Sales

Equipment Sales
Equipment equity and flexible financials

You’re always building equity in a machine, even with rentals and purchase options.  And because your equipment needs can change at any time, you need access to your equity position in each of those machines all the time — every day.

Manage inventory of new and used equipment, as well as aging.

Track sales transactions from acquisition to final sale to retirement, including all related service-department work.  Record and track all components of a sale: order, assignment, invoicing, payment, and trade-in receipting.

Manage costing of new and used inventory units. Track financial details such as acquisition costs, cash discounts, factory incentives and capital repairs, equipment options, service invoices and other expenses to calculate the true cost.

CR2 simplifies transactions involving trade-ins by automating most of the related tasks and even complicated transactions such as over- and under-trade assignments during trade-in transactions.

All information you record is automatically reflected throughout the entire dealership: for example, branch managers and sales people know there are open work orders on equipment in an instant.

Dealer Tips:

  • Manage and track inventory of new, used and trade-in equipment at each branch.
