Dynamics NAV (Navision) for Equipment Distributors that are not ready for the cloud
There is a lot of hype around the cloud these days. Many software providers are literally pushing their customers to use cloud technology.
But what about those customers that are not quite ready or confident to put all their information into the cloud? Really … don’t we hear about cracked databases and servers with thousands of credit card numbers being stolen every other week?
Equip-Soft has decided to hold off on the cloud strategy. We are working in conjunction with Microsoft’s Dynamics NAV roadmap which is releasing its full cloud strategy in 2013. We are recommending Equipment distributors wait a little longer before they make this transition. And frankly, we realize that some of you may not want to transition at all, and that’s ok too.
Whether you are already on a Dynamics NAV platform or looking to move onto it, Equip-Soft addresses a lot of the technology features needed for equipment rental companies. These include:
- Checking equipment availability status online in real time
- Short and long-term rental contract management
- Integration of fixed assets, service, parts, logistics, finance, equipment inventory and CRM
- Re-rents
- Sub-contracting
- Utilization and profitability reporting
- Equipment exchange
- Rental discounting by customer, customer groups, equipment, equipment category
- Rental pricing by customer, customer groups, equipment, equipment category.
- Default rental charges

- Rental asset utilization management (with discount control, i.e. high utilization = no discounts)
- Centralized or distributed rental management, multi-branch rental management
- Insurance certificate checking
