Running an equipment dealership is a balancing act like no other. If you are in mining, construction, agriculture, or forestry, you know the reality:
Too often, this is done on fragmented systems with spreadsheets, bolt-on tools, and outdated dealer management software that slows you down more than it helps.
This is the world A365 was built to change.

Why Microsoft matters
There are plenty of systems that claim to streamline dealer management, so why choose A365?
What makes A365 unique is its foundation in the Microsoft ecosystem.
Because A365 is built on Microsoft technologies, it doesn’t exist in a silo. It integrates seamlessly with tools you already use: Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power BI, Azure, creating a single ecosystem rather than another standalone app.
This means your equipment dealer management platform is secure, scalable, and always aligned with Microsoft’s innovation roadmap.
AI and the Prototype Lab: Dealer management that learns and adapts
A365 evolves continuously through Annata’s Prototype Lab and the R&D team, a dedicated environment where innovations are tested and refined with input from dealers.
AI is central to this evolution.
- Predictive inventory management helps forecast demand and avoid costly overstocks or shortages.
- Warranty automation validates and processes claims automatically.
- Technician scheduling ensures the right technician is matched to the right job.
- Virtual agents handle customer queries around the clock.
- IoT integration delivers predictive maintenance insights that improve uptime.
With 30 percent of revenue reinvested in R&D and more than 150 specialists working on A365, the platform does not just keep up. That ensures your business always has access to modern tools and best practices without having to reinvest in a new platform every few years. It sets the pace for innovation.
