Lawson Software last week announced that Butler Machinery, a Fargo, N.D.-based Caterpillar dealer with a strong rental program, has licensed the Lawson for Equipment Service Management and Rental Suite, a software system designed for heavy equipment manufacturers, distributors and rental companies.
Butler will use the Lawson software to help promote efficiency within the company and position it for growth.
Butler is a privately held, third-generation Caterpillar dealer, providing equipment to the Dakotas and western Minnesota since 1955, with 11 locations providing sales, rental, parts and service.
“With the current economic situation, we feel that this is the right time to invest in a new business system,” said Twylah Blotsky, director of IT, marketing and Six Sigma for Butler Machinery. “We need to be better positioned to manage our business for the current climate as well as future growth. The Lawson Value Assessment helped minimize Butler’s potential risk related to this investment.”
Lawson is based in St. Paul, Minn. Butler Machinery, based in Fargo, is No. 64 on the RER 100.
