Billy Goat selects PartSmart for use by dealer network
ARI — a Milwaukee, Wis.-based provider of technology-enabled business solutions that help dealers, distributors and manufacturers in selected vertical markets increase revenue and reduce costs — announced Sept. 20 that Billy Goat Industries, Inc., Lee’s Summit, Mo., will provide its dealers with access to parts and service information via PartSmart, ARI’s CD-based electronic parts catalogs.
Under the agreement, authorized dealers will be able to use PartSmart to look up parts and service information for Billy Goat’s complete line of commercial-grade debris, mowing and renovation equipment, including finish mowers, wheeled blowers, aerators, debris loaders, power rakes, lawn and litter vacuums and walk-behind brush cutters.
