Three Ways Plant Hire Loses Money Quietly.

None of these show up as a single bad day. They show up as a slightly worse quarter, over and over, until someone finally asks why.

Equipment sits idle and nobody notices

Without utilisation data by machine, gear gathers dust in the yard while a customer waits on backorder for the exact same class of equipment.
Inspections and service fall through the cracks

A missed inspection means a customer finds the problem on the jobsite, not your counter finding it before the machine ever left the yard.
Dispatch day turns into chaos

Load weights, drive times, and last-minute changes turn a Friday delivery route into guesswork done on a whiteboard or a spreadsheet.

Your Counter Can't See What Your Yard Already Knows.

A machine fails an inspection out back, but the person quoting it to a customer up front has no way of knowing that yet. So it gets quoted, scheduled, and only caught at the gate, if you're lucky.

Point of Rental puts inventory, inspections, servicing, and dispatch on one source of truth, so every seat sees the same real-time status.

Day at a glance

Deliveries, will-call, services, inspections, and collections for today, or any day, all in one place.
Mobile inspections

Build inspection templates per machine, require manager review, and let a failed checkpoint create a repair order automatically.

Every Truck Is One Bad Route Away from a Missed Window.

Managing a dozen deliveries and pickups against load weights, drive times, and a customer who moved their window twice isn't a job for a whiteboard.

Point of Rental builds and schedules delivery, pickup, and service routes that account for load height and weight, then lets you see every truck in real time.

Load-aware routing

Routes respect height and weight constraints instead of assuming every truck can take every load.
Real-time truck visibility

See trucks live and keep historical data, so customers get an accurate arrival window instead of a guess.

Customers Wait on Hold Just to Pay You.

Checking availability, paying an invoice, or calling a machine off hire shouldn't require catching your counter staff between calls.

Point of Rental puts your catalog, payments, and account access online, so customers can act the moment they decide to.

Online catalog and booking

Availability, rates, and specs stay live on your site, with online quotes importing straight into Point of Rental.
Self-service account portal

Customers see what's on hire, pay invoices, and call items off hire without a phone call to your office.

You Find Out a Machine Underperformed at Tax Time, Not in Time to Fix It.

ROI, utilisation, and repair costs live in your data all year, but if nobody's looking until year-end, every decision they inform is a year late.

Point of Rental puts real-time dashboards in front of the people who decide whether to keep, fix, or sell an asset, not just the people who close the books.

Utilisation by machine

See which assets earn their keep and which ones are quietly costing you yard space.
Lifecycle decisions, backed by data

Age, ROI, and performance thresholds tell you when to keep, repair, or sell, before a machine decides for you.

The Driver, the Yard, and the Office Are All Working off Different Information.

A schedule change made at the counter doesn't help anyone if the driver already left and the yard hasn't heard about it.

Point of Rental automates alerts and gives your team instant internal messaging, so a change made anywhere reaches everyone who needs it.

Instant internal messaging

Reach anyone in the company from desktop or mobile, without trading cell numbers.
Automated alerts

Delivery, inspection, and repair-order updates go out automatically instead of by memory.

Questions, Answered.

What deployment options are available for plant hire?

Point of Rental supports both cloud-hosted and on-premise deployment, so you can choose the model that fits your IT infrastructure and security requirements instead of the other way around.

How does Point of Rental keep inspections and maintenance from falling through the cracks?

Inventory, inspections, servicing, and dispatch all live on one platform. Mobile inspection templates catch problems in the field, and a failed checkpoint can automatically create a repair order, so a bad inspection never just sits in someone's notebook.

Can I plan smarter delivery and service routes?

Yes. Point of Rental builds and optimises delivery, pickup, and service routes that account for load height and weight constraints, and gives you real-time visibility into every truck once it's on the road.

Does Point of Rental handle payments and customer self-service?

Yes. Built-in payment processing covers credit, debit, and ACH, and an online catalog with a customer account portal lets clients check availability, pay invoices, and call items off hire without calling your office.

How do I get visibility into machine utilisation and ROI before it's too late?

Centralised dashboards give you real-time utilisation, ROI, and performance data. Add the Rental Intelligence Suite and AI-powered insights surface underperforming equipment and rising repair costs before they've already cost you the quarter.

Can I track my plant in real time?

Yes. Through our partnership with Hapn, you can see the location of any asset from Elite. Hapn's model works with AEMP, OEM, and third-party tracking, so whether a machine has built-in telematics or a bolted-on GPS device, you can find it with one click.
