Keep every truck, hire contract, service visit and spare part on one serial record.
Forklift dealer software holds each truck as one record, keyed by its serial number. The record carries the hour meter, the owner or hirer, the contract, the service history and the warranty position. Sales, hire, the workshop and the parts counter read the same machine. Quotations, invoices and claims to the manufacturer follow from it.
A forklift dealer sells new and used counterbalance trucks, reach trucks and pallet stackers. It hires them by the week or the year, services them in the workshop and in the customer’s yard, and stocks spares, batteries and chargers. One truck can be a sale, a hire and a service customer in turn. One truck, several jobs.
The records for those jobs usually sit apart: a quotation file, a hire diary, a job book and a parts ledger. Dealer software joins them on the machine. Anyone can open a serial number and see where that truck stands, from data plate to last fitted chain.
A warehouse, a factory, a port or a builders’ merchant sends in an enquiry. The salesperson asks about load capacity, lift height, load centre, duty cycle and floor surface, then quotes a truck with mast, carriage, forks, side shifter or other attachments. Electric trucks add a battery and charger. A used or demonstrator truck may be offered instead, or a short hire while the order is on the water.
After delivery the truck lives on the customer’s site. Hire units are invoiced by period and checked in at the end. Service technicians visit on a schedule or after a breakdown, read the hour meter and fit tyres, filters and hydraulic hoses from the van. The workshop repairs trucks that come in. Warranty work is claimed back from the manufacturer with the serial number, the fault and the hours. Then it starts again.

Read the case studyQuestions forklift dealers ask before they call.
Can we track each truck by its serial number?
Yes. Every truck, battery and charger gets its own record. Sales, hire, service and warranty entries are all attached to it, so one search shows the whole history of that counterbalance or reach truck.
Does it cover both selling and hiring trucks?
Yes. One system holds the sales quotation, the hire contract and the service job. A truck that is sold, taken back as a trade-in and hired out again keeps one continuous record.
Can it handle periodic safety inspections?
It can hold the inspection dates and certificates against each truck and remind the office when one is due. Your national regulator decides which inspections apply, and we map them with you early on.
Will fitters be able to open jobs on a phone in the customer’s yard?
Yes. A technician opens the job in a phone browser, records the hour meter, parts and findings, and closes the visit. It needs a connection, so a yard with no signal waits for the technician to be back in range.
What happens in the free technology audit?
We look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough to start. You get a report ordered by priority, and there is no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. The audit settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
