Baseplan Software's new Planning Calendar software takes the hard work out of planning rental operations.

While many businesses have struggled in the recent economic climate, Australian business management software innovators Baseplan Software have continued to go from strength to strength and recently released their Planning Calendar software to help companies in the hire and rental field do the same.

Offering scalable, tightly integrated, module-based business management systems along with exceptional planning, development and support services, Baseplan is recognised as Australia's market leader in the provision of fully integrated Enterprise Resource Planning business management solutions for the hire, rental, fleet and dealer management industries.

Yet another outstanding example of Baseplan's ability to provide successful solutions which deliver strong and cohesive supply chain management tailored to meet specific customer needs, Planning Calendar builds efficiently on Baseplan's current offerings, as Nigel Hammond, Baseplan's Business Development Manager, explained.

"Baseplan's existing products offered a very efficient way to view equipment availability based on specific days," Nigel explained. "Planning Calendar meets the need to visually graph the availability of equipment and, for those that operate in a "wet hire" environment, quickly and easily match it to other resources such as labour.

"This need was recognised after Baseplan liaised with companies that had specific equipment items and needed to efficiently view the availability of their equipment to optimise the use of their equipment within specific periods of time."

A quick review shows Baseplan's Planning Calendar software offers many valuable benefits to hire and rental companies. These benefits include:
  • Easy management of current and future bookings for specific equipment based on location, makes, types and/or models.
  • Additional resources can be viewed, with operators allocated to equipment based on license validity and site inductions obtained.
  • Views can be amended on an hourly or daily basis.
  • Equipment and resources can be transferred between rental agreements, and/or added to new and existing rental agreements.
  • Rental periods for equipment can be easily extended or reduced.
  • Companies can quickly ascertain the location of equipment and efficiently match equipment with resources.
  • Equipment availability can be quickly viewed, with unavailability due to servicing or other factors being readily available.

"Baseplan Software offers tightly integrated business solutions such as Planning Calendar, with a vital benefit being the ready and simple utilisation of additional modules," Nigel concluded. " Baseplan's highly experienced consultants also ensure new clients are taught "best practices" to maximise the benefits of this tool, while existing clients that upgrade to later versions of Baseplan can start using the Planning Calendar with little or no training."
