ERA releases digital transition guide

ERA has released the ‘The impact of digitalisation in the equipment rental industry’ report.

It aims to raise awareness among all rental ‎companies in Europe, including SMEs and national associations, about the challenges of ‎digitalisation and provide elements of best practice on the journey to a successful digital ‎transformation.

The report answers critical questions related to digitalisation in the rental industry and provides a window into how companies are leading the transformation.

It also highlights the opportunities and threats that digitalisation poses, and provides practical advice and guidance for businesses to meet the challenge of digitalisation.

Michel Petitjean, Secretary General of ERA, said: “Digitalisation is transforming the commercial landscape for rental companies, with implications for their sales, marketing, operations, asset management, business models and more.

“With this report, we hope to give the rental industry a resource of real value for understanding and navigating this transformation.”

The report project was led by the ERA Future Group, which brings together young managers from rental companies to provide insight and vision on strategic issues.
