EZRentOut

Excellent Platform for Managing Any Rental Fleet!

Kommentare: With EZRentOut, I am able to get rid of all the shared calendars and google doc spreadsheets and use one tool to manage all my assets. I can also use it for booking, and scheduling the event and day-of details. Very helpful!

Vorteile:

Allows us to track and cross-reference assets in a lot of different ways. I can keep track of my fleet of rentals and ensure all our rentals are done well and payments are collected. The layout is very easy and simple. Nothing is overcomplicated and we have also found the customer support to be very efficient.

Nachteile:

There are not as many customization abilities for the platform as there could be. Would be nice if clients knew more of what was available on the calendar. Overall these are small problems.

Best Option for Order Management

Kommentare: The overall experience has been positive. I draft a quote for our customers when asked about prices which helps me track who i have yet to book so that i follow up. I appreciate how easy it is to navigate as well.

Vorteile:

I love that i have a dedicated account manager who is able to answer all my questions. I would have preferred to have gone through each of the options to set up the customer and business side during on boarding. I like how easy it is to customize different things like the invoice and the service agreement i created. I also really love how easy it is to track order status and update the assets.

Nachteile:

I dont like that i cannot track my expenses that are tied to orders. We are a company that owns a fleet of classic vehicles that require quite a bit of maintenance, along with fuel expenses to haul to and from locations, etc. There is not a way to track expenses in this capacity and i would like to see that change. I would also like to see a P&L of sort for each asset. I can add in the cost of the purchase but the repair and maintenance costs are not pulled together where they can be easily compared to show profitability for each asset. I would have to run reports and do math on each asset to find that. I would ideally like to see a field in the asset screen that shows the total cost of ownership and the total income for the asset. I also would like to see the workorder screen have the ability to book mark where i land if i chose to go to work orders. I dont need to see every WO i ever created, typically if im going to the WO page i want to see the open or in progress items.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Asset Panda, Twice Commerce, Point of Rental Software, Booqable und Rentman

Gründe für den Wechsel zu EZRentOut: EZRO had the best support and/or options. I was specifically looking for order management and booking capabilities AND having access to good customer support. Most others do not have a dedicated support team or they were only accessible via email.

Glitchy

Kommentare: It helps us to easily track our assets.

Vorteile:

Ease of tracking our assets. This is literally all I like about this software.

Nachteile:

I have noticed many small things that are not really a major functionality issue, (aside from one that was a big problem), but more strange and confusing. On the bookings page, items that are to be rented out today, sometimes show up green, sometimes just black. I find the green beneficial when there happens to be a long list of upcoming rentals, but that function is not always working. Also, on many occasions, the customer's name on the bookings page will randomly change to my name. If I click on the order, the information within the order is still correct, I just find that quite odd and slightly ignorant. I often have an issue when selecting rent out order where it prompts me to enter tracking info, after I have already done so. Sometimes, it will leave the tracking info there and allow me to choose rent out order a second time, while other times it deletes my tracking number and I have to renter that info. This is not only frustrating, but inefficient. My final and largest complaint is concerning an order that I never received an email about (I have the system set to notify me 2 days in advance and day of order), nor did it ever show up in my bookings list until nearly a week after it was due to be shipped. That one really floored me. I check my bookings list multiple times per workday, and as I previously mentioned, I also have email notifications set up. Overall, the system is ok. I don't love it, but it works to get the job done for the most part.

EZRentout lives up to it's name

Kommentare: Again, the software does my 'thinking' for me, as my biggest demands are ' do i have..." certain items. i can quickly search my database, and see what i have, where i purchased it, how much it rents for, and if it is on the premises. Time is what i've saved...and time is Money. no doubt about it. Once i'm more comfortable with the access for clients, they will be able to search themselves..and that will in turn save me more time. I am happy with EZRentout, and feel the purchase price is well worth the software.

Vorteile:

This software helped us track our inventory. We are a mid sized wardrobe house, and it is very difficult to keep track of real time rentals. (what is in and what is out) This rental software made is so much easier. It is affordable, and does mostly what we require. It does the work for us. It gives me time to think about the running of the business and any real time concerns. My clients are more confident because they can log in, and see what they rented, the condition it was in, and any other concerns they have. We looked at hiring someone to create a rental program for us, and the quotes we received would cost us over 10 years of the EZRentout subscription. !! So, for us it was an easy decision. Free up our thinking brains , let EZRentout take care of the tracking, invoicing, and billing. Customer service is easy to deal with, and we even let our subscription run out by mistake, and were able to just get back on board once we realised the credit card had expired...

Nachteile:

We have been with EZRentout for years. In the early years, there were many changes we needed, and other customers brought them to the attention on the EZRentout team...and now they have been addressed. Our business isn't straightforward...each client is different, with different requirements and individual billing differences. My complaint isn't really a complaint....i would say that because the software is perpetually improving, my complaint is that i keep having to learn new things....but I think that's excellent.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Booqable

Gründe für den Wechsel zu EZRentOut: EZRENTOUT did what i needed done, at a price point i was comfortable with. why build the same thing again? (and pay someone else $10K plus...and, in one case, they would have owned the software...!!) I love the ease of use with EZ rentout. i am an 'old dog' and it helps me learn new tricks. thank you

Mostly everything that we've been looking for

Vorteile:

The amount of customisation and thought towards features that fits a inventory management + equipment rental workflow, is clearly quite thought out. From the get go, we were overwhelmed by the amount of features available in the software. It will take you quite a while to figure it all out. We came over from a failed product development of a similar system with another development company, before finding out about EZRentOut. Should have found this product about 6 months to 1 year earlier.

Nachteile:

The mobile app still feels like it's stuck in 2012. Integration of barcode, QR and RFID scanners could be more intuitive. Check-out and check-in photo checks via cameras could be a feature as well.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: WooCommerce

Warum EZRentOut gewählt wurde: development company could not deliver what we required after nearly 8 months on the project.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu EZRentOut: WooCommerce lacks in terms of overall cohesive integration.
