The Inspeq Platform is a modular operational layer designed to sit alongside existing enterprise systems, giving organisations control-tower oversight of inspections, work order execution, and fleet operations without disrupting established workflows.Across mining, construction, energy, utilities, insurance, and heavy industry, frontline teams face growing pressure to keep assets running safely while making faster decisions as margins continue to tighten. While most large organisations already operate complex CMMS, EAM, and ERP systems, inspections and field workflows remain fragmented, paper-based, or disconnected, with critical issues captured late or slow to reach decision-makers.To close this gap, Krank has developed the Inspeq Platform. Rather than replacing existing CMMS, EAM, or ERP systems, Inspeq acts as an operational control layer that connects frontline activity directly to management and decision-makers. It unites inspections, work order execution, sites, accountable teams, and asset-level intelligence into a single, real-time environment, giving management control-tower visibility across fleets, sites, and operations, while integrating cleanly with the systems organisations already rely on.Designed with the frontline in mindThe Inspeq Platform has been designed around frontline reality: busy sites, harsh environments, limited connectivity. It connects inspection workflows, remote oversight, and real-time task coordination into one unified operational environment, providing continuous visibility across assets, sites, and teams.“We have developed the Inspeq Platform around what frontline teams need most on the job. It helps them catch issues faster, assign work instantly, and deliver the right insights to the right people at the right time,” shares Khurram Mumtaz, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Krank.  By integrating with existing systems rather than replacing them, Inspeq removes a major barrier to digital transformation. Teams can modernise inspections and operations without disrupting workflows or retraining their workforce. Introducing Remote Work OrdersAmong its headline capabilities is Remote Work Orders, a remote inspection and work order execution capability designed for busy, often disconnected environments. It allows senior inspectors or highly qualified technicians to remotely conduct and oversee inspections, guiding junior inspectors, operators, sales teams, or mechanics around a machine in real time.Using a live video call, senior personnel can direct exactly what needs to be inspected, where to focus, and what evidence to capture, while completing the inspection or work report remotely via the desktop platform. High-definition images and video are captured live on site, while all findings are recorded centrally as the inspection unfolds.This approach enables scarce senior expertise to be deployed across far more inspections, extending technical oversight across a much wider geographical footprint without requiring senior technicians to be physically present at each site. The result is reduced travel, faster inspection turnaround times, and more consistent inspection quality across distributed operations.“Remote Work Orders were developed to address a practical operational constraint: experienced inspectors cannot be everywhere at once. By enabling senior technicians to conduct and oversee inspections remotely, we allow teams to complete more inspections with the same level of rigour, while reducing travel time, cost, and disruption. It changes how inspection capacity can be scaled across large, distributed operations,” adds Mumtaz.Inspections connected directly to work order executionInspeq’s inspection capabilities streamline how inspections are performed, captured, and acted upon. High-quality visual evidence, structured checklists, and immediate reporting ensure inspection outcomes are immediately available and actionable.Crucially, inspections no longer end as static reports. Inspection findings feed directly into live work order execution, enabling faster defect resolution, clearer accountability, and stronger coordination between field teams and management.A unified operational ecosystem, without disruptionPre-start checks, maintenance schedules, discrepancy reporting, asset histories, and work order execution all sit within the Inspeq Platform, giving managers live visibility as work unfolds. By acting as an operational layer above existing enterprise systems, Inspeq improves data quality, accelerates response times, and reduces administrative overhead without forcing organisations to replace the tools they already trust.  Krank has developed the Inspeq Platform with frontline feedback in mind, to create a connected operational hub, combining inspection workflows, remote oversight, mobile-first design, and offline capability. The result is a scalable platform that eliminates fragmented processes, accelerates decision-making, and gives organisations confidence that frontline activity, asset data, and operational insight are always aligned.Discover how Inspeq transforms frontline operations at   getinspeq.com.

