ABAX Site Operations selected for Innovation Trail at Executive Hire Show 2026

The Innovation Trail recognises the most forward-thinking new products in the hire and plant sector. Shortlisted entries are chosen for their practical value, innovation, and relevance to professional hirers - highlighting solutions that address real operational challenges.

The Executive Hire Show takes place on 11–12 February 2026 at the Coventry Building Society Arena, where selected manufacturers will take part in live interviews on their stands as part of the Innovation Trail feature.

ABAX Site Operations launches at Executive Hire Show 2026

ABAX Site Operations will be officially launched at the show, giving visitors a first look at how the solution supports hire and plant businesses with greater site-level control and visibility.

Built as a plug-and-play solution, ABAX Site Operations helps businesses track and manage assets such as:

• Tools

• Pallets

• Materials

• Equipment

…across indoor, outdoor, and hybrid site environments.

By providing a live digital overview of asset movement, businesses can gain clearer operational insight without the complexity or cost often associated with traditional RTLS systems.

Turning site visibility into operational momentum

Hire businesses and site-based operations rely on speed, availability, and coordination - but it’s easy for visibility to slip when assets are constantly moving between depots, yards, workshops and jobs.

ABAX Site Operations is designed to make day-to-day operations smoother by helping teams:

• Stay aligned on what is available and where

• Reduce time lost to manual checks and outdated logs

• Improve utilisation and decision-making with live movement data

• Scale visibility across multiple locations without heavy infrastructure

Instead of relying on guesswork, phone calls or spreadsheets, teams can work from one shared view — helping the operation run with fewer interruptions and more confidence.

Selected by professional hirers from Hire United for Innovation Trail

“Being independently selected for the live Innovation Trail interviews is a strong endorsement of the real-world challenges Site Operations is designed to solve,” says Pål Kamfjord, Product Director at ABAX.

“We’ve focused on delivering site-wide visibility that’s practical, scalable and easy to deploy – not complexity for complexity’s sake.”

The Innovation Trail selection reflects a wider shift in the hire and plant sector toward solutions that can be deployed quickly, deliver value immediately, and scale with operational needs.

Live interviews hosted by Peter Haddock

The Innovation Trail interviews will be conducted live at the show by construction industry commentator Peter Haddock.

It’s a chance to see how site visibility can move from 'nice to have' to a measurable operational advantage.
