In this edition IronPlanet CMO and former eBay Marketing VP Matt Ackley, along with IronPlanet VP of Seller Marketing Michelle O’Brien, discussed evolving digital processes for marketing and selling in the fast-paced digital age.

Designed for sellers of used heavy equipment, machinery, trucks and other rolling stock this webinar helps you:

• Gain insights into the new IronPlanet platforms available when considering disposition options.

• Insight from former eBay Marketing VP Matt Ackley about how digital marketing and data driven analytics is moulding the future of equipment disposition globally.

• A first view and understanding of IronPlanet's new Make Offer format 

The end of the year is shaping up to be pretty busy for the heavy equipment industry.  At IronPlanet, we have a large number of sales scheduled for December combined with a large amount of inventory in our two new formats - Make Offer and Truck Locator. It takes more than humans to create an efficient marketplace for this inventory.   This is where machine learning comes in.

You may be familiar with the term and you are certainly familiar with the results.  Machine learning drives everything from the results you see for a Google search, to the prices you get on Uber, to the news that appears in your Facebook feed.  In my last post, I talked about using IronPlanet’s data to build a more efficient marketplace.  Well, in the past couple of months we have begun to implement machine learning approaches to bring these data capabilities to life in order to predict and impact pricing and sales outcomes.
