Try PC Rental Agent FREE for 60-days.

DesignerWare’s PCRental Agent continues to change the rental industry as stores find success with the product. According to Tim Kelly, President of DesignerWare, “It’s amazing just how well the product has been received and the success stores are reporting. When a store calls me the first thing they usually ask is ‘does the software really work’? I tell them give me 60 days. If after 60 days you’re not a believer, all you have to do is stop using the software.”

Why 60 days? “Most stores only rent 1 or 2 computers a week; therefore it takes about 60 days to get the program loaded onto enough computers so you can see the impact. Designerware suggests that stores install the Agent on new computers and get familiar with it before aggressively rolling out to their current customer base. "Within 60 days, the typical store will have enough computers loaded and will have to lockdown at least one customer. Once they do, they become a believer," says Kelly.

How does the process work? “The Agent checks with a website roughly every two hours, if the website tells the Agent to lockdown the computer, the Agent locks the computer. Once locked, the computer cannot be used or restored. The computer displays a lockdown screen that informs the user to call your store. Kelly recommends working the account normally and setting fixed parameters around when you lockdown a computer. "In my stores, we only lockdown a computer basically when the customer has broken every commitment and has gone 8+ days late, but it’s up to each store as to how they manage the lockdown. We have some stores that lockdown everyone that hasn’t paid at the end of each week."

“Originally, we developed the software envisioning using the Agent to lockdown and recover skips. But when we started locking down accounts past due we made ourselves a believer," Kelly said. "When a computer gets locked, it cannot be used and a customer is going to be more responsive. Within 60 days you’re going to see an improvement in collections, reduction in cost, and less charge offs.”

Kelly concluded, "We’re so convinced that we’re offering it FREE for 60-days. All we ask is you pay $19.95 for shipping, handling, CD’s, and programming the website with your store information. If after 60-days you’re not convinced, just stop using the software.”
