HSS Hire has launched ProService Marketplace, an extension of its online business that it said is the “UK’s largest online building services proposition.”

The company said the platform is designed to reshape how businesses buy and hire equipment, building materials and fuel, with more than 900 sellers and 50,000 active products available from HSS and other equipment sellers and building merchants. 

Key features of the platform includes proprietary Scope 3 reporting for emissions calculation based on manufacturer information, greener alternative recommendations at the point of order and emissions tracked so organisations can see top emitting products and opportunities for improvement

Meanwhile, businesses can set user access and approval flows so digital paper trails track and store automatically. Users can also set out of offices and temporary points of contact

Real-time visibility on spend across users, sites and projects is also a feature, as well as a commercial insights dashboard to replace spreadsheets and self-analysis.

Dani Hodges, chief commercial officer, HSS ProService, said, “We’re extremely proud and excited to take HSS ProService to market. Having trialled the marketplace with existing customers over the last few months, we’ve seen immediate uptake from a broad range of businesses. We’ve had some fantastic feedback already, and now we’re excited to start building on that community.

“We’re first to market with this and absolutely welcome feedback. Every day, we get input about what people would like to see next, and because we own the marketplace infrastructure, we can react quickly. Anything that customers ask for is our priority.

“Our mission is to provide the ultimate all-in-one marketplace that simplifies and centralises the entire procurement process, from sourcing to supply chain management.”
