“The aftermarket is positioned for growth in the wake of COVID-19, but the opportunities for increased market share and profitability will almost certainly be dominated by shops, distribution businesses and suppliers with the latest and best technologies,” Hardin said. “Does this mean you need to dramatically increase your tech spend? No, but you might need to redeploy those dollars on solutions that can take you where you really need to go in the coming years.”
Businesses that sign up for a Profit Clinic consultation will automatically be entered into a monthly drawing for $200 Amazon.com Gift Cards. Restrictions apply, see amazon.com/gc-legal. (See www.epicor.com/EPICResults for rules and restrictions.)
