JT Wimsatt picks EZO's EZRentOut to track construction equipment

JT Wimsatt has selected EZO’s EZRentOut to better track reservations, availability and returns across its construction projects and job sites. The move highlights how rental equipment management is becoming more important as contractors juggle more assets across more locations.

Why it matters: - JT Wimsatt needs tighter control over equipment moving between large construction projects, including hotels, parking structures, high-rise residential buildings, colleges and universities, and airports. - Better visibility can reduce delays, limit wasted time and help teams know what is available, what is in use and what is due back. - The shift also reflects a broader move toward renting more construction equipment instead of owning it.

What happened: - EZO announced that JT Wimsatt, a Valencia, California-based structural concrete contractor, selected EZO’s EZRentOut for equipment visibility across its projects and job sites. - JT Wimsatt deployed the platform after evaluating several rental management systems. - EZO said EZRentOut brings equipment reservations, scheduling, dispatch, GPS tracking, maintenance, invoicing, payments and reporting into one system. - EZRentOut also syncs with QuickBooks, QuickBooks Online, Xero and Sage.

The details: - JT Wimsatt manages equipment for major construction work, where assets move frequently from one job to another. - The company needed a more accurate way to track equipment that is reserved, currently in use and due back. - Loreene Drew Tejada, equipment/yard administrator at JT Wimsatt, said the team wanted visibility without having to track down the last person who knew where a piece of equipment was. - EZO said recent American Rental Association data show 59.5% of construction equipment is now rented rather than owned, up from 40% a decade ago. - EZO said customers using EZRentOut have reported equipment turnaround improvements of as much as 25% and nearly 30 hours of administrative work reclaimed per week. - EZRentOut supports customers managing more than $100 million in active construction rental projects. - More information is available on EZO’s website.

Between the lines: - Construction teams often rely on spreadsheets, whiteboards, phone calls and text messages to manage equipment across jobs. - That kind of patchwork tracking can make it harder to keep rentals, maintenance and billing aligned. - EZO is positioning EZRentOut as a tool for operational control, not just rental administration. - Syed Ali, EZO’s founder and CEO, said the product is built to prevent delays and unnecessary costs when teams do not know where equipment is or whether it is ready to use.

What's next: - JT Wimsatt will use EZRentOut to centralize equipment visibility across ongoing projects. - EZO is likely to continue targeting contractors and rental-heavy operations that need cleaner tracking and faster turnaround. - The company says its products are used by thousands of organizations worldwide.

The bottom line: - For contractors managing high-value equipment across multiple jobs, visibility is becoming a core operational need, not a nice-to-have.
