Overview

DOZR operates an online marketplace and ecommerce solutions for heavy equipment rentals, including its WebStores white‑labeled software and an Order Tracker experience. The platform enables touchless, paperless rental transactions and integrates with suppliers' websites and ERP systems. DOZR says it offers the world’s largest fleet of heavy equipment and reported more than 2 million website visits last year. The company positions itself as a Con‑Tech marketplace addressing increased rental demand amid global supply‑chain issues and high utilization rates. Recent product launches include WebStores (2020) and Order Tracker (2021), which the company says digitize rental workflows for suppliers and contractors. DOZR plans to expand into new U.S. markets and grow its team significantly in the near term. Dozr operates a contractor-to-contractor marketplace that lets equipment owners post idle heavy construction and agricultural machinery for rent and matches them with trusted renters. The platform includes insurance coverage and is free to join, and typical contractor-to-contractor rates are about 40% below retail rental rates. Dozr offers a wider variety of equipment and aims to help owners monetize idle assets while helping projects access needed machinery. The company was launched in Kitchener, Ontario, in 2015 by construction veterans including co-founder and CEO Kevin Forestell. Dozr expanded into the U.S. market after a recent financing and moved into New Jersey in December; it has now begun operations in Florida with initial focus on Miami, Tampa and Orlando.
