Description

Construction Equipment Distribution is published by the Associated Equipment Distributors , a nonprofit trade association founded in 1919, whose membership is primarily comprised of the leading equipment dealerships and rental companies in the U.S. and Canada. AED membership also includes equipment manufacturers and industry-service firms. CED magazine has been published continuously since 1920.

AED members are frequently called upon to contact their representatives in the Senate and House of Representatives to express positions on legislative issues affecting the equipment distribution industry. The most effective way to do so is to mail or fax a personal letter to your representative and senators. Some tips for doing so follow. In the first paragraph of your letter state your position in your company, the name of your company, what your company does, how many individuals your company employees, and where your company is located.

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers offers an extensive line of safety products, including manuals, videos, training packages, bulletins and technical standards, and free safety training materials. All AED members can purchase these AEM safety materials at a 10% discount.

The days of your customers walking into your business have long since passed. This is truly a shame. Some thirty to forty years ago we taught our customers that our inventory management meant that those parts that the customer wanted would not all be available when they came to our store. So they started to use the telephone and we didn't see the customer on our store very much at all.

When it comes to information security, dealerships have many areas of high risk. It is essential that you have an updated plan to protect customer data. In this webinar, the dealer management analyst will host a discussion with security experts on the following areas: Why do data thieves target dealerships? Why does your dealership need to have an active security plan? What does it mean to have an active security plan? What are the costs of a breach for small to medium businesses? About the presenters: Ed Becker is a Business Security Analyst for ADP's Global Security Organization.
