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.


Hosted Websites

Sandhills-hosted websites provide a professional online presence for businesses, offering options to customize the site to suit your business needs. The fully responsive design works with any device and includes an online store, site analytics, SEO, and Inventory Management built into the site for a single point of data entry.

E-Commerce

AddAShop, Sandhills’ built-in e-commerce service, allows dealers to sell equipment and parts directly from their website. Using AddAShop also puts A Buy Now button next to items a dealer is advertising on MachineryTrader.com, TruckPaper.com, TractorHouse.com, and other Sandhills platforms.

Hosted Dealer Apps

Get more exposure for your business with a branded mobile app. Hosted dealer mobile apps make it easy for buyers to browse and shop for a dealer’s inventory anywhere, anytime.


Hosted Email

Sandhills offers several options for hosted email and Microsoft 365 services. Microsoft 365 subscription-based services are available when you use Sandhills Global as your cloud solution provider. Sandhills’ in-house tech support team will help you choose the best solution for your company, as well as help maintain your Microsoft 365 account.

“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.
