As you\u2019ve seen so far this year, our team has been working hard at building industry-leading technology such as Rental eSign<\/a> and the Inspection App<\/a>. The best innovations, however, are often found in the details that make our software more efficient and easier to use. As our customers make suggestions to enhance their day-to-day operations, we build the Point of Rental experience into something better each year. Here are a few of the things that we\u2019ve enhanced in v2017:<\/p>\n

First of all, our rate engine<\/strong> has expanded. You can now create a rate engine based not just on the overtime calculation method, hours allowed in a day, days in a week, but also on Customer, Job Site, Contract, Item, or Contract Line Item. This allows you to really customize pricing for each special customer.<\/p>\n

You can change your billing to reflect percentages of a base rate. For example, if you want a four-hour rental to be 80% of a day\u2019s rental, a day to be 100%, a week to be 300%, and a month to be 900%, you can set that up quickly. If you want to raise your prices 10% in the future, you\u2019ll just adjust the base rate and the other rates will automatically be computed. You\u2019ll also be able to bill for Saturday or Sunday (or turn off billing for either of those days). This simply deducts 24 hours from the total hours calculated for a rental item.<\/p>\n

If you decide to use the new base rate option, we\u2019ve created a tool to help you convert items from standard rates to base rates en masse<\/em>. (You should probably try this in training first.)<\/p>\n
