Material Handling

Run your dealership on software built for material handling

Features designed for the way material handling dealers work

Integrated Finance

Handle dealer finance from floor plan financing and unit costing to multi entity accounting, all inside one platform. Every sale, rental, and service invoice rolls up to the same set of books.

Parts & Logistics

It’s time your software allows you to use the lean principles you teach your customers. NAXT triggers replenishment automatically and manages supplier logistics, so your technicians are never waiting on a part to finish a forklift repair.

Field Service

Dispatch technicians, open and close work orders, and capture labor and parts from the field in real time. The loop between your shop, your road crews, and the customer stays connected.

Safety & Compliance

Track inspections, certifications, and compliance requirements against every unit you sell or rent. Built in safety functions help your dealership stay audit ready without a stack of spreadsheets.

CRM & Sales

Follow every prospect, quote, and account from first call to closed deal. A shared view of the pipeline keeps your sales team aligned across the whole dealership.

Business Intelligence

Make decisions from live data with predefined dealership reports and Power BI dashboards covering sales, service profitability, and parts fill rates.

Mobile Suite

Give technicians and sales reps full access to work orders, customer records, and inventory on any device, whether they are on the lot or at a customer’s warehouse.

Predictive Maintenance

Use telematics and service history to flag wear before it becomes a breakdown. Planned maintenance keeps your customers’ forklifts moving and keeps your service bays booked.

With NAXT for material handling dealers, it’s easy to see your return on investment.

Benchmark Every Branch

With one system and shared processes, you can line up your locations, service shops, and parts counters and compare them directly. Spot the branches running best practice and roll that performance out across the group.

Watch Your Parts & Service Profitability

NAXT tracks cost and revenue at the unit level across new, used, and customer owned equipment. Because service costs tie back to each machine, you see the full financial picture, not just the sales margin.

Retain Your Technicians

Skilled forklift technicians are hard to find and costly to replace. Guided workflows, mobile tools, and automated checklists make your experienced techs more productive and help new hires follow the right steps from day one.

Keep Pace with Warehouse Demand

As warehousing and logistics keep growing, so does demand for material handling equipment. NAXT gives you the software to add branches and volume without outgrowing your systems.

What is NAXT?

NAXT is the leading ERP for material handling equipment dealers, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations and Finance.

Beyond a complete dealership platform covering Finance, Parts, Service, CRM, and Sales, NAXT ships with hundreds of predefined dealer business processes, so your team starts from a working system rather than a blank slate.

With built in Business Intelligence, a Mobile Suite for technicians and sales reps, safety and compliance tools, and telematics driven maintenance, NAXT is material handling software shaped around how forklift and lift truck dealers actually run.

We narrowed down to NAXT 365 as it proved to have a very strong business perspective. It was strong in allowing us to deliver to our customers what they needed from us.

I think it’s fair to say that we still have a touch of silos that’s there, but this solution (NAXT) has maybe made us more aware of them.

Anders Roil

Director of Digital , Zeppelin

Our leadership began researching to find what they wanted was a Microsoft provider that was future-forward technology focused, and more importantly, was one that was within the dealership community.

When we looked at the alternatives out there and spoke to other (Caterpillar) dealers, NAXT was the solution that met our needs most closely.
