The Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA) Annual Convention & Exhibitor Showcase takes place May 2–6 at the Grand Hyatt Nashville. This year’s theme, Harmony in Motion, reflects what successful dealers already know—performance happens when sales, rentals, parts, service, and finance operate as one connected lifecycle.
That’s exactly where Sikich comes in.
Visit Sikich at booth 62 to learn how our Equipment Lifecycle Management (ELM) solution, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, is purpose-built for equipment dealers with complex operations.
Most dealer systems are a patchwork of niche tools—rentals in one system, service in another, parts somewhere else. We help dealers move beyond disconnected point solutions to a unified platform that connects CRM, equipment sales, rentals, parts, service management, inventory, finance, analytics, and mobile field service.
One system. One lifecycle. Built to scale on Microsoft’s cloud platform.

Friday, May 15th 2026 at 10:15-11:15 am in Capri 7
Speaker: Mike Loumeau
As organizations rush to adopt AI, many struggle to clearly define what success actually looks like. This session focuses on building a practical, defensible framework for determining ROI and measuring outcomes for AI initiatives across ERP, CRM, and productivity platforms. Attendees will learn how to identify the true cost drivers of AI projects, including data readiness, integration effort, licensing, change management, and ongoing governance, while separating hype from measurable business value.
The session will walk through how to set realistic expectations for AI results, define success metrics upfront, and align AI use cases to tangible outcomes such as efficiency gains, revenue impact, risk reduction, and improved decision-making. Using real-world examples, participants will see how organizations can track progress over time, adjust AI investments based on performance, and communicate results to executive stakeholders. By the end of the session, attendees will have a clear approach to evaluating AI initiatives with the same rigor applied to other strategic technology investments, ensuring AI delivers measurable, sustainable value rather than experimental wins alone.
We look forward to connecting with you in Las Vegas!
