The scope of equipment-driven rental companies is growing more and more complex. Consequently, A-Z rental project management is the foundation of equipment rental. For example construction projects, advanced crane projects, and scaffolding projects, or combinations that include elements from different industry sectors. The trend is in line with a services-based marketplace. It calls for packaged offerings, either from a single provider or providers working in close partnership.
The demand for end-to-end coverage means that equipment-driven rental companies are taking on everything from full-scale project design, to budgeting, to billing. A single project might involve bulk and serialized equipment, diverse resources, transport, consumables, and other elements.
Coordinating all this can get complicated, to say the least. The goal is to give the customer a unified quote through execution experience. In addition, you need to backed it up with efficient, high-quality equipment and service. Due to the fact, you may be working behind the scenes with multiple internal depots for equipment and resources, sub-rentals from equipment partners in other industries, third-party transport, and legal entities… in short, lots of stakeholders.
