  • Catalogue and live stock from your back-office system
  • Reorder from history, saved lists, delivery or collection
  • Integration to your accounts package

In practice, for machinery dealers

For hire companies ordering is booking: dates, depot, delivery or collection, and payment or account. For dealers it is parts and consumables. Either way the flow is the same: what, when, where, pay or charge to account, confirmation by email and text.

Why machinery dealers in particular

  • Your stock is on the marketplace within an hour and on your own site whenever someone remembers.
  • The enquiry goes to the marketplace first, and they charge you for the lead you generated.
  • A buyer searching “used 8 tonne excavator” finds the marketplace, not you.

Typical ticket in your trade: €40,000 to €250,000. One enquiry that comes to you instead of to the machinery marketplace you list on covers a lot of website.
