On-Site vs. Cloud-Based Solutions

Quipli offers a highly secure, cloud-based solution that you can connect to at any time and from any location. Point of Rental, on the other hand, relies on an on-premise solution that you must install in a physical datacenter.

These on-site solutions are harder to upgrade (not to mention more expensive) and are inflexible, less secure, and less stable than a solution that can be managed in the cloud 24/7. You’ll also enjoy more uptime with a cloud-based solution like Quipli that has several servers in various state-of-the-art, highly secure facilities across the country.

How Quipli Will Simplify Your Rental Business

By combining an integrated payment system with an effortless online rental experience for your construction rental equipment, Quipli allows you to run an airtight equipment rental platform that is geared for success.

What customers are saying about our rental software

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.

Easy to use POR software that allows us to manage all incoming orders and track assets accordingly. 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.
