VINCI Construction and Machine26, first steps in a successful collaboration

Machine26 develops digital tools that enable construction companies to issue their own invitations to tender for the sale of their used equipment.

This simplifies the sale-off process and allows them to easily identify the best price within the network of buyers. Obtaining a quote through the Machine26 tool ensures a fair process and that compliance guidelines are respected.

Using this application, VINCI Construction can get a quick overview of the condition and value of its machines. Equipment maintenance documents can be integrated into the sales tools, limiting potential disputes or post-sales claims.

The roll-out in France for public work activities began in 2023, and the first year turned out to be a success, with approximately 170 machines sold. Deployment in other countries is under consideration.
