Business Situation
Why Ainscough needed a rental solution
Ainscough wanted to improve the collaboration between their sales, maintenance, rental, and finance teams. They wanted to gain real-time insight into their assets and operations so that they could make business-critical decisions quickly. Without real-time information, Ainscough had trouble using their resources well, which resulted in more equipment downtime, less efficiency, and more waste.
Ainscough was looking for a robust rental system that would help their teams work better together and enable them to get real-time updates. This would help them improve efficiency, maximize crane utilization, and increase profitability.

To fix the above challenges, Ainscough chose To-Increase’s rental software solution DynaRent for Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM.
