AI-nativeBuilt into quoting, inbound triage, dispatch and billing

MOAB is an AI-native equipment rental management software and ERP that brings the entire rental operation onto one platform. Inventory, orders, dispatch, service and accounting all share the same data, with AI handling the routine work. The result is real-time visibility across the fleet and the ability to handle more dispatch volume with the same team size.

Key strengths

• One unified system: Every team works from the same data. When the counter changes an order, the yard, the driver and the invoice update with it.
• AI built into the workflow: MOAB generates quotes instantly from live inventory and pricing. It also sorts incoming requests automatically and applies customer payments without manual matching.
• Real-time utilization: Telematics data feeds time and dollar utilization, so managers can see how each asset, cat class and branch is performing.
• Modern dispatch: Dispatchers plan routes on a live map and can see where every driver is. Truck capacity planning by weight or volume helps fit more deliveries on each run.
• Scale: MOAB tracks millions of assets and handles more than 2,500 orders and 1,000 routes every day.
• Integrations: MOAB connects to dozens of tools rental teams already use, including Samsara and Geotab for telematics, Rouse for rental benchmarking, and accounting systems such as QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite and Dynamics 365.
• Customers: Customers include heavy equipment rental companies Texas First Rentals (HOLT Cat) and Battlefield Equipment Rental (Toromont Cat), plus National Trench Safety and Axis Portable Air.

Worth considering

• It's built for mid-market and enterprise operators, so a single-location shop may not need its full depth.
• Pricing is quote-based, so you'll need a demo to get a number.
