The Credit Crunch

Belts are being tightened in homes and businesses across the nation, but - ever optimistic - Epitomy has developed a new mantra:

"The equipment salesman's credit cloud is the parts salesman's silver lining"

Although OEMs may see a dip in new equipment sales, aftermarket sales will flourish as many businesses prioritise maintaining existing assets over replacing with new equipment.

This is particularly true of the construction sector and - with JCB reporting redundancies this week after last year's record high profits - it shows no signs of subsiding soon. However, with natural economic fluctuations, where one market is experiencing a trough, another is peaking. Whilst the UK construction sector is suffering, attention is being turned to the prospering Middle East as an excellent target export market.

Supporting these export markets is easy with Epitomy's multi-lingual aftermarket applications. Able to support any language, Epitomy's applications are already deployed in localised languages for European, Russian and Japanese markets.
