is fourth in this yearβs rankings, the companyβs highest-ever placement. InformationWeek identifies and honors the most innovative users of information technology with its annual rankings of 500 leading companies.
This yearβs theme, according to the publication, is digital business.
βWe are honored to be a part of this list for the 14th consecutive year and to be ranked in the top five is an incredible recognition for our teams in IT and Marketing and what they have done to support our used truck product line,β said Bill Stobbart, ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½βs senior vice president of information technology.

ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½ earned its high placement for the major improvements its IT and marketing teams researched and implemented to support the companyβs used commercial truck sales site, .
As IW managing editor Shane OβNeill stated in an article: βThe resulting site looks a lot closer to CarMax.com than an old Web-based catalog. Every type of ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½ vehicle, from a standard cargo van to a refrigerated 18-wheel trailer truck, is searchable on the site.β
These efforts included web design and development incorporating customer experience considerations, database and application website search tools, customer-centric SEO and search terminologies and social media support.
βThese upgrades are essential for ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½ Used Trucks to remain competitive, visible and findable by our B2B customers that include retail truck buyers, truck wholesalers and corporate truck fleet buyers,β said Jack Mitchell, vice president of remarketing.
Last year, ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½βs used truck website and other efforts helped it sell more than 30,000 late-model commercial trucks, semi-trucks, and trailers making it one of the largest used truck sellers in the U.S.
βWe have seen a healthy increase in sales, search position, and delivered a better overall online experience for our used truck customers,β said Ann Walsh, vice president of interactive marketing.
The mobile version of ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½βs used truck site is expected to go live later this month.
