More and more people (and companies) strive to have equipment ‘available’ instead of ‘own’ the equipment. And for good reasons: always the latest model, no space required when the equipment is not used, no maintenance, no insurance, no entry on your assets, etc.
As a result, equipment rental companies are booming.
And this is not only valid for heavy equipment. The world is changing rapidly:
- Do you still buy CD’s or are you using Spotify or YouTube Music for your favorite music instead?
- Are you still buying DVD’s or are you watching Netflix (or similar movie services)?
- Do you still own a car for eventualities or do you make use Greenwheels?
Availability is key! And consequently RENTAL IS BOOMING!
In the Equipment Rental business, two aspects are real differentiators: Price and service.
Availability during the rental period is key. So ‘service’ is a differentiator for an equipment rental company. Are you flexible and able to replace your rented equipment quickly, if necessary? Do you have a good service ‘track record’ in the field? Is there a ‘planned maintenance schedule’ for the equipment that you rent?
Hopefully, you are an expert in service.
But is your information system able to support you in this service execution? Is your spare-parts management right? Too many spare-parts cost you a lot of money, but too few spare-parts even more.
