Multi-location heavy equipment dealer with rentals, service, and parts across Indiana and Michigan
MacAllister Machinery operates a 45+ location equipment dealership and rental network across Indiana and Michigan, anchored by Caterpillar inventory alongside 50+ other brands. The tech stack—IBM i, AutoCAD, Power Platform, Smartsheet, Power BI—reflects a traditional equipment business digitizing operations rather than building software. Active hiring spans operations (126 roles), engineering (107), and sales (47), with project focus clustering around training coverage gaps, remote monitoring, and electric power equipment installation—suggesting operational scaling pressure and a shift toward higher-margin service and technical offerings.
