Supply Chain
Written By Rick Watson

YardLink is a London, UK-based digital procurement startup. It connects customers with a network of suppliers, enabling contractors to source and manage equipment, materials and services within seconds.

Yardlink is a B2B procurement marketplace specifically for the construction industry connecting contractors, suppliers, and equipment for purchase or hire.

The company plans to use the funds to double its headcount and accelerate its growth.  This continues a digitization theme in an industry that still does not have a large percentage of purchases happening online.