Krank joins forces with Dayim to launch its GCC presence, delivering the Dayim Marketplace in under a month, a platform that puts the company in control of its used equipment sales and connects buyers to inventory worldwide.Krank, a global leader in heavy equipment trading technology, has made its Middle East debut through a strategic partnership with Dayim, one of Saudi Arabia’s foremost heavy equipment trading and services companies. As of August 2025, the partnership has already delivered the Dayim Marketplace, a fully integrated platform launched in just four weeks.Designed to give Dayim full control of its used equipment sales, the Dayim Marketplace combines global reach with precise audience targeting at the click of a button. Listings can be made visible worldwide, limited to the GCC, or offered only to a curated list of customers. This transparent, flexible model replaces broker-dependent processes, helping Dayim reach more buyers efficiently and drive higher returns.A shared vision from day oneThe partnership began when David McCarthy, Head of Sales at Krank, approached Dayim with a solution to a long-standing challenge: how to efficiently manage older fleet inventory during refresh cycles while retaining full control over how and to whom it is presented.  “Working with Dayim has been a fantastic collaborative experience which has been a team effort from the start. Together we’ve delivered a cutting-edge marketplace in record time, reflecting what’s possible when two forward-thinking companies combine their expertise,” McCarthy explained.Krank’s first GCC stepThis launch marks Krank’s first step into the GCC, a region that both companies see as rich with opportunity.“With Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 driving unprecedented infrastructure investment, the scale of opportunity in the GCC is immense,” McCarthy said. “Having Dayim as our first customer in the region is a huge accolade and the perfect foundation for further growth.”For Dayim, the new platform is both a marketplace and a strategic tool for building relationships, improving transparency, and reaching new buyers both domestically and internationally. “Dayim Equipment Rental is proud to partner with Krank to launch our new used equipment marketplace while bringing transparency, efficiency, and global reach to our resale operations.

Elebbre’s month-long Krank marketplace tech-powered auction saw a host of records broken, compared to traditional sales channels, including:Seven-fold increase in website traffic, with bidders from over 75 countries.47% of lots sold above their reserve.Double the sales success ratio compared to a traditional auction.Latin American remarketing experts Elebbre’s recent online auction of used mining and construction equipment on behalf of global construction giant Bechtel has been given an enthusiastic vote of approval. The month-long auction – the largest 100% online auction to date in Latin America – was powered by UK SaaS technology company Krank’s marketplace platform. Using the Krank platform allowed Elebbre to manage the entire auction and sale process itself, rather than relying on the support (and associated costs) of third-party auction houses.The auction generated total sales revenues of $2.8 million and drew bidders from over 75 countries. Of the 152 lots put up for sale – which included dump trucks, boom trucks, cranes and excavators – almost half (47%) were sold, roughly double the sales ratio of a traditional auction. Unlike with traditional auctions, even when Elebbre’s 30-day sale was over – that wasn’t the end of proceedings. The use of vital runner up data – information that Elebbre wouldn’t have access to if it had used a traditional auction house – allowed it to sell a further 24 machines. ‘The Krank platform exceeded expectations. The auction performance was excellent and helped to maximize the value of our used equipment.’“In the past we used traditional methods, including third party auctions and direct sales for disposals of this kind,” said Elebbre’s Co-Founder and General Manager, Moisés Nunez. “But for a range of reasons – including cost, lack of sale data provided by third party auctions and the carbon footprint of moving machines to auction sites, we decided to take a different approach.”Streamlined processes“For this sale we were attracted to Krank's reputation of providing cutting-edge and efficient platforms for equipment disposal,” Nunez continues. “We expected Krank's platform to enhance our selling process by providing a user-friendly interface, and it did attract a broader range of buyers. In fact, the Krank platform exceeded our expectations. The auction performance was excellent and helped to maximize the value of our used equipment.”Benefits for both buyer and sellerFeedback from bidders was overwhelmingly positive. The user-friendly interface and transparent processes on Elebbre’s Krank-powered platform were both cited as making it easier for bidders to participate in the auction. From Elebbre’s perspective, the buyer data it captured is proving to be valuable for understanding market trends and buyer behavior, information it can leverage in future equipment transactions.Cost savings ‘substantial’“With no auctioneer fees to absorb, the cost savings are substantial compared to traditional methods,” continues Nunez. “Krank's auction platform also eliminated the need and associated costs of transporting equipment to physical auction sites. This contributed to a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional auctions.”Valuable equipment disposal tool“Our overall impression of using the Krank marketplace platform to sell equipment has been overwhelmingly positive,” concluded Nunez. “Its effectiveness, user satisfaction and the financial benefits it offers make it an invaluable tool for our equipment disposal needs.”Elebbre is now preparing for its next auction which it will be launching in December and closing 14th December 2023 – please find more details here: https://www.elebbre.com/
