Graceland Portable Buildings, a manufacturer and distributor of portable buildings, reports it has acquired ShedSync, a dealer technology platform designed specifically for the portable building industry.
The acquisition represents a significant investment in Graceland’s long-term strategy to modernize the dealer experience and provide independent portable building dealers with advanced digital tools traditionally available only to much larger organizations.
Founded to help shed dealers automate inventory management, digital marketing, and lead generation, ShedSync provides dealers with automated inventory synchronization, AI-powered social media marketing, lead management, multi-location inventory tools, competitive intelligence, and fully branded dealer websites.
The platform was purpose-built for the unique needs of portable building retailers and manufacturers.
“This acquisition is about much more than software,” says Greg French, CEO of Graceland Portable Buildings. “The portable building industry is undergoing rapid transformation. Consumers increasingly expect online shopping experiences, real-time inventory visibility, digital communication, and immediate access to information. Our dealers need tools that allow them to compete and thrive in that environment.”
Through the acquisition, Graceland plans to further develop the platform and integrate additional capabilities that help dealers manage inventory, improve online visibility, generate leads, and streamline customer engagement.
According to Graceland leadership, the acquisition also supports the company’s broader digital strategy, which includes online sales initiatives, dealer website enhancements, customer lead management systems, and expanded dealer marketing support.
“We see a future where independent dealers have access to enterprise-level technology without enterprise-level complexity or costs,” says French. “Our goal is to create the industry’s most comprehensive dealer success platform, combining great products, great service, great marketing, and great technology.”
The acquisition follows a series of strategic investments by Graceland, including advanced manufacturing technology, expanded production capacity, Epicor 3D configurator, enhanced dealer support programs, and the company’s recently announced NextGen Dealer Program, which focuses on helping dealers increase profitability, improve operational efficiency, and drive long-term growth.
“ShedSync becomes another important piece of our NextGen Dealer Program and our commitment to helping dealers grow profitable businesses,” concludes French. “We believe technology should empower dealers, not replace them.”
