Many equipment rental companies spend far too much time determining pricing, then creating, entering, double-checking, and managing agreements and invoices. Sound familiar? The equipment rentals industry is uniquely complex, especially when it comes to managing these aspects of cash flow.
To add to the problem, most financial solutions are only designed to handle the needs of retail transactions, where inventory is sold a single time for a single cost. Historically, many equipment rental businesses have coped with this issue by relying heavily on manual processes for determining prices, creating agreements, and sending invoices.
There is good news! Technology is providing new levels of automation and revolutionizing the way rental businesses can operate. Is your business ready to upgrade to effective processes that will enable new growth? Western Computer is now offering DynaRent for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, a full-blown rental management solution with the capability to transform your business for the better.

Western Computer and DynaRent can help your rental company solve these common challenges:
1. Manual invoicing frustrations
For equipment rental companies relying on manual invoice creation, employees frequently dedicate countless hours to creating and managing invoices. Due to the variables employees must track for each customer and rental, this is often time-consuming, error-prone, and frustrating. That’s why Western Computer offers rental management solutions such as DynaRent and a wealth of experience helping customers automate their periodic invoicing. We can help you set up recurring invoicing, so billing isn’t a nightmare for your employees. You can still fully control the variables, and set the invoice period for whatever you need – whether that’s days, weeks, or months. Using the right solutions and processes to automate periodic invoices will reduce errors, eliminate frustration, and keep your people happy.
2. Mistakes related to complex billing needs
Billing for equipment rentals is very complex. All the variables that need to be tracked, from the specifics of each rental agreement to the possibility of overtime charges, customer refunds for early returns, damage fee waivers, and meter charges, quickly add up to create a situation that’s very difficult for your employees to get right. Manually managing this process can lead to mistakes, unhappy customers and lost revenue.
Western Computer has experts who understand how to help you with this. A rental management solution such as DynaRent, combined with the appropriate training, can lead to integrated and automated billing processes with a vastly reduced rate of errors.
3. Invoicing backlogs and cash flow problems
Manually creating agreements and invoices is a slow process, and a backlog can easily occur which results in cash flow issues for your business. By appropriately automating and integrating your agreements and invoicing, you can speed up this process and get invoices sent out on time. Then, you’ll be able to easily manage customer payments and equipment status in real-time, allowing you to understand the big picture of your organization.
