PON Selects EquipSoft
July 19, 2007
Industry leader plans to integrate four companies to one scaleable business system in a plan to increase efficiency and profitability.
Columbus, OH - IndustryBuilt is pleased to announce that Pon North America will begin their EquipSoft implementation across all businesses immediately. These currently include: Portman Equipment headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio; Levee Lift headquartered in Evansville, Indiana; Equipment Depot of Illinois, headquartered in Elgin, Illinois; and Equipment Depot of Texas, headquartered in Waco, Texas.
“We needed to integrate all of our systems seamlessly using a scaleable platform. Our current systems are either unsupported by the vendor or antiquated with little future. In our evaluation process we found that no current dealer management system could offer Pon the functionality and vendor support like EquipSoft and Microsoft could. We were very impressed with the EquipSoft team and their willingness to listen to our needs versus dictating what our needs were.” explains Brenie Bowles, ERP Project Manager.
EquipSoft is a software solution designed for Equipment Dealers, powered by the world's fastest growing ERP product, Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This industry specific software will allow Pon North America to compare information across their businesses in order to make strategic corporate decisions.
“Adding Pon North America to the EquipSoft family is an honor for us. We’re excited to present them with a long term solution for their dealers and offer coast to coast support. Like our other customers, they were also very motivated by the commitment and R&D investment that only a corporation like Microsoft can promise” says Russell Durrant.
“Our selection process started with 16 vendors, but after over a year of due diligence, we are very confident that we made the right choice with EquipSoft.” adds Mr. Bowles.
