Heavy and construction equipment dealers
Machines, attachments and the workshop that keeps them earning
A machine that is down earns nothing, and parts and service are where the margin actually is. DealershipSoft keeps the unit, its serial, its parts and every job on one record.

Your stock, on constructionsales
DealershipSoft syndicates to the carsales network, which carries constructionsales alongside the other categories in this list. Machines you have already entered once go out to the listing site without being typed again.
Straight answer
What we do not do
Servicing is scheduled by date, not by machine hours. Hours are recorded against the job and kept on the unit record, but they do not trigger the next booking. Worth knowing before you see the demo rather than during it.

Questions equipment dealers ask
Straight answers, before the demo
Does it work for heavy and construction equipment, not just cars?
Yes, and the difference is the identity of the unit. Plant does not arrive with a VIN in a tidy seventeen character format, so a machine is held on its serial or PIN, with the supplier and what you actually paid against it. Attachments can be their own units on the same deal, each with its own serial and service record, and one invoice covers the lot.
Is there a CRM, or is it only the workshop?
Customers, units and jobs are one system rather than three. Every machine is on a customer record with what was sold, what was serviced and what is due, and service reminders are raised against the machine. It is a dealership system rather than a sales pipeline tool bolted to a workshop.
How do I know what a machine really cost me before I discount it?
Pre delivery checks, parts and labour land back on the unit cost, so the figure you are looking at includes the work you did to get it ready, not just the purchase invoice. Parts and service are where the margin is on plant, and both sit on the same record as the sale.
Does it schedule the next service on machine hours?
No. Hours are recorded against the job and kept on the unit record, so the history is there, but servicing is scheduled by date and service reminders are raised against the unit.
