How NetSuite Rental Management Transforms Oil & Gas Equipment Rentals

The oil & gas industry depends heavily on equipment rentals. From drilling rigs and compressors to specialized tools, every piece of equipment plays a critical role in operations. Yet managing these rentals is often a challenge—contracts are complex, billing cycles vary, and maintenance needs are constant.

This is where NetSuite Rental Management is making a remarkable difference. For oil & gas service providers, adopting a unified system for rental operations is no longer an option—it’s a necessity.

At SuiteWorks Tech, a trusted NetSuite Solution Provider, we’ve seen how companies in this sector are streamlining their rental workflows and maximizing equipment utilization with this native SuiteApp.

The Challenge of Oil & Gas Equipment Rentals

Oil & gas companies operate in a high-stakes environment where downtime is costly. Equipment must be delivered on time, contracts must be precise, and billing must reflect actual usage. Manual processes and disconnected systems often lead to:

🔹Delayed or inaccurate invoices

🔹Missed maintenance schedules

🔹Double-booked equipment

🔹Limited visibility into asset availability

The result? Revenue leakage, inefficiencies, and operational bottlenecks.

This is the exact problem NetSuite Rental Management was built to solve.

Why Oil & Gas Companies Are Turning to NetSuite Rental Management

Oil & gas providers need a system that can manage complex rentals at scale while reducing administrative overhead. The NetSuite Rental Management Software from SuiteWorks Tech does exactly that.

Key Features That Make the Difference

🔹Rental Contract Management: Captures every contract detail—pricing, duration, and billing frequency—ensuring full traceability.

🔹Auto Billing & Pro-Rata Billing: Automates invoices and ensures accuracy, even when rentals don’t align with standard cycles.

🔹Usage-Based Billing: Perfect for equipment charged by the hour or day, aligning invoices with actual usage.

🔹Maintenance Scheduling: Auto-triggers service jobs based on usage or time intervals, reducing costly breakdowns.

🔹Real-Time Equipment Availability: Eliminates double-booking by showing exactly what’s available and when.

🔹Fixed Asset Integration: Syncs with NetSuite’s Fixed Asset Management for depreciation tracking and financial reporting.

🔹Mobile Access for Operators: Enables field operators to log equipment hours directly from mobile devices.

Together, these features create a seamless workflow from rental contract creation to equipment return and maintenance.

NetSuite Rental Management in Action for Oil & Gas

Let’s imagine an oilfield services company that rents drilling equipment to multiple sites across regions.

🔹Before NetSuite Rental Management: Contracts were stored in different systems, invoices were often delayed, and equipment availability had to be confirmed manually. Maintenance jobs were reactive, leading to frequent downtime.

🔹After NetSuite Rental Management: Every contract is logged in one place, invoices go out automatically, and operators log usage directly from the field. Maintenance is triggered by actual usage, ensuring equipment is always ready for the next job.

The transformation is immediate: smoother operations, faster billing, and higher customer satisfaction.

Benefits Driving Adoption in Oil & Gas

Oil & gas companies adopting NetSuite Rental Management are seeing measurable improvements:

🔹Streamlined Operations: Automation removes repetitive manual tasks.

🔹Improved Cash Flow: On-time, accurate billing stabilizes revenue.

🔹Higher Equipment Utilization: Real-time visibility keeps assets in circulation.

🔹Longer Asset Life: Preventive maintenance reduces costly replacements.

🔹Data-Driven Insights: Dashboards and reports provide visibility into utilization and profitability.

These benefits are not just operational wins—they directly impact the bottom line.

The Mobile Advantage in Remote Operations

Oil & gas sites are often remote, and field operators need quick, reliable tools. With the NetSuite Rental Management Mobile App, operators can:

🔹Log equipment hours from the field

🔹Create rental estimates or orders on-site

🔹Sync data instantly with NetSuite

Managers, meanwhile, can approve entries anytime, anywhere—without requiring additional NetSuite licenses. For oil & gas, where time is money, this mobility is invaluable.
