The Problem

Your Outdoor Power Equipment Dealership Is Busy. Your Software Should Make It Simpler.

Running an outdoor power equipment dealership means managing hundreds or thousands of parts, equipment inventory, service work, customers, manufacturers, seasonal demand, and daily transactions across multiple departments. When your systems don’t communicate, your team spends too much time entering information, searching for answers, and trying to keep everything organized.

  • Parts needs accurate inventory information.
  • Service needs equipment and customer history.
  • Sales needs customer information and inventory availability.
  • Accounting needs accurate transactions.
  • Management needs visibility across the entire dealership.

Disconnected departments slow everyone down.

Your dealership shouldn’t operate in silos.

Inventory moves fast.

Mowers, handheld equipment, accessories, parts, and attachments can move quickly, especially during peak selling seasons. Primus gives your team visibility into what you have, where it is, what is selling, and what is making you money.

Seasonal demand puts pressure on every department.

Spring and summer can transform your dealership overnight. More equipment sales. More service work. More parts demand. More customers. Your DMS should help your team stay ahead of the rush instead of scrambling to keep up.

Your customers expect quick answers.

Customers want to know if a part is in stock, whether their equipment is ready, what service has been completed, or what equipment is available. Primus gives your team access to the information they need to provide faster, more accurate answers.
