    When you need to buy or sell a used tractor, you turn to TractorHouse. If you need a reefer trailer, you pick up Truck Paper. If your company is looking for a business jet, the first place you look is Controller.com. Whatever the need, Sandhills Global has a platform.

    In addition to providing the most popular platforms for buyers and sellers in the construction, agriculture, commercial transportation, and aviation industries, Sandhills offers behind-the-scenes tools and services to help businesses in these industries succeed, including hosted websites, email, mobile apps, and much more.

    “Your website should be modern, user-friendly, and built for your business. That’s why we offer a free redesign along with migration to a WordPress website. WordPress is a content management system (CMS), which means it’s a tool that makes it easy to update and design your site without any coding or design experience. Plus, when you combine WordPress with all the services Sandhills offers, you get seamless integration and a website that houses your content and listings in one place. Whether you already have a Sandhills site or are considering bringing one over, our design team would love to schedule a call with you.” —Mackenzie Almazan, Design Department Manager.

    Activate OS Equipment Management Solutions

    Sandhills Global’s new Activate OS is a fleet management, inspection, and service work system primarily used by dealers, fleet owners, and rental companies in the construction and agricultural equipment sectors. It offers three solutions: Activate OS Inspection, Fleet, and Provider, to improve uptime, create repeat customers, and generate additional parts and service revenue opportunities.

    QR Code Generator

    Make it easy for buyers to get complete listing details while they’re viewing inventory in person. Sandhills Global’s QR codes provide an instant method for anyone with a smartphone or tablet to find out more about your inventory. Simply access a listing in Inventory Management, click the Generate QR Code button, and you will have a QR code ready for that listing. Potential buyers using that code will then be directed to the listing on your premium hosted website or the corresponding Sandhills publication website.
