Keeping track of equipment is a challenge for many organizations — but it’s particularly difficult for companies in the Rental Industry. Managing the location, custody and status of every individual piece of rental equipment, as they move from one job site to another, is critical for organizations like this. Lack of inventory accountability negatively impacts the bottom line.
Rental equipment can also have the challenge of getting worked hard. It’s important to be able to access the asset history in regards to maintenance and warranties to maintain high service levels and keep the rental equipment running properly.
Tracking Rental Equipment
Over the years, A2B Tracking has worked with a number of companies in the rental industry to provide RFID Asset Management systems. A2B Tracking’s military-proven technology is well suited to support organizations that require 100% inventory accuracy and asset visibility, especially for inventories that move frequently to and from customer work-sites on delivery trucks.
Taking advantage of RFID and advanced barcode technologies significantly improves the visibility of rental equipment and at the same time reduces the amount of labor required to perform these inventories.
A2B Tracking technology is cloud-based which allows multiple locations (storage facilities, warehouses, offices, delivery trucks, etc) to maintain and store all of this asset data in one centralized software system. This secure, cloud-based system provides anytime, anywhere access for the entire organization, which improves visibility and accountability across the business. A2B Tracking’s RFID tags are designed with durability in mind and will affix to any asset and remain affixed for the full life of the asset.
American Rental Association
The American Rental Association (ARA) is the international trade association for equipment and event rental operations, as well as, for the suppliers and manufacturers of rental equipment. The ARA is a membership driven organization with currently more than 12,000 active members. A2B Tracking is proud to have recently joined the American Rental Association and look forward to connecting to that community to help with tracking rental equipment.
