SmartEquip and Rouse Services are part of the RB Global family, and the union makes perfect sense. Equipment rental companies and other fleet owners utilize Ritchie Bros. to acquire or sell equipment. SmartEquip and Rouse Services provide complementary and cutting-edge services that support all the other stages of the equipment lifecycle.
Rouse delivers reporting to fleet owners on industry benchmark rental rates, utilization, and equipment values to enable them to make asset management, purchasing, and disposition decisions with confidence.
SmartEquip meanwhile has been specializing in the parts procurement and service support business for over two decades. Equipment companies come to SmartEquip to connect them directly with their suppliers and their ERP systems on a single platform, which enables dynamic, serial-number-specific support of all the equipment in their fleet. This access allows equipment owners to implement a solitary, consistent process, for every brand of equipment, at every location. With one consistent workflow, the platform makes the process easy to train and even easier to use.
The two services combine to create a uniformed, customer-first support system for used equipment lifecycle management.
The equipment lifecycle spans from an asset’s first acquisition to its eventual retirement. Ritchie Bros. offers multiple transaction solutions for an asset’s change in ownership along its full lifecycle, in order to maximize the value for both buyer and seller. SmartEquip offers solutions designed to maximize the value of ownership itself – in other words, while the asset is held, rather than sold. Rouse enables fleet owners to maximize their return on assets throughout the equipment lifecycle and at the time of disposition by providing insights around the value of assets, their rental performance, and the right time to sell.
We’ll break down the several stages – Planning & Deployment, Utilization & Maintenance, and Disposition – and show you where Rouse and SmartEquip can support you at every phase of the journey.
