Fort Worth, Texas<\/strong> \u2014 Point of Rental has acquired Rental Hosting<\/a>, a web design\/hosting company that builds integrated websites for rental businesses.<\/p>\n

The acquisition marks another step in the company\u2019s prioritization of eCommerce functionality. It acquired RentItOnline<\/a>, another eCommerce platform, late in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we move eCommerce to the forefront, both as a company and as an industry, this acquisition gives us the resources to do so in innovative, thoughtful ways,\u201d said Point of Rental CEO Wayne Harris. \u201cThis will bring our teams closer together for collaboration earlier in the development process and allow us to better serve our customers\u2019 needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rental Hosting provides fully integrated websites uniquely built for rental businesses, including eCommerce, customer portals, and online payments. Their sites display rental and sales inventory, show instructions and videos associated with each item, provide shopping cart functionality, capture customer contact information, and automate quotes. In addition, integrated customer portals allow customers to manage their own contracts, view items on rent (including job sites), pay contracts, and submit quote requests within a dedicated portal.<\/p>\n

\u201cRental Hosting and Point of Rental have been a part of the same family, same community, for years,\u201d said Rental Hosting CEO Caleb Yell. \u201cThis move won’t affect current Rental Hosting customers during the transition, and they\u2019ll reap the benefits of our closer collaboration with Point of Rental\u2019s development team as we build an even more tightly integrated eCommerce process.\u201d<\/p>\n
