Industry case studies - Hire software, Rental Software

Event Furniture Hire

Background

Event Hire was established in May 2005, operating from an 8,000 sq ft                                      Hire software for Event Hire
warehouse in Walsall, West Midlands. With a comparatively small stockholding and a turnover of £250k in the first year of trading, the operation and financial records were done manually.

The Issue

With the dramatic growth of the business during   the second year, it was obHire software for Event Hirevious that we needed to establish systems to control our hire stock, forward bookings, delivery and collections, invoicing, financial and customer records. We had managed an event hire division for a large international company prior to setting  up Event Hire, where we had used a bespoke inhouse software system to run all aspects of the business, so we knew the key points we were looking for when   we were researching potential software systems for Event Hire.
