reporting is excellent.

Apps &
Integrations
Maximise your Syrinx applications by adding Syrinx mobile
apps to your software. The apps work with your Syrinx system
to increase functionality and efficiency, helping you get even
more out of your business.
Syrinx Driver App
Avoid the challenges of paperwork on the road
or mix-ups at the depot when drivers return to
collect more equipment to deliver. Syrinx’s Driver
App runs on a mobile Android device and allows
jobs to be downloaded from Syrinx to be carried
out by your drivers. The program collects photos,
vehicle checks, signatures and geographical
information, which is then uploaded into your
system when each job is completed. Now your
transport operations can run better than before!

Syrinx Operator App
Syrinx Operator App and Operator Scheduler
work together to help enable hire businesses to
manage their machine operators more efficiently.
The app allows machine operators to view their
upcoming schedule and enter time sheet hours
against their contracts. Completed timesheets
are automatically uploaded to Syrinx for users to
review. The Scheduler allows you to see at a
glance which operators are available and are
allocated by shift or by contract.
Syrinx Sales App
Empower your sales team by allowing
them to access Syrinx customer data
and create quotes on any tablet or laptop. They
will be able to review customer history, transaction
history: and see up-to-the-minute stock
availability, which will enable them to provide
accurate pricing for detailed, on-the-spot
quotations. This cuts down on data entry errors
and time spent entering that data.
Dashboard
Put your data to use with Dashboard. It brings
together the hire and sales, customer, fleet,
turnover, and operational data you need to make
informed decisions by presenting it in an easyto-understand
dashboard, tailored to your role.
Visual and intuitive, it lets you perform
sophisticated analysis without specialist skills.
Dashboard links into Syrinx, Sage, and Access
dimensions’ databases to get fast answers to
your most pressing questions.
AEMP/Telematics
Your equipment is one of the most valuable
aspects of your business. During transportation or
even while on a customer site, it’s at risk from
theft or damage. Syrinx now supports TSO Mobile
tracking, putting you back in control of your fleet.
You’ll see real-time and historical location data,
be able to create geofences, track speeds and
usage history, all of which will help optimise your
fleet’s use.
Online Ordering
Allow your customers to place orders or request
quotations even when your business is closed.
Online Ordering allows your customers to browse
your hire and sales products: view key product
information and images, download specification
documents, and check availability and pricing.
They can also search within your catalogue using
the Search box at the top. All this information is
synced with your Syrinx database, ensuring
availability is accurate and up-to-date.
Report Scheduler
Report Scheduler runs each evening to produce
sets of reports, automatically emailing them to
designated customers and employees. If the
information is stored in Syrinx (and basically, it all
can be), it can be included in a scheduled report.
Syrinx Workshop App
Equipment maintenance can be a lengthy
process. Users print out jobs required each day,
manually distributing them among engineers, who
fill out MORE paperwork upon completing each
task before it’s entered into the computer system.
But with Syrinx Workshop, services, inspections,
breakdowns, off-hire inspections, or customer
repairs have information stored electronically.
Syncing between the app and Syrinx ensures
users and engineers stay up-to-date.
Document Scanning
Syrinx Document Scanning saves your company
hours of time spent filing or retrieving documents,
giving your staff more time to spend with
customers or on other important duties. It gives
you the security of knowing you can quickly and
accurately find documents in your Syrinx system.
You can even scan documents individually or in
bulk for easier processing.

BOA
& CRANE HIRE
Overview
Formed as a division of Barretts of Aspley Limited in 2014, BoA Plant draws on a wealth of
knowledge and experience gained from over 25 years within the construction industry to
supply a safe, fast, and efficient service. With contract lift cranes and driver-only crane hire,
as well as a growing fleet of plant to hire including diggers, dumpers and rollers from the
world’s leading suppliers such as Kubota and Thwaites, BoA has a lot of inventory to
manage. That’s why they chose Syrinx by Point of Rental Software to manage their
processes of setting priorities, distributing, and controlling jobs.
With a large, diverse (and growing) fleet, however, comes new obstacles – especially on the
maintenance side. Improper or lost documentation meant more equipment down and
wasted staff time. BoA needed a solution to streamline their maintenance processes.
Solution
Syrinx Workshop App was introduced in 2016, and BoA adopted the software early. BoA
could use the same software they depended on in the other aspects of their business and
extend it into the maintenance bay.
With the Syrinx Workshop App, availability and returns processes were quickly simplified.
With real-time updates, the app gives BoA’s Syrinx users a clear picture of the exact status
of their inventory at any given time.
When a machine on a client site has been damaged, photos can be taken directly within
the app along with any other details required. The subsequent communication with a client
is faster and more accurate, enabling BoA to control costs.
Tracking when machinery is due for service is automated, saving large amounts of time
that would have been spent on administration. Syrinx Workshop can also track trends,
enabling BoA to spot recurring issues within a machine. Although rare, they value this as a
key feature from a safety and cost -saving point of view.
The Syrinx Workshop App also helps prioritise urgently needed machinery by allowing it to
instantly be moved to the top of an engineer’s task list without the need for a phone call.
Results
The Syrinx Workshop App has enabled BoA to be even more proactive for their customers:
prevent recurring issues, save time and increase their service capabilities. As far as BoA
are concerned, the Syrinx Workshop App has significantly contributed to the success of
their growth.
“We would highly recommend it to all companies looking for a simple but powerful way to
control their machinery maintenance and repair processes,” said Tom Crussell, Hire
Negotiator and Systems Administrator at BoA Plant and Crane Hire.

Our History
Why is Point of Rental different than other hire software? Well, literal rocketscientists-turned-hire-business-owners
built the original product in 1983. And
it’s only become smarter since, as experts who have worked every position in
a hire business continued to build the software. Now we have more than 5,000
businesses worldwide suggesting improvements, providing feedback, and
guiding us towards solutions that will benefit the industry.
In 2016, Higher Concept Software’s owners were ready to retire. Having
built their own award-winning hire software company in the U.K. dedicated
to innovation and exemplary customer service, they wanted to ensure their
company and their customers would be in good hands. They approached
our CEO, Wayne, and Point of Rental added Syrinx and the staff behind it to
our hire family. We’re proud to continue to develop Syrinx and work with
the people that have fallen in love with it over the years.
Point of Rental now has offices in the U.S., U.K., and Australia, supports
businesses in 80+ countries, and we continue to lead the industry as the
premier provider of hire management software.
We know hire. So, if you ever want to know what Point of Rental can do for
your business, just give us a call. We speak your language.
