Gearflow

Remember when you couldn’t imagine something better … until it just was? Gearflow = Your better way to buy parts.

“So what exactly do y'all do anyway?” We get asked that question a lot. Answer: Gearflow Parts Hub Pro is parts procurement software. But parts procurement tool ≠ a marketplace or online store to buy parts. We believe that the hidden Achilles heel of fleet management is the parts procurement process. And parts procurement software is the answer to overcoming it. Learn more ➡ https://lnkd.in/gcAuEXkT

The fleets we work with are usually shocked by the immediate changes that an automated parts process brings. Whether it’s time-consuming manual steps, countless wrong orders, untracked parts costs or lost shop efficiency — don’t let the silent killer of fleet uptime go unaddressed.

We’re excited to participate in BuiltWorlds Construction Tech Conference and Midwest Forum next week, July 23-25 🏗️ You can catch our own Luke Powers and Ben Preston participating in discussions with other startups, investors and industry players about the challenges facing modern fleets — and what’s next for the local construction tech ecosystem.

One year ago, Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, LLC set out on an ambitious journey. Their goals: Reduce their costs, eliminate their time spent waiting on parts, and add visibility, controls, and automations into their entire parts ordering process. So how'd they do? Their first-year results speak for themselves: —FASTER RESPONSES: Time to get parts quotes back from their vendors went from 2 DAYS to 24 MINUTES ⚡ —FASTER FULFILLMENT: Time spent waiting on parts to get to the machine dropped from 1 WEEK to 1 DAY, from request to fulfilled ⏰ —COSTS SAVED: $215K saved in parts spend alone 🤯 🤯 🤯 And they’re not done there. Ajax’s fleet team is now in a position to use their real-time parts purchasing insights to make smarter, more sustainable inventory, equipment lifecycle, and budget decisions … … Which means more margin + profit potential for their entire org. 💪 This ^^^ is what the impact of the fleet team of the future looks like. Like Ajax, are these goals sounding good to you? Let’s talk! http://bit.ly/4d6AbHr cc: Andy DeCraene Dan Maitland David Reed, EMS

❓ Q: What’s one of the hardest parts of being a fleet manager? 📈 A: Catching cost spikes in REAL time “Who approved this order?” “Why was this part so expensive?” “Why is this machine eating up so much money?” A fleet puts out thousands of orders for parts every year, and it’s usually too late by the time those questions get asked. Staying under maintenance budget and spotting ‘bad actor’ machines can feel like a lost cause without a line of sight into parts spend. Gearflow COO and Co-founder Ben Preston breaks down how we help pull back the curtain on this commonly overlooked — but critical — component to a fleet’s success. 

💣 Myth-busting time: We are NOT a parts distributor. We are NOT traditional ecommerce. What we are is automating the connection between heavy equipment fleet teams and their vendors for their parts needs. And it doesn’t stop there. We’re feeding equipment managers the real-time insights they need to control costs and improve fleet reliability. Can your spreadsheet do that? 🤔 P.S.
