For Homeowners/Light Contractors
Power rakes
The MulchPro power rakes from Grassroots Technology
are designed to be up to 75-percent faster than fluffing mulch by hand
with rakes or pitchforks. The heavy-duty design allows it to cultivate
dead spots in turf caused by salt or tire damage, and prepares the
ground for sod or seeding in seconds. Turning and aerating mulch also
promotes good composting and reduces the frequency and cost of removing
accumulated mulch. Using the MulchPro to aerate mulch helps eliminate
mold, mildew and fungus that forms between layers by introducing oxygen
needed to activate composting.

Software
Point-of-Rental
Systems' Windows-based Enterprise software is designed with speed,
ease-of-use, and flexibility in mind. With easy contract writing,
Internet integration, driver's license and item graphic image storage,
plus an array of analysis reports to help owners track trends,
Enterprise has features to help rental businesses run smoothly. It is
designed to handle the complexities of single stores as well as
high-volume multi-store environments. The latest 9.0 release includes
No-Type Technology, which uses the Internet to automatically look up and
insert information into a customer's record.
"As far as specific features go, the driver's license scanner is a
favorite," says Scott Munsterman, president of Oswego, Ill.-based First
Place Rental. "It not only scans a picture of the license, but it adds
the information directly into the customer record. That's very helpful.
Another feature we really appreciate is the automated instruction file.
If you rent a roto-tiller, the system automatically prints the safety
instructions with the contract. That eliminates a huge liability factor
for us."
