After introducing Rental Elite earlier this year, we\u2019re looking forward to hearing what those companies are implementing in 2017.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elite Events &amp; Rentals won the Expert category for their use of Dispatch Center.

They also enhanced customer satisfaction with advance delivery notifications and by providing accurate information through real-time insight when customers called asking what time their items would arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Epic Event Rental won the Essentials category with their Online Store, using Essentials\u2019 web services to tie their inventory management to an online storefront. This feature helped the company provide a new level of customer service. Customers were able to use the web portal to reserve equipment online and get confirmation that items were available in real time, helping boost Epic\u2019s earnings 30% over 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The International Innovation Awards take place each year at Point of Rental\u2019s International Conference.
