FG Wilson global dealer network

Increasing global sales through responsive local websites

  • Improved online customer experience
  • Faster website deployment
  • Global control with local marketing

In 2013 we were approached by FG Wilson, a wholly owned subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., to design and build a bespoke content management platform, providing websites for their global network of 370 dealerships operating in over 150 countries.

"We have had great success working with Psand over the past number of months. They have given us the correct tools to develop our dealers online offerings. They are very thorough in their work and have a great way of explaining the website functions and content management system to staff who are both beginner and advanced users. Their experience, ability and knowledge is evident in the way that they work and deal with the various teams throughout FG Wilson. I would highly recommend Psand to anyone looking for a bespoke website and content management system / solution."
