Buying a piece of equipment from an #OEM looks so different than it did 10 years ago. Today, most OEMs are no longer just engaged at point of purchase. Now, they're trusted business partners who support their customers long after the equipment is purchased, shipped, and installed. Case in point: a member of our PartnerNetwork: Sani-Matic.
