We have used Ideal for at least 15 years. I’d say the thing that makes the biggest difference is that with three locations, my parts guys can see what we have in stock in each store. It also helps us control inventory. Being able to run a report that tells me I have this many dollars on hand, sold this many dollars of equipment, and break it down into segments with labor, rental, and parts is huge. We move parts around like we do wholegoods, so being able to know what we have and where it’s located is huge. Kevin Holt, Capital Equipment – De Witt, MI

Ideal has everything necessary in their system to run a business like ours. They offer everything that I need. I am a million dollar business and they can run several stores. Bob Rodriguez, George’s Mower & Burner Service – Riverview, FL

It is easy to use, gives us the reports we need, and our people learn it pretty quickly. We are completely happy with it. Craig Cody, Emery Lawn & Tractor – Brunswick, GA

We had a competitor’s system for 12-13 years and their program never did what they said it was going to do. Before we purchased another software program, we did our due diligence and researched for 5 or6 years. The only one that has held true to their roots, or value, has been the Ideal program. It is very simple to use. We’ve had brand new employees, who aren’t familiar with this industry, pick it up immediately. It is that self-explanatory. Steve Cannon, Power Equipment Company – Gilroy, CA

I did extensive, agonizing research before I went with Ideal's dealer software solution. I chose Ideal because of recommendations from fellow dealers and I needed a national company that could support me. Ideal has been good to me. Gary Nichols, Nichols Equipment – Jacksonville, FL

It's so much simpler than our old computer system. It lets us do multiple functions from one screen. I can pull up a customer and see what they've bought, invoice numbers, and profit margins all from the same screen. Wade Rolison, Rolison Saw Co LLC – Butler, AL

It's a nice software program. I like that it's easy to keep track of orders, any sort of sales or work orders. It's easy to find the customer and not lose things. David Leaycraft, Turf Machine Co. – Norcross, GA

Ideal had Bob Clements speak at their last software training seminar and he preached to us about the key metrics you should be measuring in your business. Without knowing that key data, you have no clue how you’re doing. We’re fortunate in that we have a system like Ideal that includes reporting options that allow you to analyze the performance of our business. We have been very satisfied with what we’ve been able to do with the help of Ideal. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Jeff Shoemaker, Schultz Power Equipment – Beloit, WI
