			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Many Rental and Hire companies offer more than just one product or service.</strong></span></p>
<p>In many cases they can offer a range of services each of which may be seperately marketed.</p>
<p>A company may in addition to its basic equipment rental or hire offer services such as planning, consultancy, event staff etc.  Some even go further and provide complete solutions, a mix of products and services.</p>
<p>Often these can be traded and marketed under one brand, but this is not always the case.  For various market reasons companies may elect to trade these services under different brands.  For example:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Product Rental or Hire &#8211; traded as MLE Equipment Rental or Hire;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Services &#8211; eg event planning services traded as Ronji Event Services; or</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Solutions &#8211; major event management solutions &#8211; traded as MEMS</p>
<h3>Managing Separate Business Units</h3>
<p>Each business unit if marketed separately will need:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">•    Trading names;<br />
•    Logo’s;<br />
•    Web addresses;<br />
•    Booking Management;<br />
•    Products or Services offer; and<br />
•    Bank Accounts.</p>
<h3>HireEzy &#8211; Allows Up to Five Business Units</h3>
<p>HireEzy enables you to manage up to five differently marketed services.  Each marketed business unit is able to send documentation etc out under its own <strong>distinctive brand</strong>, with the name, logo etc all included.</p>
<p><strong>Bookings</strong> can be made and managed for each marketed business unit.</p>
<p><strong>Inventory</strong> whether a product or service can be restricted to one business unit or shared centrally some or all business units.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Hire and Rental companies are increasingly finding that the web is a primary source of new sales inquiries.</strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p>In fact over 55% of new hire and rental leads now come from the web</p></blockquote>
<h3>Major Business Issue</h3>
<p>The business issue though is ensuring that the virtual (web presence) and the physical (actual shop or store) are aligned! Such that whether a customer &#8220;walks in&#8221; or &#8220;clicks in&#8221; that get the same up to date accurate information.</p>
<p>This may sound simple but as most rental and hire companies know it is not!</p>
<h3>Why!</h3>
<p>Because the data for each item (description, category, images etc) is maintained both in the rental or hire business management system and separately in the web database.</p>
<h3>Cost</h3>
<p>This imposes a real cost on Rental and Hire companies.</p>
<p>As each time they update their inventory, either adding a new item, or new images, or even new descriptions &#8211; they have to pay a web developer to make the changes.</p>
<blockquote><p>One client stated that this cost was running in to thousands of dollars per annum</p></blockquote>
<p>A cost imposition just to simply update basic information!</p>
<h3>Eliminate the Cost and Take Control</h3>
<p>Eliminate this cost, make the change once and have it update the web automatically with one click!</p>
<p>You can with HireEzy 2.1!</p>
<h3>Go Beyond!</h3>
<p>Why not also update your specials, your promotions etc &#8211; in fact why not take control of your web content yourself.</p>
<p>Hire and Rental companies can now manage their web <a title="Web content" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_content">content</a>, including hire items, images, <a title="Pricing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pricing">pricing</a> and promotions through the one single <a title="Application software" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_software">application</a>. Even update your own terms and conditions with one click.</p>
<p><strong>On-line Requests</strong> Let customers browse, select and place an order request on line &#8211; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year!!!!!</p>
<p><strong>You can with HireEzy 2.1 and our web option.</strong></p>
<p>We make the web an integral part of your business as it should be in this day and age.</p>
<p><strong>Read more</strong> about the benefits of the integrated SMS and how it can reduce booking cancellations or no shows by 25%.  <a href="http://blog.makinglifeezy.com.au/index.php/23/sms-can-reduce-booking-no-shows/" target="_self">Link to article</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Rental and hire companies often have multiple stock items.</strong></span></p>
<p>  However knowing whether you have enough items in stock to satisfy a customer order can often be an issue.</p>
<p>This issue is compounded by the need to ensure that the stock is available for whole period of the order.</p>
<p>And if not, which other customer orders will be effected?</p>
<p>Furthermore with its inbuilt over booking facility directly linked to [intlink id="1497" type="post"]cross hire management[/intlink], any short falls in stock can be efficiently and effectively managed!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The next generation of natural business flow software for Temporary Fencing and Construction Rental and Hire businesses has been released. It now also enables you to control your own website content and catalogue.</p>
<p>Construction hire and rental companies, particularly temporary fencing have some unique hire and rental requirements specific to their business sector. Previously many such companies have had to rely on multiple systems to manage their businesses.<br />
<strong>Not so any more!</strong></p>
<p>HireEzy v2.1 has been released with all the specific needs of Construction hire and Rental companies, particularly temporary fencing. Such companies need specific functional in addition to normal hire and rental functional requirements.</p>
<p>HireEzy 2.1 includes all standard hire and rental functionality PLUS<br />
1. Estimation tools to support quotes<br />
2. Management of services to support rental or hire solutions<br />
3. The need for staff and contractor management<br />
4. Issuing and tracking of safety data to meet safety requirements<br />
5. Flexible payments and recurrent billing options.</p>
<p>HireEzy is a complete business solution for temporary roofing, scaffolding and fencing hire/ rental companies.</p>
<p><strong>Natural Business Flow</strong></p>
<p>HireEzy is a natural business flow software, part of the next generation of software solutions that are easy to use but also fully integrate with the internet. Natural business flow software follows the natural way businesses operate.</p>
