inspHire and Sage Partnership
A leading supplier of software solutions to the rental and asset management industries Since its establishment in 1997, inspHire has become the leading supplier of Windows software solutions to the rental and asset management industries.
Our specifically-designed systems have been created to take everyday requirements into account and our ‘customer first approach’ has ensured that inspHire’s products have a worldwide presence.
In fact, inspHire’s systems are used by over 450 companies in over 9 countries including the UK, Holland and Australia, and in markets ranging from tool and plant hire to access equipment and event hire.
Sage has played an integral part in this success and will continue to be part of inspHire’s development strategy.
inspHire’s software is aimed at hire companies of all sizes and is designed to be scaleable so that as a business grows, the programs can expand with it. The range includes Express and Office editions for start-up and medium-sized companies, and progresses onto Business and Corporate editions for larger and multi-national corporations.
inspHire have been a Sage Developer for seven years and have worked with many Sage Partners to complete some extremely successful implementations.
The products
inspHire Express is a relatively new product designed specifically for the single user rental market, created as a result of extensive research within the rental industry. It is a comprehensive rental system that offers a high standard of software at a low cost of investment, creating a more efficient way to run a small business. It is simple to install, easy to use and integrates seamlessly with Sage Line 50.
Office edition for small to medium-sized companies also integrates seamlessly into Sage Line 50 and other Sage applications. It is comprehensive and sophisticated yet simple and easy to use, bringing the benefits of multiple on and off hire capability, integrated stock and purchase order processing, plus stock and availability quick view that immediately shows the whole picture.
How the integration works
inspHire reads real time information from Sage software, eliminating the need for duplication of data. This enables the user to see both customer and supplier information, such as current balance, "on stop" customers, and customers who are over their credit limit.
inspHire generates sales invoices and posts them directly to the sales ledger. Supplier invoices are entered using the integrated inspHire POP module and posted to the purchase ledger and in both cases, the nominal ledger is updated automatically.
Sage Partner discounts
inspHire is offering up to 25% commission on software sales of their rental package to Sage Partners. Backed up by dynamic management, development and support teams, inspHire can take you and your client through the demonstration and sales process, working either at the client’s site or at inspHire’s own presentation and training suite (where we have the facilities to set up seminars should you have more than one interested client).

inspHire launch major new technology drive on theft in the hire industry
It is estimated that last year in the UK alone more than £1.2Million worth of equipment was stolen each week. Add to this fact that less than 10% of missing equipment is ever recovered and you can begin to understand the extent of the problem facing the hire industry.
As a pioneering and market leading provider of asset management software to the European Rental market, inspHire have partnered with the leading rental asset tracking company GloMoCo (Global Monitoring Company) to implement the latest GPS and GSM tracking technology into our well established software solutions.
inspHire recognises the importance of risk management, theft prevention and equipment recovery in the rental industry and have essentially created an all-inclusive and centrally managed hire station.
This exclusive system incorporates features such as real-time equipment location monitoring, tamper alerts, Geo-fence security and remote immobilisation. Furthermore, our system provides valuable diagnostic information such as engine run hours, utilisation analysis and service reports.
Experts such as insurance companies and TER (The National Plant and Equipment Register) strongly advise that simply relying on the police to recover assets is not sufficient, and that equipment owners need to take steps to ensure that as a hire company theft is addressed and prevented.
Manufacturers such as JCB and Kubota are now also taking the initiative and responsibility by incorporating tracking devices into their machines at the production stage as standard fixtures. This clearly highlights the necessity to fully explore and utilise this technology.
We have already received a positive response from the rental market and are confident that our development of this product will prove a success in assisting the combat against equipment crime.
Our new partnership with Glomoco will be officially launched at our ‘Plant Equipment Protection Seminar’ to be held at the JCB world headquarters on Tuesday 24th May. The seminar will unite professionals from authorities including TER, Glomoco, leading manufacturers and insurance agencies along with hire companies to discuss this serious issue and provide an insight into the security measures and technology that is now available.

inspHire Express Launch
inspHire has just launched inspHire Express, a new product for single users in the rental and asset management markets.
The product, officially launched at the 2005 Hire Show is a result of extensive research within the rental industry. inspHire identified significant demand for a product designed specifically for the single user market. As a result inspHire Express has been added to the company's well established windows-based software range.
Dedicated to meeting the needs of a single user site, inspHire Express is a comprehensive rental system that is simple to install, easy to use and plugs into existing Microsoft and Sage systems.
To make life even easier an interactive training video is included to guide the user through an effortless transformation from paper-based systems to a computerised one.
The single site user can now benefit from Microsoft technology at a fraction of the cost. For growing businesses, inspHire has formulated an upgrade path to their market-leading Office Edition, Business Editon and Corporate Edition packages.
inspHire Express received a first-class response and numerous orders at the 205 Hire Show and is expected to continue with its success throughout 2005. As part of inspHire’s commitment to successful business solutions, the rental industry will see several new products introduced later this year.
