Rent Track is a Progressive Solutions’ brand name for InspHire software, a leading asset management software for the rental industry (www.insphire.com). Progressive Solutions recently penned an agreement to be the North American partner for InspHire’s Corporate Edition.

“This partnership is a great example of how readily we can add industry requirements to bisTrack due to the ease of development and integration in the Microsoft platform,” said Len Williams, President and CEO of Progressive Solutions. “We saw that the need for good rentals management capabilities was not being addressed by incumbent LBM business software suppliers. By partnering with InspHire, another trusted Microsoft Certified Partner with a solid track record, we have been able to quickly deliver an extraordinary solution that has already drawn praise from our customers.”
