Eazi Access is a long term DynaRent customer. Their organization has been using DynaRent for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 for nearly 7 years. They’ve successfully merged DynaRent into their ERP platform and processes. Over the past few years, we’ve been working with the company. This way we incorporated Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online into their DynaRent rental, sales, and service processes.

In early 2016, a new investor for Eazi Access propelled the group into a more ambitious growth strategy. Since than they further expand the business. All the dots connected: Eazi Access researched and saw the benefits of using a cloud-based platform. Especially one that combined ERP and CRM together with mobile field service and offline functionality.

The total solution needed to balance the latest IT innovations. Including the challenges of local Internet connectivity and industry-specific needs for equipment rental and service.

After a rigorous evaluation, Eazi Access selected the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Cloud Strategy and DynaRent for Dynamics 365. This is the solutions set that speaks to their well-defined growth goals.

“DynaRent has enabled our company to grow our customer base. While still ensuring that we give diverse customers the exact equipment and services they need. It pleases us to take that value with us as we continue to expand.”  Jean Du Randt, Chief Strategy Officer for Eazi Access."
