Parts, Rentals, Equipment Sales for Marine Equipment within ERP System

One challenge facing marine equipment distributors is the diversity of highly specialized products that must be carried – from electrical power supply (battery chargers, inverters, power conditioners, etc.) to marine electronics including navigational and communication equipment, such as GPS. You know that you have to have the right part on hand for customers – always!

For this reason, management of your parts replenishment and inventory is critical, and the business software system behind your dealership needs to make this easy and efficient. Equip-Soft makes it possible for:

  • Dynamic parts stocking of consignment and service vans.
  • The system automatically sets up parts based on criteria entered, resulting in less labor and more accuracy.
  • Accommodates the use of barcode scanning of parts in your shipping/receiving area, so that the data goes right into the software system, vs. your employees having to manually record a large amount of stock.

Equip-Soft also features robust rentals management functionality including:

  • Easy to use software “wizards” that make it easy for users at marine equipment dealership to walk through all the steps required for setting up a rental contract.
  • Rental contracts relate and inter-relate with required service work. E.g. pre delivery inspections, check in inspections, etc.
  • Rentals module acts as the hub for a variety of related functions in your different departments, such as service and purchasing.
  • Equip-Soft offers further functionality for equipment sales, such as:
  • You can easily convert quotes to orders, and keep track of lost and changed quotes.
  • Cost of sales will automatically adjust for service orders capitalized after sale of the unit.
  • Automatic generation of P.O. if needed from the sales order.

Marine equipment distributors will find all aspects of managing the business processes and employees of their dealership optimized with the Equip-Soft system, which is based on the powerful Microsoft Dynamics platform, the world’s fastest growing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
