Manage the full lifecycle of forklift and warehouse equipment sales and aftersales with integrated customer relationship management (CRM), quoting, invoicing and service tracking, built for both retail and high-volume B2B fleet accounts. 

Parts & Inventory Management

Material handling means thousands of small, fast-moving SKUs. Get real-time visibility across every location, automate reorders, and manage transfers and returns without losing track of stock. 

Rent Management

Warehouse and logistics needs spike fast. Track equipment availability, rental agreements, rates, invoicing and damage reports so you can meet short-term demand without missing a beat. 

Workshop Planning & Field Service

Dispatch technicians to customer warehouses and distribution centers with drag-and-drop scheduling, mobile access and digital work orders, whether service happens in-house or on-site. 

Multi-Location Support

Run sales, service and rentals across multiple branches and warehouses from one unified system, keeping customers, resources and reporting consistent no matter where equipment moves. 

OEM Integrations & Warranty Claims

Integrate directly with forklift and material handling OEMs for parts ordering, warranty claims and serial number tracking, cutting manual admin at every step. 

Customer Communication & Authorization

Send quotes, confirmations and digital work approvals by email, so warehouse and distribution customers get fast answers without the back-and-forth. 

Route & Delivery Optimization
