Generator rental · CRM

Know which set is out, which planner called last and which site hire ends on Friday.

A CRM for a generator rental firm is one record of every enquirer, quote, hire and return, linked to the set that went out. GullySales works on setting up a tool your desk will actually use, with fields for kVA, date, place and the diesel terms.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What CRM means

A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For generator rental

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The fleet and the customer sit in different places”

    A paper register tells you which set is out. The customer's history lives in a phone. When both are joined, the desk can say the 125 kVA set returns on Monday and the same caterer hired it twice before.

  • “Extensions are the hidden income”

    A site hire runs past its end date and no one asks. A record that shows the return date and flags the day before gives the desk a reason to call and book the extension.

  • “A tool that takes too long is abandoned”

    On a wedding weekend nobody fills in a long form. The record needs only a few fields typed on a phone, with the rest added after the delivery, or it sits empty.

  • “The owner needs a view without asking the desk”

    Which quotes are open, which sets are idle and which accounts have gone quiet should show on one screen. Otherwise the owner relies on memory and on whoever last answered the phone.

What we do

What we deliver for generator rental.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A short record for each enquiry and hire

    Name, number, date, place, kVA, hours, source, quote and status, entered from a phone.

    Result: Every enquiry is findable by name or number.

  2. Set-to-hire linking

    Each hire carries the set, the delivery vehicle, the handover note and the return reading.

    Result: You can see which set is out and with whom.

  3. Return-date reminders

    A flag the day before a hire ends, so the desk can call about extension or collection.

    Result: No long hire runs on unnoticed.

  4. Contact groups for planners, sites and facilities

    Customers grouped by kind so a message goes only to those who need it.

    Result: A season note reaches the right people.

  5. A one-screen owner view

    Open quotes, sets out, sets idle and quiet accounts.

    Result: The owner reads the state of the yard without a phone call.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries logged in the CRM
  • Data completeness
  • Reports generated from CRM data

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Fields worth keeping

Keep fields that tie each set to a customer and a return date.

Set number and kVA
Picked by the desk from the fleet list when a hire is booked, so the yard knows which machine is out.
Hire start, planned return and actual return
Filled by the desk and the driver, letting the owner see which hire ends on which day and when to call for an extension.
Site pin and contact on site
Saved by the desk from the customer's message, so the driver reaches the right person at the gate.
Fuel level at handover and return
Entered by the technician with a photo, which settles a fuel dispute from the record.
Customer type
Planner, site, facility or committee, selected at booking, so you can plan season reminders for each.
Damage or complaint note
Added by the technician at return, so the next hire to the same customer starts with the history.

Who it is for

This is written for these generator rental.

  • Silent diesel generator hirers for events and weddings
  • Industrial and construction site power suppliers
  • Hospital and clinic standby power providers
  • Data centre and IT park backup hirers
  • Gas and dual-fuel generator rental firms
  • Light tower and portable power rental businesses
  • Generator service companies adding rentals
  • Electrical contractors who hold sets for hire

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Bookings are written on a wall chart that the whole yard trusts, and no one will enter them twice.
  • The fleet is a few sets on single hires, where a notebook gives you the same view.
  • Nobody records returns, so the CRM would show sets as out that are standing in the yard.

How it works

How the CRM work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Map the sales process

    We sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.

  2. 2

    Agree stages, fields and owners

    Each stage gets a name your team already uses and a proof that the deal has left it. We agree which fields are required at which stage, and who may change what.

  3. 3

    Build on a copy

    Pipeline, fields and views are built on a trial copy where the CRM offers one, or in a separate pipeline where the plan allows. Live work stays untouched.

  4. 4

    Connect channels, then switch on automations

    Channels are connected first. Each automation is then switched on separately, so a misfiring rule is easy to find.

  5. 5

    Test with real deals

    The people who will use the CRM run open deals through it. Gaps are fixed before the whole team switches over.

  6. 6

    Switch over and trim

    Once real use shows which fields stay empty and which stages nobody uses, those are cut and the handover record is updated.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Which CRM do you recommend?
One your desk will open on a phone. A simple spreadsheet or a light CRM suits a small fleet; a larger yard may want a proper tool. We pick after watching how a day's enquiries really arrive.
Can the CRM track our fuel and service records?
It can hold the tank level at handover and return, and note when a set is due for service. Detailed maintenance logs are better kept in your technician's own system.
Should service history sit in the same system?
Link it to the set number, even if the service log lives in a separate sheet. A set due for service should not go out on a long hire, and the desk needs to see that when booking, not discover it after delivery.
Who should update the return date?
The driver or technician who collects the set, on the day it returns. The desk learns the real date from the person who saw the set come back, and a date typed later from memory leaves sets shown as out when they are free.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
