If you rent out assets, components or products, you may want to keep tabs on their location and manage repair and maintenance related tasks on them more efficiently. Mobile technology has simplified rental management, allowing companies to track the movement as well as activities of out-of-the-office assets in real-time. Smartphones and QR codes are all you need for real-time, on-demand information on assets and hassle-free management.

Top challenges face by equipment rental companies

1. Tracking availability of rental equipment: Adjusting equipment availability, viewing upcoming reservations, and checking in and checking out rental units can be time-consuming if you don’t have the right online system. There is a need to track all the inventory and gain visibility into assets to lower the risk of theft or misplacement.
2. Tracking bookings manually: A software that allows you to set-up different types of availability, complex rates and offer add-ons will save a lot of time and boost productivity.
3. Maintaining equipment: A solution that makes it easy to reference when an item was rented out or often it has been used can help you plan routine repair and maintenance without the need to second-guess. You can also get a pretty accurate idea about when the equipment has reached a state where it can no longer be rented out and quite likely be disposed off.
