What It Is

Hilditch Connect is a medical equipment valuation portal launched by Hilditch Connect Ltd. Its core value lies in turning Hilditch Group’s long-running medical equipment auction sales data, appraiser expertise, and market research into online residual value curves and professional valuation services. It is not a general-purpose asset management SaaS, but a vertical data tool for medical equipment financing, leasing, procurement, disposal, and lifecycle management.

Core Features and Data Foundation

The platform’s flagship feature is Valuation Graphs: users select an equipment category and brand, enter the original purchase price, and generate a depreciation/residual value chart for the next 15 years. The charts allow users to view forecast values by year and zoom in to monthly values. The main text mentions that the platform can provide more than 160 valuation graphs, while the company profile page says it covers over 80 categories of medical equipment. The figures differ slightly in scope, but both indicate broad coverage. The data comes from a pricing database built from Hilditch Group and its affiliated companies selling more than 2,500 pieces of medical equipment per month across Europe. Price points are updated every three months, and market trend reports are issued to subscribers every six months.

Pricing and Service Model

Access to the website requires a subscription, but specific pricing, plan tiers, or seat limits are not disclosed. One-to-one valuation services are charged by appraisers at a fixed rate based on the number of assets. In addition to online residual value curves, the platform also offers residual value appraisals, current market value assessments, business transfer value assessments, on-site asset appraisals, inventory and valuation services, and more. It can be used for anything from a single device to a hospital-level asset portfolio.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are clear data provenance, based on real medical equipment auction and resale markets, plus quarterly reviews by a professional valuation team. It is highly useful as a reference for lease residual values, financing calculations, and equipment replacement budgets. The limitations are that the public pages do not explain third-party integrations, APIs, team permissions, security certifications, or specific subscription fees, and there is no visible free trial information. Organizations that need systematic asset registers, procurement approval workflows, or integration with financial systems may still need to use it alongside other software.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited to medical equipment leasing companies, financial institutions, hospitals, private clinics, and medical asset disposal teams that need to assess future equipment value, disposal proceeds, and replacement cycles. Access from China is unknown, and payment methods are not disclosed. If using it from China, it is advisable to first confirm website accessibility, contract payment methods, the geographic applicability of the data, and whether local alternative valuation firms or second-hand medical equipment transaction data services can provide supplementary references.
