The world of machinery sales is about to experience a transformation, and Latech is proud to have played a key role in launching one of its newest disruptors. Machinery Masters, a UK-based startup with a vision to revolutionize the way new and used machines are bought and sold, recently made its debut at FOODEX, a premier tradeshow in Birmingham. This is the story of how Latech, in close collaboration with ABN, helped Machinery Masters bring their ambitious vision to life in just 45 days.

The Challenge: A Launch Against the Clock

Machinery Masters set an ambitious goal: to launch their brand and marketplace at FOODEX, a major industry event. This meant they needed a comprehensive suite of digital and branding assets, ready to go in a short period of time. For a startup, this was a significant challenge. They needed a partner who could deliver cutting-edge solutions at an accelerated pace. That's where Latech and ABN came in.

Our Solution: A Full-Spectrum Approach

Latech, in partnership with ABN, stepped in to provide Machinery Masters with a comprehensive suite of services, encompassing everything from brand development to digital implementation. Our goal was to create a cohesive and impactful launch strategy that would capture the attention of FOODEX attendees and position Machinery Masters for long-term success.

1. Brand System & Brand Book: We began by developing a complete brand system and brand book for Machinery Masters. This foundational work provided a clear and compelling visual identity, ensuring brand consistency across all touchpoints.

2. Visual Elements for Tradeshow: To make a strong first impression at FOODEX, Latech designed all the visual elements for Machinery Masters' presence, including the design of the physical stand itself. This ensured a cohesive and impactful brand debut.

3. Institutional Video: We produced a video to articulate Machinery Masters' vision, value proposition, and unique selling points to the FOODEX audience. This video served as a powerful tool for introducing the company to potential customers, partners, and investors.

4. Marketplace Prototype: To showcase the platform's functionality and user experience, we developed a compelling functional prototype of the marketplace. This interactive demo allowed FOODEX attendees to experience the platform's potential firsthand.

5. Event Website: We designed a website with tailored experiences for different FOODEX visitors: buyers, sellers, and partners. This ensured that each visitor could quickly find the information relevant to their needs and engage with Machinery Masters effectively.

6. Marketplace Development: Looking ahead, Latech is currently developing the front end of the full marketplace platform. ABN is building the API, backend, and a scraping system to populate the marketplace with a wide range of product listings.
