In the fast-paced world of equipment dealerships, staying ahead isn’t optional—it’s critical. The competition is tougher, customer expectations are rising, and the smallest inefficiencies can impact your bottom line.
But here’s the good news: by benchmarking your dealership’s performance, you can identify key areas for growth and maintain an edge. Our 2025 Benchmark Report is packed with actionable insights tailored to help you meet these challenges head-on. Let’s take a sneak peek at what’s happening across the industry and how you can take advantage.
What’s Shifting in Dealership Performance in 2025?
1. Evolving Customer Expectations
- Heavy Equipment Dealerships are making strides with after-hours parts availability and on-time equipment deliveries. Customers are noticing improved responsiveness and reliability, but there’s room to refine areas like rental billing accuracy and follow-up after sales.

- A growing need for structured training programs to boost product knowledge and technical expertise.
- Enhanced communication practices to ensure customers feel heard and valued.
