Market
MachineryScanner operate with dealers and companies from the construction machinery, trucks & trailers, farm equipment, attachments, and spare parts industries.
Problem or Opportunity
We are two insiders from the industry. We noticed a gap, a lack of trust and transparency in the machinery industry with an increase of fraud and scammers.
Moreover, we realised there was no real vertical search engine.
Solution (product or service)
To respond to this need, we created the first and only third-party review system dedicated to machinery dealers and the first certification program.
Then we also realised there was no real vertical search engine.
MachineryScanner services allow to save time, save money, and work in a smarter and safer way.
Competitors
MachineryScanner is in a pole position and we keep running but we see several potential huge sectorial competitors out there.
