How NetSuite Rental Management Transforms Renewable Energy Leasing

 

Streamlined Rental Contract Management

Our NetSuite Rental Management SuiteApp allows businesses to capture and manage all leasing contracts in one place. Lease terms, billing frequency, and durations are tracked accurately, enabling seamless operations and customer transparency.

 

Automated Billing and Pro-Rata Calculations

Hourly, daily, or monthly leasing rates are automatically billed. For contracts starting or ending mid-cycle, pro-rata calculations ensure accurate invoicing, maintaining healthy cash flow.

 

Equipment Shipment, Returns, and Quality Control

Efficient shipment and return workflows, along with built-in quality checks, guarantee that renewable energy equipment is delivered, installed, and returned in optimal condition. This reduces downtime and improves client satisfaction.

 

Real-Time Equipment Availability

Renewable energy equipment availability can be checked in real-time, avoiding double bookings and ensuring timely deployment to client sites.

 

Preventive Maintenance and Usage Tracking

Automated maintenance scheduling based on usage metrics or time intervals ensures equipment reliability. Operators can log usage directly via the mobile app, enabling proactive servicing and reducing unexpected failures.

 

Subcontract Purchase Orders for Shortfalls

When in-house equipment is unavailable, the system generates subcontract POs with preferred vendors, ensuring leases are fulfilled without delays.

A Real-World Example

Consider a solar panel leasing company managing multiple projects across different locations:

🔹Before: Teams manually tracked installations, usage, and billing, leading to errors and delayed invoicing.

🔹After: With NetSuite Rental Management, contracts, invoices, and maintenance schedules are automated. Real-time dashboards display asset usage and availability, allowing teams to plan deployments efficiently and reduce downtime.

This approach improves operational efficiency, maximizes asset utilization, and enhances customer trust.
