Defining The Problem
Contractors manually call/email multiple rental companies to find the best rental rate. Sites that list equipment for sale don’t offer an easy search. Listings either don’t quote a price or show images of equipment.
- Equipment Parts Sales - Millions of parts lie waste on shelves collecting dust all throughout the US.
- Equipment Sales - Again, there are millions of units that end up going to auctions because retail sellers cannot find ideal buyers locally. Ideal buyers are often located in a different market.
- Equipment Rentals - To avoid purchasing an expensive heavy equipment that may become redundant after a short-term usage, companies now look for rental options. But the obscurity about the players and their practices in the rental segment remains a major obstacle.
