Technology Partnering
We believe that successful rental companies are looking for more than just a software vendor they're looking for a technology partner. We use our technical expertise to help rental businesses integrate new software tools and hardware technologies into their rental systems.
For example, we provide automated links to some of the most popular and widely-acclaimed accounting packages, including SAP, Great Plains eEnterprise, J D Edwards, MAS 90/200, Peachtree, Quickbooks, and others. Other integrated product offerings include fax and email capabilities, credit card processing, mapping software, PartSmart, drivers license imaging (including capturing the customers picture and signature), formless printing, barcoding, and new wireless technology, including handheld PDAs. Our exclusive Alert RenTrain Connection provides instant access to product safety, specifications, and operational information, and allows the ability to take orders online.
As your rental technology consultant, we encourage partnerships with local hardware and network companies. We utilize these local partnerships to assist in the implementation of the latest LAN/WAN network solutions and interstore communications options, such as Internet-based VPNs (Virtual Private Networks).