<p>The natural flow in general terms construction rental and hire companies, specifically scaffolding, fencing and roofing rental and hire follows these broad business processes.</p>
<p>1. Market to create leads<br />
2. Quotes supported by simple estimation tools and booking availability.<br />
3. Convert quotes to invoices and confirmed bookings.<br />
4. Manage and allocate materials and labor resources – (either internal or contractor).<br />
5. Delivery, Assemble, Inspect, Dis-Assemble and Collect.<br />
6. Account for the money.<br />
7. Manage existing clients to generate new business.</p>
<p>HireEzy assists you to manage each of these processes with not only the tools you need, but some you may not even have thought of. Each of the processes will now be briefly discussed.</p>
<p><strong>Marketing</strong></p>
<p>The primary purpose of marketing is to create sales leads. HireEzy provides a full range of in-built marketing tools to enable you to produce your own high quality brochures, catalogue, e-mailers and newsletters. Most importantly it enables you to control your own marketing from one location.</p>
<h3><strong>Marketing &#8211; Integrated Web Option</strong></h3>
<p>The internet is now increasing the primary source of lead generation for most businesses. However for it to work for you it must have a high search engine ranking. That is if “scaffolding hire Melbourne” is typed by a prospect, your company web site must appear at a minimum on the first page of listings. It is worth noting, research has shown that prospects will click on a search result (organic result) over a paid ad appearing on the same page.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.hireezy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/applemac-insert11.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1154" title="applemac insert" src="http://blog.hireezy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/applemac-insert11.png" alt="applemac insert" width="463" height="144" /></a></p>
<p>HireEzy’s web integration option can significantly help here. By integrating your hire or rental catalogue to the web site, any changes you make in the catalogue are published to the web site. Such changes ensure more frequent web site changes. This in turn means a higher search engine ranking, increasing the chances you will appear on the first page.</p>
<p>HireEzy is the only known system in the world to offer this fully integrated functionality – a critical business tool.</p>
<h3><strong>Quoting</strong></h3>
<p>HireEzy has some simple inbuilt tools to support your quotation process, such as:<br />
1. An inbuilt length estimator,<br />
2. Contractor resource availability,<br />
3. Inventory availability for a given date range, and<br />
4. Discount rate for approved clients</p>
<p>Such tools simplify the quotation process, meaning all information is at your finger tips. Once a quote has been produced, a simple high quality quotation with graphic images can be produced, and emailed to the client or printed and handed to them.</p>
<h3><strong>Invoicing</strong></h3>
<p>Quotes are turned to invoices with one click. Or allow quotes to be adjusted to reflect any changes in the original quote. Industry payment terms and conditions are included, such as recurring billing for long term rental or hire, part de-hiring of long term rental or hire items, even allows for adjustment of payments for stand down days.</p>
<h3><strong>Manage and Allocate Resources</strong></h3>
<p>There are primarily two resources you need to manage, your inventory and your staff/ contractors. With HireEzy you can effectively manage both of these key assets.</p>
<p>The inbuilt inventory management tools enable you to manage your inventory purchasing, receipt, maintenance and dispatch to a job. Accurately providing you with real time information on your stock on hand. If you have depots, no problems, HireEzy can manage your inventory at each site.</p>
<p>Your staff and contractors are essential to your service delivery. HireEzy provides the tools to improve your management of your most valuable asset – people.</p>
<p>Like an item, the availability of staff and contractors is managed in HireEzy. Both can advise of leave periods, other jobs etc and these can be added to the system to provide accurate forecasts of availability. Got a new job and want to confirm a contractor availability then just click SMS, and an SMS is sent straight to the contractor with the job details and dates.</p>
<h3><strong>Delivery, Assemble, Inspect, Dis-Assemble and Collect</strong></h3>
<p>HireEzy comes with the inbuilt transport planning tools to enable you to schedule deliveries and collections, including assigning tasks to drivers and co-drivers such as:</p>
<p>• Assembly/ disassembly tasks,<br />
• Payment collection,<br />
• On-site period inspections, and<br />
• Collections.</p>
<p>It even includes full integration with Google Street maps to provide directions. On site conditions, limitations including access times etc are also included.</p>
<h3><strong>Accounting</strong></h3>
<p>Most accounting packages rely on data being transferred from business operations. HireEzy accounting package is driven by your hire transactions, saving enormously on double handling of data and the associated risk of errors. For example, creating an invoice in HireEzy immediately creates an Account Receivable record. If you still have other accounting packages then we could provide data export to those systems. HireEzy accounting module has a full range of financial reports needed to run your business. HireEzy accounting module is included with your purchase.</p>
<h3><strong>Manage Your Clients</strong></h3>
<p>The old adage is that it is 15 times harder to win a new client than to retain an existing client. HireEzy’s inbuilt management tools, such as contact management, newsletter productions and customer discounts etc, ensure that you have the tools at hand to support your on-going client retention.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #ff6600;">It is often argued that the most effective asset any business has - is its people.</span></h3>
<p>This is particularly the case for hire and rental companies.</p>
<h3>Staff Deliver your Brand Promise</h3>
<p>The biggest differentiators in the hire and rental industry is often service.</p>
<p>Staff play a critical role in this service delivery. If you have a brand promise of for example “ going the extra mile”, it is staff (or even contractors) who actually deliver this promise through their actions and attitudes.</p>
