Managing a Dynamic Rental Operation Across Multiple Remote Locations

As Truan Equipment’s Operations Coordinator Kendall Casebier will tell you, managing a rental fleet across 22 remote locations presents its share of unique operational challenges. His team can’t always get eyes on machines when issues arise, and having equipment stationed at partner locations means security is always a concern. 

“When running a rental company, you’re always going to need new equipment over time” Kendall said. “Having Machine IQ integrated in new units has been a real game changer, especially for equipment we don’t have immediate access to - like machines at our satellite locations that are on longer-term rental agreements.” 

Using Machine IQ, Kendall can keep a pulse on the 100+ Bobcat rental units in the field. Near real-time fault code notifications delivered directly to his inbox provides a much clearer assessment of the issue, eliminating the uncertainty of a customer’s interpretation.
