Increased demand for equipment coupled with industry-wide worker shortages are challenges that are putting even the most efficient equipment rental companies to the test.
Rental companies today need systems that do more than simply manage rental transactions.
In October 2022, the American Rental Association (ARA) published a list of features that every rental management software should include but that many equipment rental companies are not currently using to their optimal advantage.
Each of these functional areas is covered by Rental360, a complete cloud equipment rental solution built into the Acumatica ERP platform. These essential features are:
- Quote/Contract Management
