An Important Note on Customer Support and Pricing

Among equipment rental SaaS solutions, you’ll find a wide range of support options – and quality. Be sure to diligence this when exploring providers. Some Point of Rental customers, for example, have reported a $75 charge for each support call and over a week in average response time while other options outsource their support centers outside of the United States. Quipli’s average response time during business hours is less than five minutes, and at no additional charge.

Customer Segments

The rental industry is a broad space with a wide range of different sub-niches. Along with heavy equipment rental companies, there are also rental businesses specializing in golf carts, outdoor gear like kayaks, and more.

Here’s how different equipment rental SaaS platforms stack up for different types of rental businesses.

Construction & Equipment Rental

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.

Level of Maturity	Quipli	Booqable	EZRentOut	Rentle	Point of Rental	Rentrax	Alert

Brick and Mortar

Other Rental Niches

Along with your company’s size and maturity level, your specific rental equipment niche is also a factor that can affect which software platform you should use. For example, party and event rental may opt for a system like Booqable, whereas general tool and construction equipment may find a better fit in Quipli.

In addition to a core focus on providing solutions for construction equipment rental outfits, Quipli also caters heavily to businesses in the recreational rentals, medical rentals, and mobility rentals spaces.

Among equipment rental SaaS solutions, most providers will offer either comprehensive documentation; a live support service; or both.

Thank you Quipli for not only providing a great service but being a partner. Since onboarding with Quipli, we have been able to take our rental business to heights.

The team at Quipli has gone above and beyond to ensure that whatever requests we have is taken care of. Has really helped to streamline the whole rental process which takes stress off me as a business owner to focus on other matters. Couldn’t say enough great things about this company!

“Quipli POR Software”

Overall: Quipli has gone above and beyond to insure that their software caters to my companies specific needs. Not only do they ensure that their software is meeting all of our needs, but they all provide top-notch customer service. If I have an issue or a question the team is quick to respond within in minutes, if not instantly.

Pros: Ease of use on the backend makes it simple to track orders and see which asset is with which customer.

Cons: A lot of extra steps on the customer facing side that creates more time between processing orders.

“So Happy we Found them!”

Overall: Extremely pleased. One of the few companies that when talking to them in the "sales phase" to "on boarding", all the promises were met. If they weren't able to deliver on something they were up front and honest and able to provide options to best suit us. We chose Quipli for this very reason.

Pros: Ease of use and ability to talk directly with the staff that can answer complex questions and receive user feedback.

Cons:Only negative they have is that they haven't been around very long which hasn't given them enough time to build all the features they have in the works. However, they are delivering weekly on new features and I'm very excited to see what else they bring to the market.

Reasons for Switching to Quipli: Navotar didn't produce the product they promised and that we paid for.
