Almost all customers purchasing construction equipment prefer to purchase equipment through a financing option. More than banks it is the NBFCs that command a higher market share in equipment financing. Offers extended by the financing institutions and confidence of financing institution on equipment brands play a crucial role for customer to choose a particular equipment brand. We at Gmmco have cordial relationship with all leading financial institutions across our territory. Over the years, financial institutions have developed trust on the products and services we offer resulting in ease of processing of funding to our customers during the sale. Higher uptime of our machine resulting in higher revenue for our customers and better resale value of our equipment are the major drivers for the trust of financing institutions on us, said Magesh Swaminathan, Head of Sales “ Construction Industries, Gmmco, while speaking on the role of NBFCs in construction equipment sales. 

On customer demands and expectations, Swaminathan said, Requirements of customers vary from application to application. A customer seeking our products can be largely classified into life cycle cost and life cycle value. Caterpillar equipment is known for its lower refill capacities, higher maintenance intervals, and better component life minimises the total cost of ownership thereby benefitting the lifecycle cost category customers. Higher fuel efficiency and enhanced productivity demonstrated by Caterpillar equipment make it a go-to-choice for lifecycle value category customers.
