We are excited to begin this implementation journey with our long-time partners, XAPT and Accenture, in July 2024. This decision will enable us to fulfill our digital vision of best-in-class processes resulting in increased efficiency and exceptional customer interfacing functionality. This evolving robustness combined with the enhanced power of MS Copilot and Power Platform will clearly yield a world-class enterprise solution for GPEC, the CAT Dealer community, and inevitably benefit our primary OEM, Caterpillar,” said Gregory Poole Equipment Co.
