Supply Chain Management

The key tasks in the day-to-day operations of equipment rental companies include buying equipment, forecasting demand, managing inventory, processing orders, and handling logistics. 

When the supply chain isn't transparent, problems like late deliveries or equipment sitting unused in warehouses can occur, leading to underutilization and higher carrying costs.

STAEDEAN’s cloud-based rental software has been developed to tackle these issues. It provides real-time updates on inventory, equipment availability, and logistics. 

Automated scheduling and tracking of inventory makes it easier to predict demand accurately and foresee maintenance needs. This helps reduce downtime, cut costs, and make customers happier.

With our cloud-based equipment rental software, you can provide outstanding service, make better use of equipment, and grow your equipment rental business through efficient supply chain management.
