Some years ago eBay managed to popularize an activity that has been present in our society for centuries: auctions. After it, other similar models of a generalist or sectoral nature have emerged. Among the latter we highlight on this occasion the app SURPLEX, a young application backed by a solid company.
But what is Surplex?
surplex is one of the largest European suppliers of second-hand industrial machinery for the metal and wood sectors. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Düsseldorf, it operates daily in more than a hundred countries, controlling all processes, from locating the machinery or dismantling it, to everything related to customs and the management of the necessary documentation.

In 2008 it took a further step in its activities by complementing the traditional buying and selling system with an online auction platform that currently accounts for 50% of the volume of all its operations.
With the broad development of the communications sector and, especially, of the iPhones y iPads, surplex decided to keep innovating.
And what is Surplex App?
Allied with ObjetCode, company in charge of the development of the application, surplex decided that the time had come to make the leap to mobile communications and began the development of an app for iOS which today has become a benchmark for the sector it occupies.
Indeed, surplex occupies one of the relevant positions in the ranking of B2B (business-to-business) application downloads with a very high degree of satisfaction from its users. In just one month, it occupied positions 241 and 236 of iPhone y iPad respectively in the category of business applications in Germany and, having overcome the psychological barrier of a thousand downloads in just two months, it maintains a constant average of one hundred weekly downloads without the need for more advertising.
The secret of the success of an application of this type aimed at such a specific audience lies in the conviction to develop an app that was optimal from the day of its launch. For this, preliminary tests were carried out with some of its clients, and even telephone interviews with many of its first users, all of this in order to detect any possible aspect that did not reach the desired level of perfection.
Today, Surplex App It works with all types of machinery in the wood or metal industries, from small manual machines worth a few hundred euros, to the largest, advanced and sophisticated ones.
