RTD At Work : For the tent rental sector

The same presentation, used for an entirely different reason. The hirer is not buying a tent. They are buying an event, and they want to see it.

The contractor arrives at the premises with a laptop and a tablet, and leaves with the job agreed.

RTD Stretch lets you show the structure like never before. Take a picture of the site, insert the intended tent into that picture, and put it exactly where it will stand. Or take a screengrab from an online mapping program and use it as the site plan, with the tent placed against the real boundaries, the real access and the real neighbours. Email it to the client the same afternoon; they are looking at their requirement, on their site, in the correct position.

That image answers the questions that otherwise turn into arguments on the morning of the build. Does it clear the trees? Which way does the entrance face? Where does the marquee sit relative to the house, the drive and the caterer's van? How much lawn is left? A hirer who can see the answer stops asking and stops changing their mind later.

Inside the structure the same model carries the layout, so the seating and the floor plan are discussed against the actual footprint rather than an estimate on the back of an enquiry form.

Then the job comes round. The same software prints the loading list for that exact job, so the lorry is loaded to the specification the client agreed rather than to a memory of it. The same image goes out with the crew, and it tells them where the tent is sited and which way it faces before anyone unrolls anything.

Sold on a Tuesday afternoon from a tablet, loaded on the Friday from the same file.
