The Equipment Tracker was formed to provide large and small contractors a cost saving, one site solution to manage any potential equipment needs. Whether you need to rent, purchase or manage your fleet from coast-to-coast, you need to look no further! The Equipment Tracker is meant for you!
The Equipment Tracker was founded by partners with over 30 years of experience in the equipment rental and construction industry. With the large rental corporation’s acquiring so many local rental companies and your local rental companies having such huge turnovers with their sales staff, contractors can't always get the consistency, service or answers they need and deserve in a timely manner.
The Equipment Tracker
For the large contractor, we have not forgotten about you! Check out our proprietary cost savings Rental Manager software. This site will allow you to track all rental equipment you have on rent from all rental companies. It also helps you call off the most cost effective piece every time, according to your schedule! Using this cost savings program, your purchasing agents or persons in charge of rental equipment can manage every project, coast-to-coast, making educated decisions when ordering new equipment, transferring owned equipment or calling equipment off rent. This can translate into huge savings most companies never knew about until now. And can result in a huge advantage when bidding on projects against your competition!
Why does it save you so much money? Not only due to all of the time it saves your staff or the money it saves due to human error, such as forgetting to call a piece of equipment off rent or losing pick up numbers, or the rental companies mis-billing you! This Program allows customers to pull their schedule and compare all like pieces of equipment that are on rent from every rental company and call off most cost effective piece every time.
In years past contractors have used dry erase boards, purchased order books created Excel spread sheets and used many other methods to try to manage mass amounts of equipment. Not only did it take up the customer’s time, but it didn’t allow them to make the most cost effective decisions when calling off equipment. Their options were to contact their sales rep or rental company and ask them to call which ever unit they or the foreman wanted. You no longer have to rely on a sales rep to call off the piece(s) they feel like because they will typically leave the equipment on rent that makes more money for them. In addition, you will not have to concern yourself with being fair when calling off equipment, if you have multiple rental companies on the same project.
Relationships in the rental industry are very important, however, they can be very expensive. No matter how good your relationship is with your rep, at the end of the day they are trying to make as much money possible from your company. It would be more profitable to them if you just take the easy way by calling off the free equipment and keeping the more costly one on your project. The bottom line is your money, your budget and your schedule.
As a contractor you would not allow anyone outside of your company to make important financial decisions for you. The same should apply to your rental budget. You need every advantage you can to help maximize your profits. You work too hard negotiating a good bid from the rental companies so don’t allow them to choose because they will make it back at your expense. It is common for subs to make up their low bids by changing orders throughout a project. The rental companies have a billing cycle that makes it very complicated to understand what the customer’s true costs are on each piece of equipment from day to day, especially when trying to track multiple units on multiple job sites. The Equipment Tracker will not allow you to rent unneeded equipment for your job sites anymore, but allow you to utilize the units you have already paid for. Factoring in all the advantages of our program you will see an average savings of 25% on all your rental dollars spent annually.
In closing, The Rental Manager will allow you to take complete advantage of those great rates you negotiated by tracking all of your equipment for you!!
The Equipment Tracker Features:
• Tracks all active equipment by cost and equipment type.
• Allows the customer to call off the most cost effective equipment according to their schedule, resulting in huge savings (almost always goes unnoticed by customer without this program).
• Allows the customer to see all equipment that’s in its free period. Now the customer can utilize their free equipment on that or any project by transferring and saving the cost for an additional unit. Until this program, there was no easy way to track free days and help the customer utilize all of this free equipment by filtering all active equipment from all rental companies. It is very common for a company to call off equipment they didn’t know was in its free period on one project and order the same type unit for another, resulting in lost money.
• Alarm function to help the customer remember to call off equipment when day ends (very common and can cost money due to extra billing days and lost or damaged equipment after pulling off the job).
• Allows the customer to manage all equipment cost by equipment type, project and rental company.
• Runs customized reports for any job, equipment or rental company analysis.
• Tracks customer owned equipment for cost and maintenance purposes.
• Allows the customer to tag notes on equipment that had billing or mechanical issues (down time or wind days, etc…).
