Track the lifespan of a rental unit from cradle to grave.
View rental contracts, check rental capacity and track lost sales from the ASPEN Rental Calendar screen.
ASPEN’s robust financial utilization reporting helps you decide when to expand or transfer units out of the rental fleet and more timely decisions. Whether opting for scheduled depreciation, on-demand depreciation, or depreciation as a percentage of rental income, ASPEN monitors that cost basis never goes below the designated salvage value—so you can stay on top of unit depreciation.
- Find Units records quickly with ASPEN’s powerful Unit Selection screen by searching on any field. Easily view and sort, or further refine the resulting records by applying filters in an easy-to-view and sort grid. View mode allows editing of those records without having to search again. As with all ASPEN selection screens, results are exportable.
