Data integrity reduces risk of mistakes made because of the human nature and drives down costs by decreasing the amount of administrative work your employees have.

Firstly, the system allows you to keep track of each leased unit: list it on the lease application, identify with it with a unique ID, and set the attributes of the asset (e.g. new or used, starting mileage, color, etc.). Secondly, you can review and schedule all work orders: create service orders related to leased asset, order services, items from 3rd party suppliers, keep track of actual service cost and price and invoice services to customer. Thirdly, throughout the lease process you can configure document templates and map to data in the system (e.g. automate Lease Contract form with data fields filled in), and upload signed contracts, supporting documents to the system. Trust equipment leasing software and its data integrity feature to save time and increase efficiency of your work.
