Parts Distributions Strategy: Heavy Equipment Industry

The Challenge
As a heavy equipment manufacturer, your channel partners (distributors, dealers and commissioned sales representatives) are vital to the success of your business.

Your channel partners may not have the capacity or customer demand to carry all of your replacement parts all of the time. Additionally, customers often have parts replacement needs when your channel partners are closed. Your customers’ operations, profitability, and safety are jeopardized with each passing minute that your equipment is not operational.

Your challenge is to deliver mission critical parts expeditiously, prevent customer defection, and increase order efficiencies, while preserving channel partner relationships.

The Solution
Reshare’s proven enterprise software solution, Distribution Relationship Management® (DRM), enables your customers to purchase products directly from you online while you maintain channel partner relationships.

DRM also allows your channel partners to purchase from you online.

Reshare allows you to maximize your revenue stream while reducing sales & marketing costs. Your channel partners enjoy additional revenues and improved efficiency. You have complete control of how products are presented, marketed and sold.
