Rental software specialist Wynne Systems has launched its Q4 2024 update to its RentalMan Suite.

The company said the update delivers “powerful new tools and improvements to optimise rental business operations” and brings targeted enhancements across the suite.

Among the new features is RentalMan Core, an outbound API Platform that will provide a new way for RentalMan to send outbound API calls to other systems.

Another new addition is the RentalMan Logistics Solution, which now integrates last-known location data from Caterpillar’s VisionLink devices, allowing dispatchers to define a certain radius for equipment to move on a jobsite. If the jobsite pick-up or delivery is outside of the radius, they will be alerted upon dispatching.

At the same time, the company is also adding NFC (near-field communication) tag scanning for Android to its offering under RentalMan MobileLink.

The company said NFC scanning adds another “quick equipment finding capability” on top of the existing QR and barcode scanning capabilities already in MobileLink and help users to quickly and accurately identify equipment during check in and check out processes in the yard.

Meanwhile, its MobileLink feature now has a new cloud storage and automated filing feature for equipment images via Opentext that provides a more efficient means for storing images.

Through the update, images are automatically tagged and filed with equipment number, contract number, customer number, Cat/Class, action type, and image instructions to help users easily find photos in the future.

Finally, by the end of 2024 its RentalMan IntelliSource feature will expand into creating and editing reservations directly in the application rather than users needing to do this in RentalMan.

The company said the new function will provide rental coordinators with a “frictionless, one-stop shop to seamlessly create, edit, stage, and convert reservations to contracts all in one application, significantly speeding up these time-consuming processes.”
