Construction Software Companies & Consultants in Anchorage, AK

Overview

Flyntlok is an Anchorage, Alaska software company that makes a dealer management system for businesses selling, renting and servicing equipment. The product runs in a web browser and pulls the main departments of a dealership into one environment, so parts counters, service bays, rental desks, sales staff and accountants all work from the same records.

The company says its team comes from the dealership industry itself, and it presents that background as the reason the software reflects how dealers actually work.

Core capabilities

Since the system is hosted in the cloud, a dealer needs no server of its own, and staff can sign in from any device. Data entered in one area is meant to carry through to the others, which cuts down on rekeying. The platform is organized around these functions:

• Parts and inventory: tools for ordering, stocking and selling parts with less delay.
• Service management: work orders followed from intake through to the final invoice.
• Rental management: a view of what is available, plus contracts and returns.
• Accounting and finance: ledgers built to close without entering the same figures twice.
• Point of sale: counter sales completed in seconds.
• CRM: lead, quote and follow-up tracking that lives inside the DMS rather than in a separate product.
• AI for dealers: automation of the routine administrative tasks that surround each deal.

Industries served

Flyntlok divides its market into five dealer verticals. Outdoor power equipment dealers are addressed with a focus on high unit volume and quick counter turnover. Construction and heavy equipment dealers are offered help with involved service jobs on expensive machines.

For agriculture, the company speaks to the busy and quiet stretches of the farming year and to the relationships dealers hold with farm customers. Dealers of trucks, trailers and buses are pitched on keeping vehicles running, and material handling businesses are supported in road service and in managing fleets covered by preventive maintenance agreements.

Integrations

Connectivity is a major theme. The company lists twelve manufacturer integrations, including Kubota, which it identifies as an official DMS partner, along with Develon, John Deere, Hitachi, AGCO, Stihl, Bobcat, Toro and Exmark, Volvo, PACCAR (covering Peterbilt and Kenworth), Grasshopper and SANY. Depending on the brand, the connection brings in live price files, parts lookups, order status, warranty records or serialized machine and inventory data.

Four finance integrations are available: Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online, Gravity Payments for card processing built into checkout, and Xero for dealers in Australia and New Zealand. Two telematics partners, Samsara and Motive, bring in machine location, hours, miles and fault codes. A Shopify link allows dealers to sell parts and machines through a web store.

Resources for buyers

For dealers evaluating a change of system, Flyntlok offers a DMS buyer's checklist for scoring each vendor the same way, an ROI calculator, a migration planning tool and a comparison against legacy systems.

It also maintains a library of guides, videos, webinars, event listings, release notes, a blog, press coverage and a podcast called Flyntlok Unlocked, hosted by Jenny Moebius. One showcased customer story involves White's Tractor, a Bobcat dealer that connected four locations and gained wider visibility across its business.

GPS Alaska is an Anchorage-based supplier of positioning technology and related software for the construction and surveying trades. The company works with contractors, surveyors and engineers across Alaska. It helps them adopt machine control, GNSS and field data tools. These tools are meant to raise output, tighten accuracy and reduce the number of workers on foot around heavy equipment.

GPS Alaska identifies itself as the authorized Topcon Positioning Systems dealer for Alaska, and most of its lineup comes from that manufacturer.

Products and software

The catalog is organized by type of work. For earthmoving, GPS Alaska offers dozer, grader and excavator guidance systems at several levels. These range from 2D indicate setups for compact equipment to fully automatic 3D control. The earthmoving category also includes haul truck monitoring and reporting through Sitelink3D v2, drill rig guidance, and engcon tiltrotators.

Paving and milling crews can choose from screed control, 3D milling, stakeless curb and gutter automation, road surface scanning and intelligent compaction. Beyond heavy equipment, the company covers survey instruments and field software, building construction tools, drones, GNSS repeater kits, and weighing and monitoring equipment.

• Earthmoving guidance: MC-Max, MC-X, 3D-MC, 2D-MC, mmGPS, MC-Mobile, iDig and SharpGrade
• Paving and milling: P-32 systems, TH-M1 thermal mapping, SmoothRide and C-53 compaction
• Connected jobsite tools: Sitelink3D remote support and haul reporting
• TopNET Live, a live correction network for GNSS receivers operating in Alaska
• Survey gear, drones and UAVs, repeater kits and building construction solutions

How they work with clients

Buyers get more than hardware. GPS Alaska staff handle installation and calibration, which the firm says usually takes no longer than a couple of days for most products. Training follows, and the team keeps helping while crews learn the new systems. Technical support is available around the clock. Technicians connect to equipment over WiFi or cellular links to diagnose faults.

If a remote fix is not possible, they send someone to the site. Topcon certified technicians perform repairs either in the field or at the company's Anchorage facility, so equipment does not need to be shipped out of state. Many problems are resolved on the day a customer calls. Rental options are also offered.

The firm builds its approach around fitting technology to the machines and processes a contractor already uses. It favors systems that are easy for operators to learn, and it keeps clients current as newer tools reach the market. Its stated aim is to help Alaskan businesses cope with labor shortages and supply chain uncertainty. It does this by helping them get more from each crew and machine, so they can take on additional work and expand.

What sets them apart

For buyers comparing construction technology vendors, GPS Alaska's main distinctions are its local presence and its dealer status. Remote job sites and harsh conditions make downtime costly in Alaska, so certified repair capability and support staff within the state matter. A customer testimonial on the site points to quick, responsive answers when problems come up.

The company also publishes articles on topics such as Sitelink3D remote support, field software for surveyors and Topcon machine control in Alaskan conditions. It operates from an office in Anchorage and serves customers throughout the state.
