Your rental business’s size and degree of maturity can affect which software platform is the best fit for you. Are you a small startup operating out of your home, a single storefront brick-and-mortar outfit, or a large operation with multiple physical locations?
Quipli is designed for the established operator with one or more locations, or digital-first companies that have strong existing businesses. Quipliis the only one of the three that can meet the more complex needs of large multi-location equipment rental companies.
Depending on the size and nature of your rental business, different software platforms might make the most sense for you.
Are you a small operation you’re running out of your own home? Or do you have a brick-and-mortar office and equipment storage area? If so, do you have multiple locations?
Quipli caters to rental businesses of various sizes and maturity levels, ranging from single location general tool rental companies to established heavy equipment operators with multiple locations across entire regions.
