What We Did

United Rentals, the world’s largest equipment rental company, worked with argodesign through a multi-year initiative to transform their business from equipment provider into a service-oriented platform for planning and managing construction projects. Through extensive research, strategy, design, and development, argo charted a course for the company to consolidate and digitize their marketplace, integrate data-driven insights, and deliver customer-facing tools for tracking and directing equipment, people, materials, and activities across worksites.

An industry growing up quickly

The construction industry is in dire need of digitization, now more than ever. With lack of reliable data and coordinated planning tools, construction equipment sits idle for up to 70% of its time on-site, resulting in increased costs and unnecessary delays. Furthermore, crews lack visibility into where their equipment is, what is available, and its condition at any given moment, creating friction for managers and contractors trying to complete their assignments in a timely manner.
