Struggling with complex data scattered across multiple systems? A specialized business intelligence (BI) solution can help you convert data from your Dealer Management System (DMS) and other critical tools into clear, actionable insights.
At TARGIT, we develop BI solutions for several types of dealers, including heavy equipment, automotive, and truck and trailer. In the heavy equipment space, we help dealers trade hours of month- or quarter-end spreadsheet reconciliation for automated reports and dashboards that can be configured in minutes and always reflect the latest data.
Why Heavy Equipment Dealers Choose TARGIT
From sales performance to inventory management and rental fleet insights, TARGIT brings all of your operational data together under one roof so you can base your business decisions on facts instead of feelings.
We bring more than 100 years of combined industry expertise to our work in the heavy equipment space. Our dedicated team partners with dealers to streamline BI implementation, create best-fit reports and dashboards, and offer strategic guidance to help your dealership take full advantage of its data.
Use our end-to-end BI solution to get instant access to key metrics and intuitive dashboards tailored to your operations. Plus, easily send relevant reports directly to employees’ inboxes based on their department and role.
With interactive dashboards designed for sales, service, parts, and more, your dealership can move from time-consuming manual reporting to automated insights that improve efficiency and profitability.
BI Solutions Tailored to Your Dealer Management System
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all BI. Instead, we develop specialized Business Intelligence Accelerators (BIAs) tailored to the systems our customers use to manage critical operations.
Our heavy equipment BIAs are built to seamlessly connect to specific DMSs. Each BIA includes a tried-and-tested implementation plan, best practice report and dashboard templates for six departments, and expert guidance from our team of consultants:
- TARGIT for IntelliDealer by VitalEdge (formerly CDK)
- TARGIT for Dealer Information Systems (DIS)
- TARGIT for NAXT (MS Dynamics 365)
In addition to directly integrating with your DMS of choice, TARGIT easily connects to all other data sources – like accounting tools, payroll systems, third-party market data sources, and many more – to provide you with a complete picture of your data.
TARGIT turns data from disparate source systems into a comprehensive data warehouse. This setup enables rapid, multi-source analysis, allowing you to extract new insights by combining sales and customer data, clocking and payroll data, external market data, and more.
Insight into Daily Performance and Ongoing Trends
Once your data warehouse is up and running, you can start generating insights right away with our library of pre-built report and dashboard templates. Or create custom reports based on your data and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) most relevant to your operations.
Simply choose a template or set up specific parameters and KPIs, then receive daily updates via email, share reports with various stakeholders, and ensure everyone always sees the latest numbers on all your TARGIT dashboards.
Give managers access to department-level dashboards, email weekly reports to team leads, and display relevant performance figures on screens in the service center or breakroom. With TARGIT, everyone can review and act on your data — no technical skills or list of logins required.
