Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Construction is a trillion dollar industry that is still largely based on legacy analog systems. YardLink sets out to digitise its supply chain management, with an all-in-one solution for procuring tools, equipment, bulk materials, fuel, waste management, and more.

By digitising procurement channels, construction equipment can be priced to effectively pass on significant savings to capital-intensive construction businesses. Beginning as a B2B marketplace for tool rental, YardLink's platform has evolved to manage sourcing and booking, as well as payments, and is able to tackle pain points for contractors and project managers such as verifying supplier reliability, comparing available prices, and tracking all the equipment that is on hire.

The company's challenge will be in upending an outdated and complicated industry rooted in its ways, but its potential to solve such burdening issues has captured strong interest from potential clients and investors alike. Funds secured by the company will support in its goal to be the go-to marketplace for construction supplies.
