Crane Rental Management

In the highly competitive world of crane rental, revenue and success hinge on effective financial management and operational efficiency. As a crane rental company, you must manage many challenges, such as fluctuating hiring rates, heightened customer negotiation power, optimizing billing, and fast-paced, complex planning. Moreover, you must focus on running safety checklists and hiring crane operators with the necessary qualifications and certifications to ensure crane safety. 

As market trends evolve, staying ahead is essential. Whether you specialize in loader, mobile, crawler, or overhead cranes, our Copilot-enabled Crane Rental Software keeps you informed and agile. 

Our comprehensive solution revolutionizes fleet management, ensuring every crane hour translates into an invoice while simultaneously slashing maintenance and operational costs. You can optimize billing structures, streamline personnel and asset scheduling, verify operator safety, and maintain precise financial and physical ownership. 

Key Challenges

Difficulty tracking availability
The inability to track crane availability results in haphazard scheduling, undermining utilization and revenue. You cannot effectively allocate resources with inaccurate inventory and incomplete visibility into the crane's location. 
High maintenance costs
A lack of proper maintenance leads to increased crane wear and tear, as well as poor operational safety and compliance. You face increased repair expenses with costly replacement parts, missed servicing deadlines, and the unavailability of expertise to provide the necessary service.
Poor spare parts management
Managing fixed parent and child serialized assets such as engines, drive units, winches, and LMI devices could be challenging. When different crane types are involved, it is tricky to handle crane spare parts and serialized attachments for each type.

    Can I plan personnel together with the crane rental?

    Our Crane Rental Management Software in Microsoft D365 F&SCM has an intuitive, comprehensive graphical plan board to streamline the planning, scheduling, transport, and delivery of cranes across projects.

    You can plan personnel, such as operators, drivers, and technicians, along with the crane rental and add staff to fulfill the rental orders, such as crane operators with the crane. Planners can use the advanced search options to assign skilled workers (with certifications) to perform a job. This centralized view to plan and schedule cranes with specialized personnel drastically increases planning accuracy and operator safety.

    Can I track different components or serialized crane parts with separate maintenance schedules?

    Our Crane Rental Software supports componentized and non-componentized asset management, which allows you to easily locate and track different components and serialized parts of a crane. You can conduct unit-level tracking of serialized parts with separate maintenance schedules together and individually.  

    It leverages scanning technologies and helps track each part or component’s usage, maintenance, and repair history to quickly identify issues, schedule necessary maintenance or repairs, and identify lost items.  

    How can I handle invoicing for my crane rental business?

    Our Crane Rental Software helps you deliver services of a varied nature and keep track of every service provided. You can conduct various cost calculations alongside multiple revenue recognition assessments, such as intercompany, consumption-based, and subscription-based billing. The hour-based invoicing system, encompassing equipment and operator hours, seamlessly invoices surplus crane utilization hours.

    This comprehensive and automated invoicing approach mitigates the risk of crane overutilization. It guarantees accurate pricing for registered hours, and the final invoice reflects the work done, safeguarding against potential revenue discrepancies.

    Can I combine and plan standard items (consumables) with the crane rental?

    Yes. You can combine and plan rental cranes with standard items in one rental contract and quickly sell the consumables as part of the main crane rental. For instance, you can rent a crane and individual consumables such as brake shoes or crane cables.

    The Crane Rental Software allows you to build crane rental kits or bundle packages often rented together. This makes it easier for your customers to rent out all the required equipment from one place at competitive prices.

    What service execution or maintenance plans do you support?

    The Crane Management Software supports a wide range of maintenance plans. You can conduct preventive and corrective maintenance that can be time-based, consumption-based (meter-based), or related to recalls. Some maintenance tasks include crane inspection, damage repairs, enhancements or updates, and spare parts changes.

    Planners can also leverage the graphical service plan board to view the availability and capability of technicians and assign jobs accordingly. The field technician receives the job using a mobile app and can access it remotely on the job site.
