Listen: How Anderson Equipment is managing and protecting data

Equipment Finance News is pleased to introduce our new podcast, “Equipment Connect,” where our editors connect with leading equipment finance industry lenders and dealers to discuss new developments, market analysis, trends, tips and more. In this first episode, Senior Associate Editor Johnnie Martinez speaks with John Boy, finance and sales administration manager at Anderson Equipment Co. 

Bridgeville, Pa.-based Anderson Equipment manages 18 full-service locations across six states in the Northeast and several product lines, including Komatsu, Takeuchi and Dynapac. Dealer management systems are in the spotlight on the heels of CDK Global’s outage, which negatively affected the automotive and commercial truck industry. In this inaugural podcast, Boy describes how Anderson Equipment developed its independent management software with an in-house IT team to help its dealerships manage data and stay open. 

“We’ve decided to, as a company, invest in ourselves and in writing our own software to ensure that we’re the ones controlling the outcome of any potential ill will against us,” Boy says. 

Tune in to hear more about the equipment finance industry’s evolution, technology adoption, and cybersecurity measures in this inaugural episode of “Equipment Connect.”
