Explore how Rishabh Software built a web-based farm machinery rental marketplace for an NZ-based company to centralize listings and bookings, automate tracking, cut hours of manual reporting each week, and increase customer retention.
Project Overview
A NZ-based company was on the lookout for a technology partner who could assist with farm equipment rental marketplace platform development. As a web-based portal, the solution would act as a centralized hub for businesses & individuals to hire and rent farming equipment for an array of needs. We understood the requirement and built a robust platform for the exact needs of the customer.
Challenges
- Lack of visibility across booking requests
- No insight into past & current orders
- Tedious & manual processes
- Lengthy rental cycles & inability to manage downtime
Solution
With the vision to build a unified platform that brought lenders & hirers together, our team built a web-based farm equipment rental platform that served as a marketplace for dealers, contractors & end customers (farmers) to list and hire farming products for an array of needs. The platform listed products across trucks, hedge cutters, fertilizer screening machines, tractor mowers and more.
For a smooth customer experience & better engagement, many useful features were incorporated during agricultural machinery rental platform development. For example, with the smart search filters, hirers can easily select a product based on their preferred vendor and book the product on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis. Also, customers can easily track their orders & related information, while the lender can stay in the know of bookings.
