Reputation Management for Equipment Dealers

When we say that Kenect is an end-to-end reputation management platform, we mean it. Equipment dealers double or triple reviews in the first 90 days. They can also automate review requests with DMS triggers, reply to reviews in the Kenect platform, and even work with our Managed Reputation team to dispute negative reviews.

Texting in Service, Parts and Sales - Saves Time and Money

The biggest frustration for equipment dealers (and your customers) is phone tag. Farmers are busy. Construction contractors are busy. They don’t have time for a 20 minute call.

Texts are read 98% of the time and turn 20 minute phone calls into 30 second text conversations.

Colleen Fox from Cazenovia Equipment Company

"Kenect has made it so that people stay with us and aren’t bouncing off to go with one of our competitors. I can say that if we hadn’t been texting, we WOULD HAVE LOST REVENUE."
