Ritchie Bros.\u2019 360-degree inspection view feature is now available to all Ritchie Bros. auctions in Europe. The feature allows interested buyers to virtually inspect the machine – as if they were standing in front of it. We asked Alessandro Nucci, Director of Operations, to share more about this new, cool feature.   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ciao Alessandro! Tell us why Ritchie Bros. developed this feature.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince COVID-19, we saw a big shift to buying online at our auctions and marketplaces. In this day and age, machinery buyers appreciate having good virtual tools to inspect before they buy – perhaps now more than ever. Our website already offers detailed descriptions and hundreds of photos and videos of the machines. With 360-degree inspection view, we are taking this a step further.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it, and how does it work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe feature provides a rich digital experience for our customers when they\u2019re considering a purchase at our auctions. The 360 View comprises a photographic walk-around view around and inside the vehicle. The user can drag, rotate, and zoom in to any angle they want to see. It\u2019s super easy and fun to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what you see when starting the virtual 360 inspection. By clicking on the orange buttons, you get a zoomed-in, 360\u00b0 overview of the machine.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis extra feature allows for an even better virtual inspection, which gives buyers more confidence, which is also good for sellers. Of course, an interested buyer can still come to the Ritchie Bros. yard and inspect the machine in person,\u201d said Alessandro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
