Three Ways Trench Shoring Rentals Lose the Job.

None of these show up as one lost contract. They show up as a customer who calls a competitor next time.

  • Warning triangle iconA contract error means starting the whole thing over

    Zeroing out a contract to fix one line item wastes time on a job that was already tight, and a partial return or shipment nobody tracked makes the next invoice wrong too.

  • Delivery truck iconA dozen deliveries in one day turns into guesswork

    Trench plates, shields, and hydraulic shoring scattered across job sites in a single weekend push routing and load planning past what a dispatcher can track from memory.

  • Broken photo iconA failed inspection with no record becomes a safety question no one can answer

    Without a photo-documented inspection tied to the item and the site, proving a shoring installation met safety standards after the fact is close to impossible.

Zeroing out a Contract to Fix One Typo Isn't How a Rush Order Should Go.

A customer calling for a trench plate in a hurry, or an engineer requesting a custom shoring installation, doesn't leave room for a contract error to turn into a redo from scratch.

Point of Rental makes contracts easy to correct without zeroing them out, manages partial returns and shipments within a single contract, and attaches equipment details and kits directly so available inventory is easy to assess.

  • Correct contracts without starting over

    Fix an error on a contract directly, no zeroing it out to create a new one from scratch.

  • Partial returns & shipments, one contract

    Manage partial returns and shipments within the same contract, with equipment details and kits attached for a fast inventory check.

Setting Up Dozens of Job Sites in One Weekend Leaves No Room to Guess a Route.

Trench plates, shields, and shoring equipment headed to scattered sites, plus load weights that have to be right before a truck ever leaves the yard, turn a busy weekend into a scramble without a plan.

Point of Rental estimates load weights, assigns efficient delivery, pickup, and service routes, and tracks every truck in real time, so crews get where they need to be and customers get an accurate window.

  • Load weight estimating & route planning

    Estimate load weights and assign efficient routes for delivery, pickup, and service, then modify them as new requests come in.

  • Real-time truck tracking

    See every vehicle live and keep historical data, so customers get an accurate arrival and departure time instead of a guess.

A Shoring Installation That Doesn't Meet Safety Standards Is a Liability, Not Just a Callback.

Checking that equipment was installed correctly and meets regional safety standards, without a checklist or a photo record tied to the item, leaves a site's compliance resting on memory.

Point of Rental runs site inspections from preloaded checklists by item type, opens a repair order automatically when a part fails, and captures condition photos in the app, so every inspection is tied to the item, the job, and the employee.

  • Checklist-based site inspections

    Inspect equipment on location against preloaded checklists by item type, assigned to a group or an individual employee.

  • Automatic repair orders & photo documentation

    A failed inspection opens a repair order automatically, with condition photos captured in the app for the record.

Knowing Your ROI Shouldn't Mean Building the Report Yourself.

Utilization, gain/loss, and per-item profitability are sitting in your data somewhere, but without the right report already built, that insight stays locked away from the decision that needs it this week.

Point of Rental catalogs hundreds of reports out of the box, with customizable reporting and a guide that explains what each one shows, so KPIs like ROI, utilization, and gain/loss are a click away, not a project.

  • Hundreds of reports, ready to run

    Pull from a catalog of hundreds of built-in reports covering utilization, ROI, gain/loss, and more, or customize your own.

  • A reporting guide that explains each one

    Know exactly what a report shows before you run it, so the right KPI is never buried in the wrong report.

Your Crews Are on the Job Site, Not Standing at a Counter.

An inspection at the yard, a signature collected on-site, and a customer who calls about an account mid-install, none of it helps if it's not in the same system everyone else is looking at.

Point of Rental puts inspections, eSign, and customer history in your team's pocket with POR One, and CRM keeps every account and sales task mapped in one place.

  • Mobile inspections and eSign

    Perform inspections and capture digital signatures from the field, attached to the item's history automatically.

  • Customer history & task mapping

    CRM keeps rental history and sales tasks visible across the team, so no account falls through the cracks.

  • Ask in plain language and get immediate answers, no report building, no dashboard hunting.
  • Per-item and per-job profitability show exactly what a custom installation actually cost to run.
