Heavy Equipment and Construction Rental Management

To stay ahead in a competitive industry, heavy equipment and construction rental companies need to maintain high-quality, up-to-date equipment that’s readily available for delivery. 

Without advanced construction equipment rental software, companies face challenges in providing flexible pricing options to customers, getting end-to-end visibility into inventory, forecasting demand, handling delivery and returns, and scheduling maintenance.  

STAEDEAN’s heavy equipment rental software, embedded into Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM, has been developed with advanced features to address the unique needs of heavy equipment and construction rental companies for smoother operations and enhanced customer satisfaction. 

As construction companies commonly operate on a project-based model, our construction equipment rental software is designed explicitly for project-driven rentals and also supports simple rental processes when required 

Powered by Microsoft’s Copilot, Azure, and Power Platform, our construction and heavy equipment rental software addresses key tasks such as equipment rental, sub-renting, accounting for additional expenses, budgeting, inventory management, and more.

Inefficient logistics management
If done manually, equipment delivery to customer sites and bulk equipment returns for the next rental can lead to errors, delays, and customer dissatisfaction.

Equipment monitoring

Efficiently track rental equipment by accessing and updating real-time data on availability, condition, maintenance schedules, and location. Monitor equipment bookings, returns, and usage in real time.

Project management
