AEDNews - Construction Equipment Industry News Tectura/XAPT "Go Live" with Microsoft ERP-based Business Solution for Heavy Equipment Distributors XAPT/Tectura have announced the successful launch of the Microsoft ERP-based business solution for heavy equipment distributors at Kelly Tractor and Pantropic Power Inc. These two Caterpillar dealerships have taken bold steps to implement a comprehensive solution which integrates, in real-time, all areas of their business including Sales, Service, Rentals, CRM, Parts, Finance and Power Systems. This go-live stands out as one of the first implementations in the industry to achieve a cutover to a fully integrated, end-to-end business platform on a consistent technology which reduces complexity and improves performance. Over the past 15 months, XAPT/Tectura have worked with Kelly Tractor and Pantropic Power to enhance XAPTs’ global version of the heavy equipment solution so that it meets all North American regulatory requirements and fully satisfies a wide range of common industry business standards. With over 80 real-time interfaces, the solution works seamlessly with a variety of manufacturer/vendor systems supporting critical equipment distribution/support requirements including supply chain management, warranty, maintenance plans, telematics and service processing. This first-of-its-kind implementation marks the beginning of a new level of demonstrated performance by a flexible, easy to manage ERP solution designed just for heavy equipment dealers, according to the company. Customer benefits include:
Nick Kelly, a dealer principal of Kelly Tractor, agrees, and explains that while equipment dealers are very savvy when it comes to customer service, asset and cash management, and equipment maintenance that doesn’t mean the processes are as simple as they ought to be. "XAPT has proven time and time again that they get our business and they have developed an outstanding solution that our employees love to use because it’s immediately recognizable – it’s just like Microsoft Office except that it delivers processes that are fine-tuned to our requirements. Implementing and training is yet another thing. XAPT/Tectura are professionals who have a focus on our industry when it comes to managing business complexities, and I think those currently charged with trying to unify all their company’s data into a single, manageable view will be excited about the implications of what they are offering here. We’re always looking for ways of helping our clients maximize their gain while minimizing risk and administrative headache, and we’re excited that we can enlist proven innovators and industry leaders like XAPT/Tectura in our mission."
