Hydraulic Equipment Distributor Selects EquipSoft to Manage Rental Fleet, Service & Sales

Aug. 7, 2014 - PRLog -- Allentown, PA – Before switching to EquipSoft, the Ottawa, Ontario-based distributor of Manitou and Palfinger new and used equipment, had been using a basic SQL-based third-party accounting package, with very limited integration with work orders, invoices, POs, and other vital aspects of their business. “Beyond managing our equipment rental, service and sales, we also need a software system to handle payroll so that it is integrated with time entries, for example,” says Émilie Lapointe, Director, Finance/IT, Ottawa Equipment & Hydraulic, Inc. “EquipSoft provides all the functionality for our business today and for what we will need in the longer term.”

OEH offers full service for all their equipment, from scheduled maintenance and annual inspections to complete overhaul of cranes, boom trucks, forklifts and utility trucks; their service technicians can perform any repairs, from hydrostatic and electric to welding and fabrication, and OEH designs hydraulic systems to meet customized specifications.

David Pilz, CEO, IndustryBuilt Software, parent company of EquipSoft, says “Ottawa Equipment & Hydraulic represents the kind of leading distributors who are embracing technology to optimize their service, rental, sales and fleet management business. We are delighted they have chosen to partner with EquipSoft to help streamline their operations and facilitate their growth.”
