The system is intuitive and user friendly and allows us to effectively manage the user permissions in-house via the admin portal. This is all backed up by a great customer support team and projects team always on hand to help and assist with any issues that crop up Pros An excellent system that we use to manage the hiring and off-hiring of our plant equipment over hundreds of sites across the UK The ability to integrate with Oracle R12 to simplify invoicing and asset management is the star of the show, as it allows us to automate tasks that would take hours of time to carry out manually The InspHire support team are also hard working and customer focussed and are always on hand to work with us to customise the system to our needs. Cons We've not really found any negatives to the software, other than importing multiple new assets to the system when we take on a new contract was initially very slow. But, after working with the InspHire Projects team, a solution was found to create batch imports via SQL, which removed this issue.

RE Reviewer Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "7 years of using insphire in review" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 February 17, 2022 First few years were great, but since they were bought out service levels have just dropped through the floor. It's still a good product, but without basic bug fixing it's now a ticking timebomb. Processes we automated 5 years ago to save time have had to go back to manual because of problems with the software Pros Good contract management, very flexible and customizable. Resource and stock management have only improved over the years. Cons In 2018 Insphire was purchased by Kerridge Commercial Systems who over the next 12 months slashed the customer support and development team. Technical support is now frankly pathetic with critical issues taking months to resolve, compared to days in 2017. Fixes &New features documents with major releases used to be on the order of 120 pages of details, the latest versions have been more like 30 pages. I've not seen anything significantly added now in over 2 years, with long standing bugs known for the same length of time remain unfixed. I can only assume they are intentionally running it into the ground as their new parent company has their own rental software Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

RE Reviewer Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "InspHire Has It Covered" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 December 16, 2016 The InspHire software has enabled our business to easily track equipment on hire and stock sold, and keep on top of our maintenance system, therefore, reducing man hours spent completing and reviewing paperwork, and ensuring Sales Invoices for equipment hires and sales can be submitted to our clients in a timely manner, which, in turn, assists with cash flow. Pros The Invoice Run Preview Reports are easy to understand, even for non-users of the InspHire software, and the invoicing process is quick and efficient. Cons On occasions, the Reports produced by the InspHire software are not always sufficient for our business/clients, and any extra Reports required need to be tailored by the Technical Support Team.....at a cost!!!

Pros Easy to use and user friendly. Good for purchasing and stock control and hire. Served us well for sales also, just missing a decent back order option. Cons Main restriction for us has been the fact that we cannot access it online. Particularly through Covid this proved quite frustrating. I think it is possible with an add on but quite an upheaval and extra cost so we didn't go with this option.

Pros The whole system is a pro, I wouldn’t be able to do my job without it, having all data in one place is a huge help to both me and the business. It meets all our needs as a company.

RE Reviewer Hire Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Easy data input makes aspects of my job a lot easier" 5.0 February 23, 2018 Pros The way the system constantly updates information in all sections and areas relating to the information we input, makes it easier to carry out tasks and operations. It's a massive time saver. Cons You can select a customer and check on hire history, invoice history etc. But you cannot select a supplier and check on purchasing history from that supplier. When looking for information on an item purchased from a supplier, it can be a tedious process unless you have specific information such as contract number.

From our initial inquiry, our account manager was incredibly helpful and answered all of our questions and concerns. The workshop module has helped us greatly. We're able to easily manage all our shop construction projects and tank maintenance. Cons Upgrading our rental software has been an incredibly large and time-consuming project. However, inspHire have been really accommodating, the implementation was smooth and manageable, with everything delivered on time.

As a company we have expanded steadily over the years and our inspHire installation has grown with us. Pros We chose inspHire as it seemed to be much more user friendly that other systems. After relatively little training, our staff have mastered the system and it is second nature to them. inspHire is a good company to work with. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and are genuinely interested in their customers. Cons The software is very comprehensive and contains a lot of functionality that we do not use and probably will never use.
