RentalMan Core
Enhancement & Features
Released
Payment vendor additions
Sure, payment vendors might offer a similar service but there can be a lot of differences between them. Two new integration options are now available for your payments in RentalMan! Curbstone, Tempus, and NMA are all available to help you and your customers do business.
Released
Single customer master
P Cards are rising in popularity in the rental industry. As a result, we’re now supporting this and other types of payment options with the new single customer master setup. This new capability helps you simplify your invoicing process and enhances your customer relationships.
Released
Ancillary charges engine
Ancillary charges are an ideal way to cover expenses in your organization and even generate some revenue. Whether it’s environmental fees, damage waivers, transport charges, or anything else, RentalMan now has a new engine available to help you manage them. Want to brush up on this topic? Check out this e-book!
Released – building more!
REST micro-services
Nobody likes waiting for their systems to respond. You’re busy! You’ve got things to do! We’re speeding up the system by adding RPG REST micro-services throughout RentalMan’s background. These micro-services retrieve specific data that you request at different times rather than trying to move large files filled with data that’s not need for the task at hand.
Coming Q3- 2024
Home page manager
Depending on what your role is, you might want to see specific information when you first log in to RentalMan. Home page manager has been around since the RMUI launch but this new capability allows admins to set specific home pages for different users. For example, managers can have a home page that shows a Reporter dashboard while sales reps can have a home page showing Salesforce.
Available
Job site mapping
Through an integration with Logistics Solution, users will be able to see a map that plots out customer job sites and their associated details. This helps users visualize job sites rather than needing to check their addresses or lat/long details manually through Google Maps or something similar. It also helps prevent job site duplication in RentalMan.
Logistics Solution
Enhancement & Features
Coming Q4 – 2024
Auto routing
Efficient dispatching requires smart planning. To get the most out of your drivers’ time, there are a lot of variables to consider. Distance, equipment, trailers, trucks, job site locations, and more create a complex puzzle to solve. We’re helping dispatchers solve those situations faster with a new auto routing feature that suggest routes based on many of these factors. At the moment, auto-routing is available for recurring service tasks. We are working for wider task capabilities in the future.
Released
Service Solution integration
Field service is about to get easier with a new integration between Service Solution and Logistics Solution. New capabilities include calendar views of upcoming field service needs by hour, day, week, or month. Drag and drop functions help you easily allocate mechanics to work orders.
Released
Samsara integration
Samsara is a popular device provider for many transportation teams. We’re excited to announce this new integration. The integration will offer real-time driver location tracking directly within the Logistics Solution – TMS scheduler map overview. This feature enables you to streamline your logistics operations with unparalleled visibility and control.
Released
Driver app revamp
A new driver app is on the way! This revamped app boasts offline capabilities which will improve functionality in locations with little to no mobile or Wi-Fi connections. In addition, better photo saving, better order prioritization, and better views into task duration will be part of the app.
MobileLink
Enhancement & Features
Coming Q3 – 2024
Quick turn – condition reports
We’re speeding up the check out process for your yard teams by making condition reporting available beyond just when your team is putting equipment on contract. Your team can now add condition reports to equipment as it comes off rent or straight from the shop.
Service Solution
Enhancement & Features

RenterLink & Customer Portal
Enhancement & Features
Coming Q3- 2024
Customer Portal modules
Many rental organizations are looking into customer portals to help manage relationships with their customers. While we offer a full solution that caters to this topic, we recognize that not every company wants or needs the entire solution. That’s why we’re “modularizing” the solution. When released, you will be able to integrate different parts of our solution into your business.
Q2 – Released
Conflict identification
There’s a variety of reasons that equipment might not be ready for rent. When equipment options are presented, users can now see if there is a potential conflict via a small warning icon. This icon can be clicked on to view associated details like work orders or if the equipment is just coming off rent from another jobsite. Integrations to other RentalMan solutions like Service Solution brings real-time visibility statuses or conflicts to users.
Q2 – Released
Nearest unit search logic
The distance between job site locations and branches can add a variety of costs to a rental transaction. That’s why we’re going to be adding a new search logic to IntelliSource. The new logic will show users the distance between the job site and the rental branch, helping them take transportation costs into consideration when matching equipment to reservations.
Q2 – Released
Alternative equipment options
When looking for equipment, users will now be able to see other potential equipment options if one is not readily available at the branch. For example, if a rental customer needs a 25ft. scissor lift, a 32 ft. option can be shown as an alternative option if a 25ft. lift isn’t currently available. This provides yet another way for users to quickly find a solution to upcoming order needs.
