Maybe look for a collections attorney in the county where the company has offices and inventory and see if the attorney would take the case on a contingency fee basis only if he collects.
If the company is not voluntarily paying the judgment, it is the Sheriff's job to take property and sell it (if they have any). So you might want to talk with the Sheriff if you feel they have inventory.

Get an attorney to help you collect on the judgment. If this is a corporation, the sheriff can go out and levy on any assets that they have. The sheriff will then hold a sale of those assets and give the sale proceeds to you less the costs of the sale, which you will have to pay for initially. That is why it is better to get a lawyer - to ensure that this is done right.
