Stabilize Your Trenching & Shoring Business with a Modern Equipment Rental Solution

Managing your trenching and shoring equipment rental business with a patchwork of disconnected spreadsheets and outdated software is just not cutting it.

This is where modern equipment rental software can enable your company to accurately track data and rentals, increase profits, maintain good relationships with your customers, and invest in fleet growth. New equipment rental software systems are a big investment, and we’ve seen how rental companies benefit long term from prioritizing this.

As customer expectations evolve and equipment technology advances, having the right systems in place is no longer optional. It’s critical to use an effective software system with all the features you need to help you stay organized, streamline operations, increase revenue, and enable you to invest in growth and stay competitive.


A good rental system will support your day-to-day business so you can focus on long term growth.

Maximum profitability often relies on having two critical pieces of information. Do you have the right equipment available at the right time to match customer demand? And is the asset serviced and ready to go?

A full-featured equipment rental and service system can help you track this information. Modern systems provide intuitive dashboards where you can access all your important metrics and relevant data at a glance. Imagine having all this data accessible to you all at once in one system and how that might speed up your business transactions!

Having access to this kind of business intelligence will keep you informed about critical day-today business questions that may come up about your fleet, such as:

• (as mentioned) Do you have the right equipment and has it been serviced?
• Do you have enough of the right equipment relative to regular demand?
• Should you be relying on re-rents or sub-rentals for some categories?
• Are your average rates increasing or decreasing over time (relative to market trends and competitors)?
• What is the time utilization of your equipment? Is it sitting idle and costing you money?
• What is the dollar utilization of your equipment compared to your investment?
• Should you dispose of some or all units in a particular category due to low demand and invest in new lines of equipment instead?
• Are some units incurring excessive service and maintenance costs?
• What is the average age of your equipment? Are you risking your equipment becoming obsolete, worn out, or being less competitive compared to your competitors’ equipment?

Do you currently have answers to all these questions at your fingertips? The accessibility of this kind of data can help you make smart business decisions and be organized enough to grow your margins and keep customers happily coming back.

A modern equipment rental system, such as ODT Rentals, can answer all these questions. Itis built for and utilizes Microsoft’s cloud-based Dynamics 365 Business Central accounting/ERP system and provides maximum data security, uptime, and twice annual automated updates to keep your system costs under control.
