The attachment dealer's problem: fit
Selling a rotator or a grapple saw means selling it for a particular excavator. The right hitch plate, rotator, valve and hoses all depend on the carrier's weight, hitch type and hydraulics. Quote the wrong combination and you find out at fitting, which is the most expensive time to find out.
Most attachment specialists also buy from European manufacturers, so every quote involves an exchange rate and a freight charge on top.
Options that follow the carrier
In DigDealer each attachment carries its own option groups (hitch brackets, base plates, rotators, valves, hoses, warranty), and options that only suit certain carrier weights are hidden when they don't apply. The salesperson works down the list choosing, and the configurator makes sure the required choices are made.

Hitch measurements and machine details on the quote
Where fit depends on measurements, the quote captures them: hitch dimensions, the customer's machine make and model, and coupling details. They print on the quotation and travel with the order, so the workshop and manufacturer get the details they need without another phone call.
Euro lists, sterling margins
DigDealer converts euro price lists at your exchange rate and adds freight, dock and PDI, so the cost on each attachment is the real landed cost and your minimum markup protects it. Full detail on euro price lists and landed cost.
Quoting to contractors and dealers alike
Attachment dealers sell to end users and often to other dealers. Either way, the discount controls let you hold a different margin by brand or category and approve the exceptions. Specialists in mulchers and saws will also want to read about forestry equipment dealers.
