Ideal and Toro partner to enhance Toro/Exmark 2.0 EZ-Link integration
Ideal Computer Systems, a provider of business management software for outdoor power equipment dealers, and The Toro Company, a global provider of turf and landscape maintenance products, announced Oct. 30 that they have collaborated once again to enhance its Business to Business (B2B) integration between the dealer and manufacturer with the latest release of Toro/Exmark 2.0 EZ-Link.
“The Toro/Exmark EZ-Link integration through Ideal is a true testament in our combined commitment to provide outdoor power equipment dealers with products and solutions that will improve their business,” said Greg Carradus, director of sales at Ideal. “We’ve valued our combined initiatives with Toro and Exmark over the years, and EZ-Link is a groundbreaking step in automating product registrations between our dealers and their manufacturer.”
For nearly 20 years, Ideal and Toro have teamed to provide new and innovative solutions to save outdoor power equipment dealers time and money. The recent collaboration of Toro/Exmark EZ-Link 2.0’s integration through Ideal has set the new standard for B2B communication. EZ-Link is a seamless automated integration that quickly and easily completes the product registration process for outdoor power equipment dealers. In addition, EZ-Link automates the promotion reimbursement by promotion code, guaranteeing correct, complete and faster rebate redemption. EZ-Link active dealers are automatically issued reimbursement for promo-related sales, all with no promo code entry required.
Ideal’s business management software manages the EZ-Link tool within the application, ensuring safe and secure transmission of Toro and Exmark data to Toro. The EZ-Link tool then feeds real-time manufacturing data back to Toro to dramatically improve manufacturing priorities. Outdoor power equipment dealers will be able to have the right products at the right time and the opportunity to sell more and turn more profit.
“Having market data, in real time, is a huge asset to any business in order to make informed, timely decisions,” said Dave Francis of Toro. “The EZ-Link tool and its seamless integration into the Ideal software removes all the effort and expense involved in gathering this data. In turn, the EZ-Link tool saves dealers valuable time and effort in registering products and makes the warranty process down steam more efficient. In addition, we have found that many dealers, through mistake or oversight, are not taking advantage of promotional rebates due to them; the EZ-Link tool and Ideal eliminates this.”
