FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — NationsRent recently announced the rollout of e-FleetPro, SmartEquip's integrated electronic parts ordering and product support system to some of its larger stores.

“We are excited to begin deploying e-FleetPro in the parts and service areas of our business, where up-to-date manufacturer product support information is critical to maximize fleet uptime,” said NationsRent CEO Jeff Putman. “With the growing list of manufacturers participating in the SmartEquip network, we expect that the great majority of the first cost of our fleet will be covered in the next 12 months.”

e-FleetPro is a single source for manufacturer service documentation and electronic commerce transactions, delivering continually updated product information to rental branches including intelligent schematics, pricing, diagnostics, service manuals and equipment specifications. It provides a secure pipeline for streamlined order placement, concurrently creating a purchase order in the rental management system and transmitting the order data to the manufacturer without re-keying or duplication.

Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based NationsRent is No. 6 on the RER 100, with 267 locations in 26 states, including 99 at Lowe's Home Improvement locations.
