Case Study: Butler Machinery achieves Excel-free inventory control and company-wide data-driven insights with TARGIT

Analytics designed for the heavy equipment industry

Butler Machinery Company is a third-generation, family-owned heavy equipment dealer founded in 1955, serving construction, agriculture, mining and related industries. Facing an outdated Cognos system that covered only part of their needs, employees lacked deep insight into reports and relied on uncontrolled Excel spreadsheets that hid KPIs and slowed decision-making.

Working with TARGIT partner Advanced Computing, Butler implemented TARGIT Decision Suite to centralize inventory and reporting, eliminate spreadsheets, and give teams the ability to slice, dice and drill into data. The rollout delivered daily finance, inventory and sales reports, tighter inventory control, easier sharing with governed access, higher user adoption, and faster, more informed decisions—resulting in improved internal efficiency, better customer service and stronger business growth.
