Keystone is a software solution that solves the problems the service industry has with equipment hire.  Everything from the booking of equipment for future leases, to the replenishment and control of inventory is now in handled in the web-based program.  In addition, all maintenance and logistics activities are carefully logged in the system, which also provides a complete overview of leases and equipment.

Saves a lot of time

“The problem for many companies has been that the rental of equipment is an arduous process that requires a lot of management”, says Leif Måsvær, Sales Director at Keystone.no.

• What equipment is available on a given date?
• What equipment should we buy more of, in order to meet future deliveries?
• How do we share documentation with our clients?
• When does the equipment need to be certified again?

“These are questions our customers are often faced with”, continues Måsvær.  He believes many companies are wasting lots of time on unnecessary administration.   “Just think of how difficult it is to obtain precise information to base decisions on when this information always needs to located and gathered first”, he continues.

Maintenance, inventory and rental

The Keystone program is designed to allow multiple people to work around the same information simultaneously.   The system allows those working in the warehouse to keep control of both consumables and serial number based quipment.  The maintenance department can carry out and document their work in the system. Sales people can set up lease agreements and reserve equipment for future jobs.

Easy to use

Software should be easy to use.  No one likes having to spend hours to familiarize themselves with how a program should be used.  Users are becoming more discerning in terms of implementing new computer systems. Therefore, the software has to be adapted to suit individual customer needs. Software is about people.  Not the people who made it, but the people who are going to use it.
