Introducing

Sam's Mechanical Service

This full-service forklift company supports customers throughout Lancaster and Chester Counties with forklift sales, service, repair, and rentals. Many customers are small businesses without backup equipment, making for a demanding response time. Sam’s Mechanical reduces customer downtime by quickly delivering rentals while simultaneously fixing or replacing the customer’s equipment.

Why they needed ERP

At Sam's Mechanical, repair work is done in the shop and on the road. From sales and service to rental and repair, the company needs to be able to deliver fast and efficient service.

Sam's customer base includes many repeat customers over a large span of years, making historical details invaluable. Sometimes Sam’s sells a new piece of equipment, the piece is resold by the customer, and eventually it returns. They need to be able to track each piece of equipment, both sold and serviced.

In addition, they needed to be able to maintain and accurate and diverse parts inventory, manage the deliveries and pick ups of rentals, track parts in service vans, and access information recorded and used across service, labor, and sales departments.

Why they chose EBMS

Sam's Mechanical Service relies heavily on EBMS to serve customers with efficiency. They're able to track each piece of equipment and attach labor and service notes to the item to track costs and make decisions. This allows them to view historical data throughout the lifetime of the machine.

They can track part sales, view stock levels, and make purchasing decisions with detailed sales history. Technicians can quickly add parts to a work order or sales order with barcodes and scanners. And inventory is traced and viewed across locations, including service vans, for full inventory visibility.

Sam's Mechanical benefits from many of the features within EBMS, including

  • Serialized Item History
  • Flexible Rental Tools
  • Comprehensive Parts Management
  • Labor Management
