Using Yard Maintenance to Set Up Remote Locations in Your Rental Software

Arielle Cox

In an ideal world, all your equipment would either be in your yard or at a customer’s jobsite – but as we all know, that’s rarely the reality.

Sometimes, your main yard is at max capacity and you need to store recently returned equipment in an overflow space. Other times, you’re renting dozens of machines to a major customer and it becomes faster to set up a staging yard near their jobsite than run back and forth for constant deliveries and pickups. These are just two potential scenarios where you need to maintain visibility into your equipment when it’s not in the traditionally expected location.

In these scenarios, InTempo’s Yard Maintenance feature can help you set up remote locations to better track your fleet. You can create satellite locations in a few clicks, then assign various pieces of equipment to these locations. From there, you can enter that satellite location as a pickup or return location – the same exact way you would indicate a pickup or return to your primary rental branch – or view all the equipment you currently have at that specific site.

This lets you quickly differentiate each of your non-primary locations and keep all of your teams on the same page. Sales reps can tell customers to retrieve equipment directly from a staging site instead of waiting to schedule a delivery days down the road; maintenance teams can bring hard-down equipment from your overflow lot to the shop without wasting time looking for it in the main yard. Once a temporary location is no longer needed, you can decommission it with a few clicks.
