Moffat Consulting & Technology has developed an interactive information application (App) for a leading used construction equipment and machinery supply firm.

European Plant & Machinery Sales (EPMS) is the latest company to have a new interactive iPhone / iPad App developed for them by Moffat, the technology arm of Resale Weekly.

According to EPMS, the App will improve the overall satisfaction and efficiency of potential buyers and sellers in the global marketplace.

The new EPM App, as it has become known, enables the user to browse equipment by category, for example excavators or wheeled loaders, to produce a subset listing of machinery that is displayed in a digital ‘stock book’. The stock book outlines available products classified by model, year, working hours, location, and price. It also includes a recent photograph of each piece of listed construction equipment.

A ‘Services’ section was also built into the EPM App which the user can use to message the workshop, the export office at EPMS, or make a serious enquiry about a particular piece of machinery which then may result in a sale. The EPM App is now available as a free download from the iTunes Store.

Grant McGregor, partner at EPMS, said: “Our business operates on a truly global basis and as a result we need to find ways of reaching that global marketplace. By creating the new EPM App we have made it significantly easier for our buyers and sellers to review our stock list anywhere in the world at any time of day. We have already seen a significant increase in the interest in our stock and products and are confident this new application will increase plant interest and sales.”

Daniel Moffat, managing director at Moffat, said: “We understand how to package and present machinery and construction equipment for sale, having almost 50 years of experience classifying and promoting it for sale through Resale Weekly.

“The EPM App for European Plant and Machinery Sales has already started to change the way the business sells and seeks buyers but we are already refining the software with a number of new functions that will be launched in version 2.0 in a matter of months.”
