disadvantage.
Other AMS products include: RingManagerSM,
RingCartSM, RingLotsSM,
RingCatalogSM, RingDirectorSM,
RingRepSM, RingLearnSM.
AMS customers run the gamut, from independent private auctions
to publicly traded corporations, including the major players
in the auto auction, capital recovery auction, livestock auction,
and construction & industrial auction businesses.
