“I took over for the person who used to manage the rental fleet. It was just one of his many responsibilities, but it easily took up half to three-quarters of his time. We signed up with YARDZ, and I began using the platform almost immediately. I would wager that there is anywhere from a 25% – 50% time savings between using YARDZ and the way the previous manager handled it. You can’t put a price on that.”

“Right after the implementation, we conducted an analysis on one of our regular vendors.  Based on some discrepancies in the equipment rates, we received a $20,000 credit. We were off to a great start.”

Their cost to sales decreased by 24.4% on average since the YARDZ implementation. Translating this to real dollars, the company is saving roughly $250,000 per year through better management of their rental equipment.
