The team, Omar Essa, Daniel Morris and Neeral Shah, are proposing the creation of an app-based solution that connects the customers to the nearest supplier with the available equipment. This innovation could save businesses millions in wasted man-hours and generate a year-five post-project revenue of &amp;pound;55.2m for YardLink.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
