We highlight your great work. You get more business.

Our goal here at PlantMiner is to show off your business to our more than 15,000 thousand hirers so you can spend more time doing what you love and less time worrying about where that next job is going to come from.

Why become a PlantMiner supplier?

We know there's a lot of other companies out there promising to send you leads and help you grow your business. So, what makes us different?

1. We're dedicated to qualityshutterstock_211516495.jpg

The best suppliers are on PlantMiner, and construction companies know it. We put your profile at the top of search results based on your location and services. The more detail you provide, the higher you'll rank on our site.

Include information like typical projects you've worked on, specialties offered, safety information, awards and certifications that you hold, minimum hire terms, suitable work/job site for your services, licenses required to operate, fuel types, attachments available and more.

These short unique descriptions ensure unparalleled relevance to both ends of the hire spectrum; finding capable suppliers for the hirer, and qualified work for the supplier.

Suppliers are able to list on active site.

Then we send customers your way.

We send qualified leads to PlantMiner suppliers every day with thousands of items for hire requested - customers who've seen your profile and are expecting your call because you have what they need to complete the project.That's enough to build a business on.

3. We're the most popular website in Australia for plant, equipment and subcontractorsPM-ProductComparisonBlogPost_T1-03.jpg

These are high quality leads from hirers who are ready to get started with their mining and construction projects, and you'll get access to them as a PlantMiner supplier. 

4. You'll gain market exposure to Australia's largest construction marketplace

PM-ProductComparisonBlogPost_T1-04.jpgSince launching in 2013, we've quickly become a destination for Project Managers, Site Foreman, Estimators, and Procurement managers alike, to come to for all things plant, equipment and subcontractor related.

We've been growing rapidly and over 2,500 suppliers have joined, with over 600,000 items for hire.

This is Australia's leading range in two ways;

  • most listed suppliers,
  • most items and packages listed for hire.

 

We're dedicated to helping people everywhere complete their projects with ease and for you, the supplier, this means that you'll have access to these high quality hirers to start generating new business.

5. We've got the resources to help you optimise your chances

Most tender platforms operate as a noticeboard. You can find a job title and basic project information, but are left to spend valuable hours to access any sort of decision making contact or specific project requirements.

If efficiency is an important metric to your business, you need a strong team to support you.PM-ProductComparisonBlogPost_T1-05.jpg

Our Business Development teams are industry professionals on a state and national level. They comprise of tender specialists, on the ground experts and confirmed work facilitators who are trained to target opportunities on your behalf. If you want to see a specific type of work, or have a piece of gear that's gathering dust, you now have a skilled and dedicated employee to help put your business at the forefront.

For each opportunity, your BD manager sources the project's actual decision maker and uncovers all of the project information you need to price competitively and effectively.

You're given the opportunity to close the deal rather than waste resources trying to find them.

6. We openly list the transactions awarded to our suppliers

PlantMiner is more than just a noticeboard for projects - with over $100 million in hire work awarded to our suppliers, we're proven to win work for plant, equipment and subcontractor companies.

So while our competitors may report on site visits, equipment searches and even social reach, we're the only marketplace that openly lists their transactions in dollar value. And we can do this because it's true, we're getting the traffic and turning it into work.
