Rental POS by Windward Software

See What a Real Customer Thinks?

Altra Rental & Supply Inc. was founded in 1998 to serve contractors, homeowners & business. As the company motto states, “We SELL anything we rent and RENT anything we sell!”

The company started with a modest inventory and used the Peachtree product as its business management software tool to start. This worked well until the number of inventory items began to expand rapidly. As Altra Rental & Supply grew, it became apparent that a more robust and sophisticated software solution was required to manage the growing number of SKUs.

In December 2003, Altra Rental & Supply selected Windward's RentalPOS to manage a burgeoning 14,000 SKUs. The company went live with the software in the first quarter and all nine staff members utilize the software to manage the entire business end-to-end.

According to store owner, Jim Pedulla, “Windward Software’s RentalPOS Edition has revolutionized the way we do business.”

Revolutionizing Business with Windward Software’s Barcoding Option

“A key consideration for us was barcoding” says store owner Jim Pedulla. “We needed to track the entire history of every single item in our inventory from order to receipt, to rental, to sale, right through to repairs and warranty work. The product we were using at the time did not offer this option.”

“The benefit of barcoding,” continues Pedulla, “is that it allows us to track the full history of every single item: rentals, repairs, warranty, sale date, owner, etc. If a barcode does not come with the item from the manufacturer, it is easy to generate one using the Windward solution.”

Price

Pedulla states, “This is the most customizable product in its price range! The competition products we reviewed started around $30,000US but Windward Software offers a robust product with totally integrated functionality with a true Windows 32-bit interface for a competitive price.”

ROI

Customer time at counter reduced from 22 minutes to 5 minutes
Massive theft reduction due to item level tracking
Huge reduction in training costs
"Windward's solution is the most customizable in its price range. Settings can be easily adapted to fit the business practice rather than the other way around. Best price-to-value ratio in the market," states Pedulla.
