BigRentz and Linarc Partner to Eliminate Procurement Friction and Reduce Costly Jobsite Delays
BigRentz, a construction procurement software platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Linarc, a collaborative construction management platform built to streamline scheduling, site coordination and resource management. The integration embeds BigRentz’s rental network directly into Linarc’s project workflows, providing contractors with a way to link jobsite planning with real-time construction equipment and services procurement, reducing costly delays and improving accountability across projects.
Despite an increase in construction tech platforms, most tools still operate in isolation, forcing field teams to juggle disconnected systems for planning, scheduling, equipment and labor. By incorporating BigRentz’s national rental inventory into Linarc’s scheduling and field management tools, the partnership helps close the gap between what’s planned and what’s delivered and executed.
“When jobsite coordination and procurement aren’t in sync, delays are inevitable,” said Scott Cannon, BigRentz CEO. “This partnership with Linarc helps solve that problem by uniting the planning layer with the procurement layer, bringing critical portions of every project into one unified workflow.”
“Construction projects rely on tight coordination, and that coordination breaks down when platforms don’t talk to each other,” said Shanthi Rajan, Linarc CEO. “This integration makes it easier for teams to stay ahead of delays and focus on execution.”
The integration enables field teams using Linarc to see available rental options from more than 6,000 suppliers via a BigRentz-powered catalog embedded directly in the platform. With a single click, users are directed to complete their rental with BigRentz, speeding up procurement and avoiding cross-platform confusion. The partnership also simplifies documentation management and cost tracking and enables delivery updates.
The first phase of the partnership is live now, and the second phase is in planning. This will deepen the integration via API connections, enabling more automated workflows such as in-app authentication, mobile field access and backend rental approvals tied to project schedules.
Special BigRentz pricing is available to existing Linarc customers. For more information, visit bigrentz.com/partners/linarc.
