Background<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Elite Events & Rentals<\/a> is a full-service party and event rental company. Their mission is to provide Tampa-area communities with the finest event rental equipment for any occasion. Brandon Ahlgren, the company\u2019s owner, and his team strive to establish lasting relationships through flexible, convenient and efficient service. With a caring, professional and courteous staff dedicated to creating beautiful memories to last a lifetime, Elite Events & Rentals has grown quickly since their founding in 2007.<\/p>\n

Problem<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It was 2012 and Elite Events & Rentals was earning less than $1 million in revenue. Ahlgren thought perhaps his company \u201cwasn\u2019t ready yet\u201d for Point of Rental, but as he continued to do his research\u2026<\/p>\n

Solution<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u2026he decided to join the Point of Rental family, installing the software in early 2013 after a search through competing software options. Aside from providing excellent software, Ahlgren found that Point of Rental\u2019s 24\/7 support promise was legitimate \u2013 he called companies\u2019 support lines late at night and found himself talking to a Pointer.<\/p>\n

Result<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ahlgren started with one user license on one computer, and now he\u2019s up to 15 users in two locations. \u201cWe\u2019ve added Fulfillment, we\u2019ve added POs, we\u2019ve added Dispatch,\u201d said Ahlgren. \u201cEverything we do, it just makes our lives easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s used customer reports to discover which customers hadn\u2019t rented in a while, following up with them to renew the relationship. He\u2019s added damage waivers to his contracts. By entering component pieces of his equipment, inventory control is now a breeze, from pulling items to loading them on trucks and ensuring his team brings everything back.<\/p>\n

As his company continues to grow, Ahlgren\u2019s favorite part of working with Point of Rental is that the company puts a high value on innovation and growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ownership of the company and the people are always trying to improve the system, which really makes our life easier,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With a continually evolving software, caring support team at the other end of the line, and a growth mindset, Elite Events & Rentals\u2019 outlook is bright in sunny Central Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
