Alan’s Lawn & Garden Center is a trusted multi-location outdoor power equipment dealership serving homeowners, landscapers, and more than 200 city and government agencies across Southern California.
After more than three decades in business, the team had built a strong reputation for reliability and service. But in a region with ten dealerships within ten miles, staying competitive meant working smarter, not harder.
Owner Paul Sullivan wanted a system that connected sales, service, and online orders in one place. When he switched to Flyntlok, he gained a modern DMS that unified operations, automated his Shopify storefront, and gave his team real-time visibility into every part of the business.
“I’ve got 800 products on my website. Trying to maintain what I have in stock and what my cost is when it changes three times a year is a lot of work.”
- Paul Sullivan, Owner of Alan's Lawn & Garden Center.
Alan’s Lawn & Garden Center used Shopify for online sales and Ideal for daily operations, but the two systems did not communicate. Every update, sale, or price change required manual entry, creating extra work and confusion across the team.
The dealership’s main challenges:
As orders grew, so did the workload. Paul knew it was time to replace manual processes with a single, connected system built for modern dealerships.
Switching to Flyntlok gave Alan’s Lawn & Garden Center one connected platform for sales, service, and online orders. What once required multiple systems and manual updates now happens automatically.
“Having inventory and pricing automatically updated because my people are already doing that work in Flyntlok is what I wanted.”
Paul Sullivan, Owner of Alan's Lawn & Garden Center
