Apart from the main portal www.cat.com, Cat is also one of the first manufacturers in the world to build the used equipment website (www.catused.com) to allow customers to locate and review the quality used machinery available for sale available at the dealers’ around the world.
In order to increase Cat’s used equipment sales, the company has established partnership with Mascus (http://www.mascus.com), top marketplace for used equipment. As a result, used equipment inventory from Cat dealers is to be found on Mascus, increasing web visibility at the same time.
As Robert Gregus, Marketing and Sales Operations Manager, says: “The partnership with Mascus supports Caterpillar’s used equipment sales strategy. The equipment is significantly more visible on the web, which means it’s more visible to customers surfing the web for used equipment…”

The fact that CatUsed and Mascus established direct integration makes the double entry impossible for the dealers. Mascus will make the inventory visible in 35 languages all around the world.
