Case Study: Hystandard Handling Equipment achieves smoother real-time operations with Baseplan Software

Baseplan Gives Hystandard a Lift

Hystandard Handling Equipment, a major independent forklift dealer, faced significant challenges with its outdated UNIX-based software system. The system suffered from database instability, reindexing problems, a lack of real-time data, and poor support due to a help desk in a different time zone. This prompted the company to seek a new solution, leading them to partner with Baseplan Software and implement its tailored business management system.

Baseplan Software provided a comprehensive real-time solution that managed everything from inventory and rental fleet operations to the general ledger. The implementation was seamless, even during Hystandard's acquisition of a Melbourne branch, with the switchover completed in a single day. The results included greatly increased efficiency, the ability to email statements instead of printing them, and real-time data access across both Sydney and Melbourne sites. Hystandard now relies totally on Baseplan's intuitive software, which is central to all its income-producing activities.
