How TSA Safety Services' rental business was able to grow thanks to RentMagic's rental software
TSA Safety Services had a small rental branch but an ever-growing ambition. RentMagic's rental software enabled the rental of materials to grow through automation of invoicing and inventory management. The insight into the rental fleet and improved reporting capabilities now ensure that TSA can continue to fulfill all of its ambitions.
Bennie de Looff has been with TSA Safety Services for 12 years. As Business Controller, he is responsible for finance, IT and application links. He has now been working with RentMagic for three years.
He explains how the cooperation with RentMagic came about: “Three years ago we were still working with ERP package Afas Profit, but they did not have rental software. And it did not meet our needs in terms of interim invoicing, being able to track inventory and vacancy checks of rental equipment. How often were items rented out, what was the maximum rental capacity?”
Limited capabilities Excel during growth phase
Bennie continues: “In the beginning I kept a lot of records myself in Excel and that went fine because we started quite small and we were mainly internally focused. But later the rental branch grew, more and more was added, and we anticipated that this way of working could eventually become problematic.
Because if you want to grow and you have the ambition, you have to have your rental records in order. The last thing you want is to be surprised. So before things got really urgent, we started looking for a good alternative in the form of rental software.”
Best ratio in price to functionality
TSA Safety Services started their research on rental software through Google, read reviews and experiences of others. What was important to them was that they were not a number, they were looking for a party that suited their SME business.
Bennie de Looff continues: “We invited a total of five parties and RentMagic came out as the one with the best value for money for what we needed. While other parties could offer more functionality, the price was also much higher. You may have more functionality but you don't need all of that while paying for it. As a relatively small rental company with rentals as a byproduct, RentMagic was the best fit for us. It also helped that it is a warm group of people, there are short lines of communication.”
"If you want to grow and you have the ambition, you have to have your rental records in order. The last thing you want is to be surprised."
Standard application with partial customization makes it appropriate
According to TSA Safety Services, RentMagic's platform is straightforward and requires little operational knowledge to work with. At the start of the partnership, TSA specified its requirements. They have the standard application in use, partially supplemented by customization.
Bennie de Looff goes on to talk about daily practice: “If our wishes change, we always come out of it, especially in terms of nice-to-haves. The big advantage of working with RentMagic is that I have insight into our rental fleet and the application does the simple clocking-in work. This allows me to focus more on the business, the internal organization and the data.”
The 3 benefits of RentMagic according to TSA Safety Services
1. Ease of use for business controller
Most important is the ease of use of the application. All the menus you see reflect what is underneath. It is easy to scroll through and navigate.
2. Extensive reporting capabilities
A second key benefit involves reporting capabilities. TSA Safety Services has a rental fleet with serial numbers. This plurality of equipment creates a complexity that RentMagic's application handles well. Other rental companies do not have this in this price range and with this basic functionality.
3. Ease of use for end customers
A third benefit is ease of use for end users. TSA Safety Services works with a customer portal and they also hear from customers that it is easy to use. Of course, you have to make it your own, but it doesn't require extensive training.
