Fleet Services, which manages the county’s surplus goods, is launching a new inventory management system called Rheaply that will include an online marketplace to make it easy to request surplus items. The initial rollout of the new system in the coming months will be for departmental surplus coordinators, who order items and request surplus goods. Later this year, it will be available for all county employees to request free surplus items for business use.

“We have an internal marketplace where folks can peruse to find items that they need, so they don’t have to come in person anymore,” said Andrew Cronholm, deputy director of Fleet Services. “This will create internal efficiency, it will create a better customer experience, data quality and reporting accuracy.” Read more.
