Not all rental ERPs speak “modular”

There are plenty of ERP solutions out there.

Most promise:

  • Inventory tracking
  • Job management
  • Financial reporting

But here’s the truth: Most ERPs are built for manufacturing, retail, or construction – not modular rentals.
If your system doesn’t understand:

  • Bundled accessories (furniture, HVAC, stairs)
  • Serialized asset tracking
  • Long-term billing cycles
  • On-site check-in/check-out
  • Off-rent vs actual pickup dates

…then it doesn’t really understand your business. Business Central + Armada EQM Rental is different.


Modular rental is complex. Your system shouldn’t be.

Let’s compare:

Feature

Generic ERP

Business Central + Armada EQM Rental

Tracks modular units + add-ons

Often requires workarounds

Native bundled tracking for full asset packages

Handles long/short-term rentals

Usually geared toward short-term

Flexible contracts, recurring billing, prorated terms

Mobile tools for field teams

Limited or clunky

Field-first interface for delivery, pickup, inspection

Off-rent logic

Often missing

Built-in workflows to avoid missed charges

Financial integration

Manual syncs required

Seamless link to accounting, billing & project cost tracking

Designed for modular?

No.

Yes – built for modular rentals from the ground up.

 

You don’t need a workaround. You need a system that understands your world – and makes it easier to scale.
