 Complete. Powerful. Easy.
Windward's Equipment Rental Software includes Point of Sale (POS), Reservations, Inventory Control, and Accounting Software designed to help RUN your Equipment Rental Business instead of just reporting on it!
When it comes to business process demands, rental companies have some very unique requirements. Equipment Rental shops usually have the burden of not only the invoicing of rentals but also selling equipment, consumables and services. Windward Software understands these unique requirements. Windward's Equipment Rental Software has been specifically designed to meet these unique challenges. Equipment Rental Point of Sale addresses such demands as tracking of rental inventory, processing of rental orders, issues and returns, servicing of rental equipment, and rental billing all while providing a complete Business Management Solution.
 The tracking of equipment rental inventory can also become a real challenge. There is the need to know where every piece of equipment is by serial number or customer record at all times. A streamlined business needs to know when that piece of equipment is due back and when it is scheduled for its next rental. RentalPOS allows you to monitor efficiency (rented hours vs. available hours, etc.) and profits by tracking every transaction in detail. This applies to both long term rentals, e.g. monthly, or short term rentals for equipment with daily or weekly rates.
Equipment Rental inventory can be moved from rental to retail and back effortlessly, pricing markdowns accounted for and reporting that keeps you in total control. Your customers will enjoy fast and efficient checkouts of on-hand rental inventory and reserved inventory and services. Proper payment methods by time period, late fees and reservation updates are automatic.
With Equipment Rental Software, financial reporting will become easier and more manageable. Besides creating sales analysis reports that show performance of all of your retail, rental and services inventory, you will also be able to gather statistics for comparatives by periods, customers, vendors and employees. The integration of the rental and reservation components within RentalPOS ensures that all transactions are applied automatically and correctly.
 Featured Client Case Study
Client: Altra Rental & Supply
Altra Rental & Supply Inc. was founded in 1998 to serve contractors, homeowners & business. As the company motto states, "We SELL anything we rent and RENT anything we sell!"
The company started with a modest inventory and used the Peachtree product as its business management software tool to start. This worked well until the number of inventory items began to expand rapidly. As Altra Rental & Supply grew, it became apparent that a more robust and sophisticated software solution was required to manage the growing number of SKUs.

Rental History
Rental history can be quickly displayed on screen or printed, showing the past history of a piece of equipment for any date range selected, e.g. last 3 months, last 6 months, etc.
Windward's serial number control is superior to others because it's based on the real world. When you receive a truckload of appliances, the first unit off the back of the truck normally goes to the back of the warehouse. If the salesperson selected the serial number at point of sale, they could be generating a lot of work in the warehouse.
Easy Access to Rental Equipment
Rental equipment is easily set up in a manner that makes future inquiries extremely fast. Based on individual items or groups of similar items, rental inquiries are quickly performed allowing you to answer most inquiries over the phone.
Up-Selling Made Easy
Additional supplies can be automatically suggested or added to invoices. For example, renting a photocopier may also prompt the sales person to ask if the customer would like extra toner, or paper, etc. Renting a forklift may prompt the sales person to ask if the customer would like an additional tank of propane, or the new extended forks, etc. This will allow you to effortlessly increase your sales of "add-ons" thus generating extra revenue.
Integrated touch-screen technology reduces transaction times and line-ups almost to zero!

Full Costing allows you to track the costs associated with a piece of equipment, allocate that cost to a G/L account, and run reports to compare the revenue generated. Profitability can then be monitored.
