The company, founded in 2012, operates an online marketplace for contractors and equipment users through partnerships with 6,000 rental companies in the US.

“We have big goals at BigRentz and we don’t plan to stop at 14,000 supplier locations”, said company CEO Scott Cannon.

“In addition to our goals of supporting our suppliers and growing our network, we’re doubling down on developing and improving technology needed to not only simplify the equipment rental process but also help clients solve other complicated challenges, be those related to staffing, finances or any other problem they may face.”

The company, which received investment from Japanese trading company Itochu in 2020, said its platform allows companies to rent an extensive range of equipment from a single source.

It describes its digital platform as “connective tissue in a fragmented industry, not only redefining equipment procurement but also offering critical project management solutions including staffing and financial services”.

Recently, it announced a partnership with Billd to offer customers finance for purchasing construction materials, equipment and labour.
