Selling and servicing equipment is a great business to be in, but there are plenty of challenges as the business grows. Your company may offer a combination of sales, service, reconditioning, and rental. If you end up turning to multiple software solutions to manage your data and processes, it becomes hard to know where you are making (or even losing) money and can leave your team frustrated with an inefficient process.
A good Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution can help. By using one software solution to manage all departments, you'll save time, energy and money that would otherwise be lost trying to grow your business with multiple disparate systems.
Consider the following scenario
You purchase a new piece of equipment for your rental fleet. That piece of equipment is then upfitted, modified, and rented out to your customers. You have it repaired as needed. After a few years, you resell that piece of equipment. Can you easily track the purchase cost, labor cost, parts cost, rental income, and sales income on that one piece of equipment? Using multiple systems that lack centralization to track the costs would be disjointed and inefficient, ultimately resulting in time wasted and lost profits.
However, if you can track equipment history, service & repair, rental, and sell the equipment with fully integrated software for equipment rental companies, then you can have clear insight into which products and services are making you money and which ones need your attention.
