Sycor.Rental for the challenges rental businesses experience.

In today's fast-moving business world...

That’s exactly what Sycor.Rental, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management, is designed to do. It connects your operational rental workflows with your financial fixed asset records, turning what used to be a headache into a well-oiled machine.

Bridging the Gap Between Equipment and Assets

Think of Sycor.Rental as the translator between two teams that don’t always speak the same language: operations and finance. On one hand, you’ve got bulldozers, monitors, cranes, or medical devices moving in and out of rental jobs. On the other, you’ve got accountants trying to keep track of what those assets are worth, how they depreciate, and whether they’re still in compliance.

Sycor.Rental keeps both sides aligned by linking equipment data directly to fixed asset records within Dynamics 365. No duplicate entries, no manual updates, no guesswork.

Unified Rental Order Management

It all starts with a rental order. From the moment a piece of equipment is scheduled for a job, Sycor.Rental kicks into gear— tracking availability, usage, delivery, and return. Automated workflows ensure nothing slips through the cracks, and intuitive screens keep everyone from sales to dispatch on the same page.

The best part? As soon as equipment moves, the data behind it moves too — updating both rental operations and financial ledgers in real time.

Smarter Equipment Maintenance and Lifecycle Tracking

This isn’t just about checking a box that says “item returned.” Sycor.Rental helps you monitor the full lifecycle of your equipment—from first use to final retirement.

You can:

Set up preventive maintenance schedules
Track service history and costs
Monitor utilization rates and decide when it’s time to replace or resell

All this data not only helps reduce costly downtime, but it also feeds directly into asset valuations and depreciation calculations—ensuring your books are as accurate as your jobsite.

A guide on rental operations and asset management.

Integration with Fixed Asset Records

Here’s where things get really interesting for your finance team.

Every rental activity—be it a new order, a transfer, or a maintenance update—can be reflected in your fixed asset ledger automatically. That means no more digging through spreadsheets or chasing down asset tags at month-end.

This integration ensures:

Compliance with accounting standards
Accurate depreciation and asset valuations
Real-time insight into how your assets are performing financially and operationally

It’s the kind of visibility that makes auditors smile—and decision-makers even happier.

Streamlined Inventory and Asset Management

Inventory and fixed assets used to live in separate silos. With Sycor.Rental, they’re part of the same ecosystem. That means when a piece of equipment moves, your inventory records, rental transactions, and asset ledger all stay in sync.

You get real-time stock levels, fewer errors from manual data entry, and a much simpler process for physical inventory counts and reconciliations.

Whether you're tracking rented assets, spare parts, or items held in reserve, Sycor.Rental helps you maintain full control and compliance—without the data headaches.

In Summary: One System, Two Big Wins

The true beauty of Sycor.Rental lies in its ability to unite operational excellence with financial accountability. By bringing together equipment tracking, rental workflows, and fixed asset management into one seamless platform, organizations gain more than just control—they gain clarity.

That means:
Less administrative burden
More accurate records
Smarter capital planning
Faster, more confident decision-making

As the business world grows more complex, integrated solutions like Sycor.Rental help simplify the equation. It's not just about renting smarter—it's about managing your entire fleet and asset portfolio with insight, precision, and confidence.
