Editor’s Note: This blog was written by Rouse and SmartEquip, a pair of our International Conference 2024 sponsors.<\/em><\/p>\n

SmartEquip and Rouse Services are two of Point of Rental\u2019s trusted software integration partners, and the union makes perfect sense. SmartEquip and Rouse Services provide complementary, cutting-edge services that support all stages of the equipment lifecycle.<\/p>\n

Rouse delivers reporting on industry benchmark rental rates, utilization, and equipment values to enable them to make asset management, purchasing, and disposition decisions with confidence.<\/p>\n

SmartEquip, meanwhile, has specialized in the parts procurement and service support business for over two decades. Point of Rental customers add SmartEquip to their tech stack to connect them directly with their suppliers, as well as update their work and purchase orders on a single platform, enabling dynamic, serial-number-specific support of all equipment in their fleet. This access allows POR customers to implement consistent process, for every brand of equipment, at every location. With one consistent workflow, the platform makes the process easy to train and even easier to use.<\/p>\n

The two services combine to create a unified, customer-first support system for used equipment lifecycle management.<\/p>\n

What is equipment lifecycle management?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The equipment lifecycle spans from an asset\u2019s initial acquisition to its eventual retirement. Ritchie Bros., part of the RB Global, Inc. alongside Rouse and SmartEquip, offers multiple transaction solutions, such as auctions and listing platforms, for an asset\u2019s change in ownership along its full lifecycle, to maximize the value for both buyer and seller. SmartEquip offers solutions designed to maximize the value of ownership itself \u2013 in other words, while the asset is held, rather than sold. Rouse enables fleet owners to maximize their return on assets throughout the equipment lifecycle and at the time of disposition by providing insights around the value of assets, their rental performance, and the right time to sell.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll break down the several stages \u2013 Planning & Deployment, Utilization & Maintenance, and Disposition \u2013 and show you where Rouse and SmartEquip can support Point of Rental customers at every phase of the journey.<\/p>\n

If you are in the initial acquisition step of your journey, Ritchie Bros. offers multiple ways to purchase equipment based on your needs.<\/p>\n
