Core rental features
All three platforms handle online bookings, availability, and inventory. The differences show up in the yard: Quipli is built around how contractor rentals actually run, from delivery and pickup scheduling to GPS on the machines and ID checks at the counter. Short on a machine? Re-rent one from another vendor on the same order, or transfer units between your locations.

Equipment rental industry
The right platform depends on what you rent and how you run. A contractor-focused equipment yard needs delivery scheduling, GPS on the machines, on-account billing, and U.S. sales tax handled for it. A bike or kayak shop needs something else.
Quipli runs the whole business in one system, from a single location to many: online storefront, dispatch, service and repair, payments, and full accounting.
Construction & Equipment Rental
EZRentOut serves many industries, from construction and oil and gas to AV and events. Rentle (now TWICE Commerce) started in bike, ski, and outdoor retail and has since added resale.
Quipli focuses on equipment and tool rental, from a single yard to operators with locations across a region.

What our customers are saying
Hear directly from rental business owners and operators about how Quipli makes a difference.
Switching to Quipli was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our business. Quipli made our transition incredibly smooth, getting us up and running in about a week with outstanding training and support. Their responsiveness has been a game changer, with replies to issues typically within 1–2 hours and most problems resolved the same day.
Lyndsay Hutt, Equipment Rental Source
Continually amazed by Quipli's customer service. Their system is designed to funnel in customers to our rental business and allow us to handle the volume via software. We have seen vast month over month increases on their platform.
Brandon C., Top-Notch Rentals
Review on Google(opens in a new tab)After being in the rental industry for the past 10 years running a very dated software, I can't explain how awesome it is to finally be switching to Quipli. The customer service is honestly impressive. Quipli is the future of the equipment rental world.
Jake R., Arapahoe Rental
Review on Capterra(opens in a new tab)Quipli has everything we currently need and they are constantly rolling out new features. The main difference for us was simple pricing that didn't “fee” you to death and like I said before, the people make the difference.
Kyle F., Miller’s Ace Hardware
Review on Capterra(opens in a new tab)We recently switched to Quipli after having a not so good experience with another software company. Not only did Quipli give us a fully functioning system with a website, but they did it in only 3 weeks. It is so easy to use, and the support team is out of this world.
Alicia M., Manager
Review on Capterra(opens in a new tab)We joined Quipli after running on another large name software company for over 10 years. The level of service from Quipli is second to none. Constant communication and asking how they can help make our day to day easier and more efficient.