<p>Yes policies, procedures, processes and systems all help deliver a brand promise, but ultimately it gets down to people to people interaction. That is the interaction between your staff and your clients.</p>
<h3>Effective Staff Performance Management</h3>
<p>Effective management in a small to medium enterprise though is often more difficult than in a large corporation.</p>
<p>The reason is that managers and/ or owners of the business just <strong>don’t have the time</strong> to be able to undertake detailed human resource management.  Everyone managers and staff included are fully engaged in the days operational activities.</p>
<p>Despite not having the time and resources, small to medium business managers still need to ensure that they effectively manage staff.</p>
<p>However most HR systems to support this though are complex and require significant investment of time to use.</p>
<p>Time that is not available to small to medium business owners.</p>
<h3>The Nature of Small to Medium Business Staff Management</h3>
<p>Understanding the real nature of small to medium business daily HR management is the key.</p>
<p>Small business staff management is pre-dominantly task driven.  Things need to be done and trusted that they get done.</p>
<ul>
<li>Staff tend to know what <strong>routine tasks</strong> need to be done, they just need to know the where, when and what.</li>
<li>Adhoc tasks though need to be identified and allocated to staff, once allocated all the manager needs to know is that they are done or what stage they are up too.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Using Task Management</h3>
<p>The benefits of using task management to compliment Staff Performance management can be divided in three areas:</p>
<h4 style="padding-left: 30px;">Risk Management</h4>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In the unfortunate event that a staff member does not work out for a business, industrial relations laws in many countries require that you as the owner can prove it.  The best measure of proof is to be able to demonstrate a failure or inadequacy to perform tasks.  To do the allocated tasks to the person and their completion or performance need to be captured.   The problem is most small businesses simply haven&#8217;t got the time to record and document such tasks.  Hence if forced to go to court the small business owner can spend extra-ordinary amounts of time gathering the information.</p>
<h4 style="padding-left: 30px;">Self Performance</h4>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">On the upside many small business staff are incredibly committed, reliable and trustworthy.  They don&#8217;t need to have intense supervision they know what tasks need to be done, they just need the information. For example if they are sales staff they know the sales process, they simply need to know what leads have come in, what stage a sale is up too and when it needs to be followed up.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Good staff management practise though would be to give them access to self monitoring their performance against sales targets.  This approach of trust and providing the information and self performance monitoring both improves staff performance whilst reducing demands on management time.</p>
<h4 style="padding-left: 30px;">Management Focus</h4>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">If the first two aspects are provided, then a manager can gain time.  Some of this time can then be focused on managing the business &#8211; even having time to spend on the business.</p>
<h2>Our Solution</h2>
<p>HireEzy our hire software and rental software integrates task management with the HR system.  This enables:</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 30px;">Routine Tasks</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Routine tasks are those tasks staff perform regularly. Ideally you want staff just to do these tasks when they are required. To do this staff need to know when they need to be done. For example warehouse staff need to know when items are expected to be collected or returned. If they know this they can plan accordingly. As a manager or owner all you want to know is that staff know about the routine task and have got it in hand. HireEzy provides this information to all staff from the ability to allocate sales leads to sales staff to enabling the logistics staff to know what deliveries/ installations/ dis-assemblies and collections are due on a given day and all requirements for each of them.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 30px;">Adhoc Tasks</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Secondly you want to be able to allocate adhoc tasks to staff and then monitor the progression of that task.   In fact in some cases in small business daily demands may lead many managers forgeting that they allocated a task or staff may forget that they were given one.  HireEzy enables adhoc tasks to be recorded, allocated and monitored  &#8211; in fact it does this very well.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 30px;">Focus On Performance Management</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Enabling tasks both routine and adhoc to be more easily managed and monitored means that as a manager you can spend more time on monitoring performance. Having a simple overview of all tasks means that you can quickly identify tasks that are not being completed and take corrective action.  record of issues</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 30px;">Self Performance Management</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">This applies particularly to sales staff. Sales staff in many companies have a sales quota to meet. They want to know as much as you do if they are meeting those quota targets. HireEzy also enables this, providing both sales staff and managers with a all their booking quotes and actual sales. This data is automatically captured from each quote raise or booking made eliminating double entry whilst providing greater visibility of performance.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 30px;">Personnel Records</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The most common administrative problem facing small to medium businesses is the management of personnel records. HireEzy enables all personnel records to be recorded and stored against each staff member file. This means that documents from letters of engagement, contracts, recognitions and records of performance counseling are stored in one place. Even payments to and payments from a staff member are recorded in many cases automatically, hence eliminating duplicate data entry.</p>
