Customer equipment selection

Answer customers’ product questions through the rental storefront, using the same enterprise deployment that supports technicians, branches and sales.

Equipment rental

Where the work begins

A major equipment-rental company runs one deployment across several thousand internal and customer-facing users. It answers branch policy questions, technician part questions, outside-sales planning questions and customer product questions on production systems.

The problem

Customers on the storefront need help working out which machine they require. The rental company already holds knowledge about its equipment in established fleet systems and service material; that knowledge also supports staff working in the yard and branch.

Industry outcome

Across the wider rental deployment, technician service-manual lookup fell from one to two hours to seconds, covering roughly 80% of fleet value.

Production, early to mid 2026; these figures concern technician lookup across the wider deployment.
