Ideal software works well for outdoor power equipment sales and service. The work order process works well for the service department, the floor plan feature is nice to track units paid and unpaid, and the addition of the Accounting module helps to keep everything in one place. We recently upgraded to Ideal's cloud version with no problems with the help of their responsive support team.

If you run a dealer type of business and are looking for a point of sale software then look no further. This software has any and everything you would ever need along with all the bells and whistles if that interest you as well. Seeing this implemented for my clients, I can say you will increase your total profits with this software's ability. I recommend setting up a demo. Clint was great showing us how it works and all the benifits to the software.
Of course we can also see where we have been losing profit previously and how the software corrects that so moving forward my clients are collecting that profit. The process setting everything up was seemless. There team works closely with you to set it up just how you would like. Michael has also been a great help with quickly answering my emails or calls when any questions may come up from my clients or myself. Really is nice to know you have a contact that truly wants to assist and take care of any issues or questions you may have in a timely matter. Definitely recommend Ideal for any of there services!

I have been the Bookkeeper at a lawncare and outdoor power equipment dealership just outside of Toledo, Ohio for the last 2+ years and have had nothing but great experiences with the support team at Ideal Computer Systems. They have been over-the-top patient with me as I've learned the system, and on more than a few occasions spent more than an hour walking me through procedures and helping me understand not only the specific steps I need to take to complete my duties, but also to understand how what I do affects other areas of the software and/or things that are happening in the background to integrate different elements of the software and allow us to manage our business! Thank you ICS for the excellent product, service, and support you provide!
