Optimizing Your Equipment Dealership for Scalability and Growth
The heavy equipment industry has seen recent trends towards consolidation. Across industries, businesses are achieving successful M&A with the utilization of digital transformation platforms. In a recent customer survey, feedback shows that approximately 70% of e-Emphasys customers have grown their number of locations through M&A since going live on the platform.
Digital transformation solutions help firms make educated, data-driven decisions in a fast-paced world. Our digital transformation platform has led to impactful ROI for our customers across all department by streamlining processes, enabling automation, and empowering data-driven decision making. Our e-Emphasys ERP offers a multitude of benefits and cost savings to our equipment dealer users. Our customers have reported a 3x revenue growth relative to sales growth. Our modern, fully integrated platform offers you full visibility of your dealership business. We connect your sales, service, parts, fleet management, rental, supplier, warranty, and finance departments to increase visibility following your specifications.
e-Emphasys ERP helps automate processes across your dealership. Many of our clients report a 90% reduction in time spent producing financial reports. Additionally, many customers found a 30% decrease in time spent doing inventory, along with a 45% increase in inventory accuracy. VP of Product Support at Van Keppel Equipment, Brian Loderhose reports “I think one of the strong points for us to purchase the e-Emphasys system was the parts and service software capabilities. It was very good for us in that it had components to it that made our business better. For instance, if I wanted to conduct a machine inventory at a branch location, I could pull up to that branch, open my computer. I could export the branch’s inventory within a minute and actually walk the yard and do a spot check. If I wanted to do that with parts I could do a quick cycle count inventory from a parts module that comes live very quickly and allows me to go through and spot check parts and parts inventory. e-Emphasys allows us to do that in a matter of minutes and export the data live right to Excel and then go right to work and that has saved us a tremendous amount of time.”
Our additional applications, such as our eScheduler help you schedule the right technician for the job, every time. With this application, managers use real-time GPS, real-time parts inventory, and skills matching to select the right technician for every job. The technician can follow the GPS to the job and send updates through their mobile device, reducing their paperwork and keeping them out in the field. Vice President and Controller, William French, at Scott-Macon Equipment says “It’s really helped us a lot. You know, we’ve saved so much time with the eScheduler and inter-company transactions and so forth that despite the fact that we’ve grown a bit, we haven’t had to add anyone to our accounting department. So it’s really saved us, the e-Emphasys system has.”
Alta Equipment Company has seen many business benefits that have allowed them to grow from 20 to 60+ locations since going live on the e-Emphasys platform. Tony Colucci, CFO says “Alta’s growth story is one of adding personnel, many locations, and the revenue that goes along with it. The e-Emphasys platform has allowed for that growth to happen more naturally versus our previous system. The e-Emphasys Platform, for a company of our size and our growth has been really scalable. We add locations quickly and seamlessly.” To learn more about how Alta has realized these benefits and how your dealership can streamline your processes with the e-Emphasys Digital Transformation Platform, sign up for our webinar “Build a Scalable Growth Platform Through Digital Transformation” on July 20, 2022 at 2:00 PM EST.
