parts and service support system
NORWALK, CT & FORT LAUDERDALE, FL
- November 25, 2003—NationsRent Companies, Inc. announced
today that it has begun the rollout of e-FleetPro™, SmartEquip’s
integrated electronic parts ordering and product support system
to certain of its larger stores.
Commenting on the launch, Jeff Putman, Chief Executive Officer
of NationsRent, stated, “We are excited to begin deploying
e-FleetPro in the parts and service areas of our business,
where up-to-date manufacturer product support information
is critical to maximize fleet uptime. With the growing list
of manufacturers participating in the SmartEquip network,
we expect that the great majority of the first cost of our
fleet will be covered in the next 12 months.”
Alex Schuessler, SmartEquip’s President and Chief Executive
Officer, stated, "SmartEquip is pleased to deploy e-FleetPro
with an industry leader like NationsRent. We are focused on
this industry because of the opportunities for dramatic operational
and transactional efficiency improvements surrounding the
support of large equipment fleets. Bringing rental companies
together with the manufacturers who supply them serves both
parties with improved process efficiencies and reduced costs.
e-FleetPro serves as an electronic conduit that drives the
connection between them .”
