Coming together at INTERMAT Paris

The PVS Team were excited to spend time at INTERMAT Paris this week, meeting with all the inspiring industry professionals.

The show was one to remember, with nearly 200 demonstrations of worksite machinery available for us to see.

It was valuable for us to catch up with friends and manufacturers, and we’re grateful to the show for making it possible for organisations and individuals to come together and show the world what progress has been made with innovations.

We were particularly interested in looking at the latest developments in low-carbon and digitalised equipment that joins our quest for better safety, productivity and energy efficiency on site.

At PVS, we’re dedicated to helping our clients achieve the best results with the plant they use on their sites – that’s why we provide them with data on fuel usage, idle time, carbon output and much more, with all the information they need being available within three clicks.

We love meeting people in person and discussing the capabilities of our platform and are already looking forward to the next INTERMAT in 2027!
