Question 1

How fast does Mikla answer a rental call?

Accepted Answer

In under a minute, on the phone, Google, the website form, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, Yelp, and email. A foreman standing at a job site with a crew waiting does not leave a voicemail. He hangs up and calls the next yard, and the machine goes out from there.

Question 2

Can it tell a customer whether the machine is on the yard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is the question the trade gets asked most. Mikla checks the unit against what is out, what is due back, and what is already reserved. It then gives a real out date, or the closest machine in the fleet that can go instead.

Question 3

Does it know the difference between daily, weekly, and monthly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It quotes the rates the way your counter does. Three days on a daily rate against a weekly that costs a little more. Where the monthly breaks even. How many meter hours a day the rate includes before overtime starts.

Question 4

Will it work out whether we need to deliver?

Accepted Answer

Mikla asks what the customer is towing with, what hitch and ball they have, and whether they have a trailer at all. It weighs that against the unit. If the truck is not rated for the machine, it says so and books delivery and collection.

Question 5

How does it handle lifts and anything that needs a certified operator?

Accepted Answer

Aerial and boom work carries an operator requirement. Mikla asks for it before the reservation is confirmed and says what your yard needs to see at the counter. It never tells a customer they are qualified to run a machine.

Question 6

Does it cover the damage waiver and the fuel policy?

Accepted Answer

Both are said out loud at booking, not discovered on the invoice. The waiver rate and what it covers. Whether the unit comes back full or gets billed at your refuel rate. What happens when it comes in past the return time.

Question 7

Can it hold reservations for contractors we already know?

Accepted Answer

Repeat accounts are most of the book. Mikla recognises the returning company and keeps their job sites, their usual units, and their billing terms. A foreman does not have to spell out the account number again.

Question 8

What happens with the six in the morning calls?

Accepted Answer

They get answered. The crew rolls before the counter opens, and that is when a foreman finds out he needs a compactor or a trencher for the day. It is the busiest hour on the phone and nobody is staffed for it.

Question 9

Does it fit the rental system we already run?

Accepted Answer

Every confirmed reservation hands over the unit, the out and in dates, the rate, the job site address, and the delivery notes. It lands where your counter staff already look. Bring your system to the demo and we will confirm the connection.
