The Problem

Your Forestry Dealership Is Complex. Your Software Should Make It Simpler.

Running a forestry equipment dealership means managing high-value equipment, thousands of parts, service departments, rentals, customers, vendors, and equipment that needs to stay productive in demanding environments. When your systems don’t communicate, your team spends too much time entering information, searching for answers, and managing spreadsheets.

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

Equipment is too important to manage without visibility.

Know what equipment and parts you have, where they’re located, what’s selling, what’s being serviced, and what’s making you money, all from one centralized system.

Downtime can cost your customers.

Forestry operations depend on equipment performing when it’s needed. Your service department needs quick access to equipment history, work orders, parts information, technician activity, and customer records.

Rentals add another layer of complexity.

Managing rental equipment means knowing what is available, where it is, who has it, and when it is coming back.

Your customers expect answers quickly.

Forestry customers need equipment, parts, and service when they need them.

Stop Managing In Pieces

Give Every Department the Information They Need.

With Primus, information entered in one area of your dealership can be connected across the business. A forestry customer calls about a piece of equipment.

Parts can see parts activity.
Equipment history is available.
Service can see previous work.
Sales can see the customer relationship.
Accounting has the transaction.

Everyone is working from the same information. That’s what an integrated dealership management system should do.
