  • Sharemat is a web-based and mobile app enabling owners of public works machinery to monitor their equipment fleet from their computer or smartphone, share equipment data with the workshops responsible for servicing it and share equipment by renting it to other professionals when not in use.
  • Tout pour le forage is a marketplace which uses geolocation to find a professional, sell or buy drilling equipment, fittings, accessories and services (training, transport, etc.). Tracktor has designed a peer-to-peer equipment rental platform for construction professionals. 

As a local partner, Eurovia, a subsidiary of VINCI, develops mobility solutions to enhance economic competitiveness and strengthen social bonds by designing, building and maintaining transport infrastructure and fostering urban development.
