With NAXT Solutions, it’s easy to see your return on investment.

Benchmark your departments

With a single system and unified processes, you can monitor and rank your branches, locations, or service shops, enabling you to control best practices and implement them everywhere. It also allows you to reward actual performance and maintain organizational agility.

Watch your profitability

NAXT collects all costs and revenue information on each piece of equipment, regardless if it is in the new, used, or rental fleet. Furthermore, service costs and revenue are tracked to the machine, so any equipment has a holistic financial view.

Retain your workforce

A valuable and intuitive system can add to a technician’s capabilities by reminding them with checklists, optimize operations through dynamic workspaces, and speed up onboarding. The system will not replace experience but will enable those with less experience to follow correct procedures based on specific circumstances.

Keep up with rental growth

To make equipment rental profitable, you must consider financing costs and depreciation, among other expenditures, and compare those to revenue. Based on this information, executives and rental managers can decide which type of equipment and service they should invest in when extending their rental portfolio.

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 , Pon Equipment and Pon Rental

One of the big benefits of going with NAXT is that you get access to the dealer community because there are several other dealers that are now moving toward Dynamics 365, and . . . NAXT kind of acts as this connective tissue between these dealers.
