Marketing

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.

Marketing - Integrated Web Option

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.

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.
HireEzy is the only known system in the world to offer this fully integrated functionality – a critical business tool.  

Quoting

HireEzy has some simple inbuilt tools to support your quotation process, such as:
1.   An inbuilt length estimator,
2.   Contractor resource availability,
3.   Inventory availability for a given date range, and
4.   Discount rate for approved clients

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.

Invoicing

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.

Manage and Allocate Resources

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.
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.

Your staff and contractors are essential to your service delivery.  HireEzy provides the tools to improve your management of your most valuable asset – people.  

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.

Delivery, Assemble, Inspect, Dis-Assemble and Collect

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:
•   Assembly/ disassembly  tasks,
•   Payment collection,
•   On-site period inspections, and
•   Collections.

It even includes full integration with Google Street maps to provide directions.  On site conditions, limitations including access times etc are also included.

Accounting

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.  

Manage Your Clients

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.

HireEzy is the ideal solution for temporary roofing, scaffolding and fencing hire/ rental companies who want to grow their business whether in the USA, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom or New Zealand.
