Software for Hire Companies – Rental Management Software

Software for rental companiesIf you own or run a hire or rental company, finding the right software for your hire or rental company can be a minefield.  Most are legacy based (meaning they are very old with out of date technology) and others are ridiculously expensive for what little they offer.  Today everything is mobile and more people are on the move, meaning software that is accessible anywhere in the world, at any time and on any device is what prevails as the best solution for the modern world.

New Technology

HireHop is brand new, built using the latest cloud technologies, thus enabling it to offer new modern features, not available in any other rental management software. It is intuitive, easy to use, yet it has the functionality, and more, necessary to run a successful hire business. An example of this is email, which is the modern form of communication. No other rental management software allows you to store and view emails against jobs and projects, whether they be sent or received using Outlook, Thunderbird or a variety of other email clients. Another example is how when users check the same job in or out, their terminals communicate with each other, updating each others lists instantly and automatically, without any user intervention.

Affordable

HireHop have also adopted an affordable and transparent price structure.  Most other software products available for the hire and rental industry, the price is on application, meaning they charge you as much as they can get away with.  As HireHop is cloud based, we charge a low monthly fee dependant on how many users you have.

Easy to Use and Implement

As HireHop is cloud based, it runs on any device with a web browser, at any time and from anywhere in the world, without the need for a costly and complicated infrastructure, all you need is an internet connection connection and a machine with a web browser.

Should I hire or buy?

This is the question that many people consider – Should I hire or buy?

It really depends on the following three questions:

  1. Does the product have multiple long term usage?
  2. Does it cost much to purchase?
  3. Is it a specialist product you have no knowledge of?

Whilst idealistically you may want to buy, hiring or renting a product provides a great way of trying a product before you buy. If it is of a high value, hiring allows you to use a product that you wouldn’t normally use.   And if the product or indeed service is just for a one off – such as wedding clothes, van hire then it is pointless investing in a high value product that will not be used.

The hiring market in the UK is far bigger than many would consider and there are multiple suppliers across many sectors that are willing to offer products or services for hire.

If there is a high value product then hiring allows a user to test products to ensure that they are a  good fit and this ensures that you don’t waste money on something that you then want to exchange. This is a great option for Consumers and also Businesses.

Some of the most popular hire products in the UK include Cars, Sound and Lighting equipment, Catering equipment and Wedding Hire.

In summary look at the three questions above and should be self explanatory whether you should buy or hire.
