The software used to run a business is not a “one-size-fits-all” proposition. Ritam Technologies understands that not all businesses are the same, and to optimize success, different features are needed to meet the business’s specific needs. That’s why the Summit Rental System is customizable.
“The Summit Rental System offers countless different options to match user’s needs,” says Mark Billings, product manager at Ritam Technologies. “You only pay for what you need.” With that idea, the company designed its new Summit Rental System with five editions available, each tailored to different needs of growing businesses and, according to Billings, it’s a great fit for PROs.
“We have 40 years of industry experience and five years of product development and testing that went into this latest version,” he says. “All of the best features of prior versions were combined with Summit Route Management and Summit Proof!, plus new billing flexibility and new Summit Mobility apps. This new version is the nexus of past experiences and latest technologies. It is an excellent fit for the industry, tightly tailored to industry standards with flexibilities for varying company policies and business practices.”
The Summit Rental Systems offers worldwide routing and mapping, a single-click route optimizer, Google map views, route sheets, disposal reports, load balancing, rerouting of missed services, route profit reporting, and delivery and pickup routing. The choice of two Summit Mobility apps offer proof of service with instant customer notifications and optional bar code scanning for inventory management. Its industry-specific billing system includes pro-rations, minimums, fuel surcharges, damage waivers, delivery/pickup charges, disposal fees and sales tax.
“Users feel this new version is easier to move around and get what they need, while adding greater flexibility in billing and routing,” says Billings. He says many companies don’t want to optimize daily, but rather keep the same route structure week to week. They filter in new deliveries and drop pickups from routes as they occur. As a result, the system expands the ability to save optimized routes as a basis moving forward.
“With the constant changes going on in the field, routes will become disorganized over time and periodic load balancing between routes and then optimizing may be performed to create a new, efficient basis,” says Billings. “They were accustomed to touching every job site every month in order to bill, but now with Summit, they have single-click access to billing and only touch an account when something changes.” 800-662-8471; www.ritam.com
