How the register works for a dealer
- Open factory orders come from your ERP or order log export.
- The required date comes from your customer's order or project schedule.
- Factory acknowledgments and emails are read for ship, witness test and emissions package dates, and each date cites the sentence it came from.
- Customer update drafts are prepared for your sales or project coordinator to edit and send.
2026 ranges to plan against
Terrapin lists 50 to 66 weeks for 1,500 to 2,000 kW diesel generators and 30 to 48 weeks for 500 to 1,500 kVA static UPS in 2026 (terrapincg.com, read 2026-09-25). The generator and UPS lead time page has the full table.
Questions
Can it track witness test dates as well as ship dates?
Yes, when the factory puts the date in writing. Each dated gate you list becomes a column, and each date cites the email it came from.
Does it talk to our customers?
No. It drafts the customer update, and your coordinator edits and sends it.
