Russian translation for inspHire Rental Management Solution
31st Mar 2010
The inspHire Rental Management Solution has recently been translated into Russian for Kazakhstan based company Denholm Zholdas.
Part of the Denholm Group of companies, Denholm Zholdas provides a range of services within the oilfields of Kazakhstan. Within its plant hire activities it provides compressor, lift and generator rental. Denholm Zholdas was looking for a modern rental management application that could manage its service and repairs as well as tracking its fleet and with user screens available in both English and Russian.
After comparing the merits of several rental and asset management software suppliers, they selected inspHire Office Edition.
“inspHire greatly improves our asset tracking, and helps reduce the misplacement of stock and equipment. Already with inspHire we are obtaining immediate benefits. The system enables us to better utilise and maintain our equipment, resulting in fewer failures, improved availability and ultimately in improved customer satisfaction. The tracking of the maintenance of safety critical equipment and components is also greatly improved.”
Gus Gill, Denholm Zholdas
Graham Dobbs, Managing Director of inspHire said “We are extremely pleased to be selected by Denholm Zholdas, a major player in Oilfield services and a well respected organisation. inspHire have a proven track record in delivering market leading solutions in asset management and rental solutions to blue chip organisations and working with a company of Denholm Zholdas standing reinforces our position in the market place.”

LiftRite Australia implement inspHire
15th Mar 2010
LiftRite Hires & Sales is a leading distributor of materials handling and industrial equipment in Western Australia. Operating since 1983 LiftRite has built an unrivalled reputation for quality sales, rental, service and parts; for new and used industrial equipment and machinery.
Today in 2010, with more than 1100 customers in their database, LiftRite’s Managing Director George Hogg understands the importance of good hire/rental software.
“Good software needs to allow you to quickly monitor the performance of your rental fleet and ROI of individual items; InspHire is fully windows based and has extensive reporting, not to mention the ability to assess corporate performance and detects trends.”
In October 2009 LiftRite implemented the inspHire rental management solution, through Elev8 Business Software Solutions, as their locally developed DOS system did not have a hire module.
“It is easy to control and easy to monitor the hire contracts along with the profitability of hire items. With no month end procedures and easy hire contract invoicing, InspHire has saved LiftRite ample time and money."

Elev8, a business solution specialist based in Perth, is the exclusive Australian distributors for inspHire Rental Management Solutions.
Work smarter not harder with inspHire rental management solutions
2nd Mar 2010
Selling on service is key when a market is already rate sensitive and most companies are renting out at similar rates. The key to success is to deliver a high level of service to the clients with minimal costs. One of the ways to do this is to work smarter not harder and this is where inspHire have focused time, resource and development. If a client needs a proof of delivery or has a query about a recent or ongoing rental they can self-serve by logging on to the inspHire WebPortal and getting the Proof of Delivery or copy invoice themselves allowing customers to download copy test certificates or instruction manuals at their convenience. inspHire CRM will ensure our customers can be in constant contact with both existing and prospective customers to ensure they are delivering the right service.
Transparency to the customer is what rental companies are being asked for by their customer base and this can be provided using modern day technology and with very little effort. For example, if it’s assumed that all rental companies are offering equipment at the same rate, the only defining factor can be service. The rental company that delivers and collects the correct equipment, on time and with less downtime due to well maintained equipment has a significant advantage over competitors and will play a part in influencing a customer choice of rental supplier.

inspHire demonstrates its hire management solutions at EHS
1st Mar 2010
At the Executive Hire Show inspHire will be demonstrating its complete hire management software solutions, renowned for managing all the day-to-day tasks associated with the running of a successful efficient hire business. Designed for hire companies of all sizes, from start ups to multi-depot organisations and with both end users and management team in mind you won’t find a more intuitively simple easy to use system anywhere on the market. inspHire has been designed to integrate with many of the core accounting systems available today meaning that hirers won’t have to change all of their current systems.
At the Executive Hire Show inspHire will be launching ‘Digital Pen Technology’. The concept relies on the much relied on pen and paper combination (albeit a very sophisticated one), and works by capturing information written by the digital pen and then transmitting the data via a blue-tooth enabled mobile phone to the inspHire rental management system. Within minutes a perfect image of the document with all the hand written additions is available to reprint at leisure. No more hard copy Proof of Delivery to file away!
“We are really excited about this Digital Pen Technology” says Graham Dobbs, Managing Director at inspHire. “Not only can our customers save time and money on both filing and retrieving signed documents they get a confirmation of delivery or collection in the system almost immediately knowing what time equipment was delivered or collected. The ability to hand write notes about damage or other specific information like collection instructions on a document and for the inspHire system to store this information automatically provides a genuine edge in todays market place helping reduce general overhead costs for running an efficient business”.
inspHire will also be demonstrating recent developments that help hire companies reduce their operating costs, and increase the level of service they can provide to their customers, these include inspHire Mobile Working, inspHire WebPortal and inspHire CRM.
Also new for this year – inspHire and erento partner on Stand C35. erento - Europe’s leading online rental marketplace making hire items available to everyone, from DIY enthusiasts to national construction companies, both locally and further afield. “Rental companies can promote their products and prospective customers can search for the best deal that suits them all in the one market place. For rental software providers it is essential they are part of this new offering; to be able to take enquiries online directly from the web and then process the enquiry through their system and allow rental companies to automatically upload products and product information to the erento website with the click of a button” said Clinton Patterson of erento. “We at inspHire see a great future for erento and very much want to be a part of it, choosing to be the first UK based rental software company to work with erento was an easy decision and not an opportunity to be missed” said Graham Dobbs of inspHire Ltd.
For the third year running inspHire will be hosting its Office Edition User Forum at the Executive Hire Show. “In joining forces with the Executive Hire Show our customers get the chance to combine attending the quarterly inspHire User Forum as well as visiting the Show for the Hire industry. We understand that time and resources are precious commodities in this climate and bringing the two together will hopefully go some way to ease those burdens” said Matt Cunningham, inspHire Operations Director.
In addition, inspHire customers visiting the show are invited to register for inspHire Masterclass Sessions which will be available over the two days of the Executive Hire Show. “We are inviting all our customers that are visiting the Executive Hire Show to come along to our Free Training Sessions. These sessions are for those inspHire customers that would like to further expand their knowledge of their inspHire hire management solution, and get the most out of it to help improve the way that they run their business. inspHire is an intuitive, feature rich system and we want to help our customers use inspHire to its full potential” said Matt Cunningham, inspHire Operations Director.
inspHire Digital Pen Technology
1st Mar 2010
inspHire digital pen technology offers signature and note capture direct into the inspHire software.
The pen itself has a small camera viewing the nib of the pen, recording the pen strokes and detecting exactly where it is on the page and which document it is writing on. The captured information is passed back to the server from the pen via a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone which then pushes the data into ‘the cloud’ and back to the company’s inspHire installation. Within minutes of the customer signing, an exact copy of the document is stored within inspHire ready for retrieval at any point. Even if the driver loses his copy there will always be the copy held in inspHire.
