Lifting Gear Hire Corp. Updates Website
Lifting Gear Hire Corp. recently updated its website, www.lgh-usa.com. The new site is designed to provide a more streamlined and accessible user experience, including the ability to quickly find local representation and submit quote requests directly over the Internet.
“The old site was easy for LGH employees to navigate through and update information, but didn't really provide a lot of functionality for our customers,” said Dan Barton, LGH sales and marketing coordinator. “The new site is much more user-friendly, and makes it easier for our customers to find, and get, the equipment they need.”
Among the site's upgrades are a built-in search function that allows customers to search by zip code for their nearest LGH representative or the company's closest facility. They can also submit quote requests directly over the Internet, instead of being referred to a phone number as on the old site. The new lgh-usa.com also hosts complete spec sheets and catalog information for all of the equipment offered by LGH, and features an RSS feed so customers can stay abreast of industry news, company developments and special offers.
“This new site helps keep us on the cutting edge of technology in our industry,” Barton said, adding that more capabilities are planned down the road. “We are doing the development in stages. This first stage was to streamline the layout and design. Phase two will be more behind-the-scenes as well as developing additional features that will make the site even better and easier to use.”
Headquartered in Bridgeview, Ill., Lifting Gear Hire Corp. is No 78 on the RER 100. It specializes in the rental of winching and material handling equipment. LGH has 11 locations in the United States, with sales support representatives in more than 25 states.
Point-of-Rental Systems Debuts New Website
Point-of-Rental Systems, a provider of Windows-based rental management software recently launched a major update to its website. The newly redesigned site, www.point-of-rental.com, features a more corporate look as well as streamlined navigation that helps prospective and existing customers easily find the information they need.
“We now have a website that better reflects the quality and scalability that Point-of-Rental Systems is recognized for throughout the various rental industries we serve,” said Bob Shaffer, president.
The site is designed to better project the various rental industries that Point-of-Rental software fits including the rental of construction equipment, tents, party, audio/visual and many other markets.
Andre Farci, webmaster and website developer for Point-of-Rental Systems, said that the revamped site should also draw more customers to the company's website hosting service. This optional feature automatically uploads a store's inventory including pictures and pricing from their Point-of-Rental database into the store's own website. Other features include a shopping cart and customer portal.
“The new look of our redesigned company website will give our prospects and existing customers a taste of the quality we can offer with Point-of-Rental Systems' webhosting,” Farci said. “The new Point-of-Rental site combined valuable feedback from our existing customers as well as from our own marketing, development and support departments.”
The new design is expected to support Point-of-Rental Systems' continued growth while existing customers benefit from the new centralized authentication system that provides them with a library of monthly tips, instructional videos and other useful documents only available to Point-of-Rental registered users.
