The Business Problem:

Here's why maintenance matters:

  1. Ensuring Safety: Well-maintained equipment is safer for customers to use. Regular checks and repairs reduce the risk of accidents, protecting both your clients and your business from potential liabilities.
  2. When to sell: Figuring out when to convert a rental asset to a sale can be tricky. The business of pricing your used asset to sell requires collecting information about the unit that may not be readily available without the use of an ERP System.

The Software Solution:

Windward System Five provides several features to assist with the maintenance and upkeep of rentals:

4. Rental Price Schedule Exceptions: Assign preferred pricing to select customers for rentals and labor, which can be beneficial for businesses that want to offer different pricing structures to different customers.

6. Rental Utilization Report: Track how much time each unit has been rented out along with a total rental count so that you can make pricing decisions, schedule maintenance, and even know when to convert a rental unit for sale.
