Seven Signs You Have Outgrown Tool Tracking

If three or more of these sound like your week, your software should have crossed into rental management a while ago.

  1. Billing lives in spreadsheets
  2. Max cap and rate caps are invisible
  3. Re-rental is a workaround
  4. Every screen is a separate step
  5. The job site sees the wrong thing, or nothing
  6. Finance cannot reconcile cleanly
  7. Growth means more people, not more capacity

Tracking Tells You Where. Management Tells You What It Costs.

Both categories keep equipment accountable.
The difference is what happens after you know where the asset is.

When a rental hits its negotiated cap on a project, where do we see that, and does the system stop billing automatically?

Walk me through renting equipment from an outside vendor and passing it to a job. How do we see cost versus what we charge?
