FOREWORD FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
SHANE WALDEMAR General Manager, DIS
When I think about what the next year holds for dealers, I think about the pace of change in technology. Why? Because, as humans, we’re used to a world that changes at a steady pace. Take the ag business as an example – breeding new crops can take years, investments in equipment can take ages to pay off, and so on. Our industry is frequently making educated guesses about the future. Now, we have the power of data to help us in this era of rapid technological advancements. The ability to analyze large volumes of data is the key to unlocking valuable insights and making informed decisions for your dealerships’ best interests – to optimize inventory management, enhance customer experience, insights into what’s selling and not selling, and so much more. In this report, we share changes in the ag equipment market and in the world of dealership technology to help dealers be profitable in the year ahead.
