“I didn't know what I was missing. I had things under control, so why change? Why automate? But I didn't even realize how much more accurate and efficient I could be.”
This is the epiphany that came to Patty Miller Chief Financial Officer of Able Rent A Car after 15 years of handling 13 locations and a fleet of over 300 vehicles all by hand. When Able had finally taken the leap five years ago to automate their car rental operations, it was as if Patty had gained an extra week every month.

Save Time and Maximize Profits
Time is a valuable commodity for the busy car rental company, but the savings go even further for Able, a Rent A Wreck franchise. They have been able to realize tangible cost savings by using TSD RENTAL. “Human error is all but eliminated when you use a reliable software program to add things up,” commented Patty. “I used to have over 30 columns of data to try to balance, but with the G/L Distribution Report it is all done for me. What was taking me 15 hours has been reduced to 15 minutes.”

Number crunching was not the only element of tedium for Able, before turning to TSD RENTAL. Rental Agreements were hand written on a pre-printed form. Hourly rates, daily extras, state and local taxes, as well as many other preconditions, would be calculated manually. “There were errors. There was no way to avoid it all of the time. With TSD RENTAL, the charges are put into the right fields, properly calculated and then printed. The customers are actually more likely to trust the charges, as am I, when it is all automated. Plus the rental agreements have a professional look that makes our business look good.”

High Speed Credit Card Processing
Able Rent A Car also takes advantage of TSD's direct link to High Speed Credit Card Processing through Global Payment Systems. “Batching is so easy. I used to have to separately batch and report our 13 different stores and then total everything by hand. This was especially difficult working in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Now I hit one button and everything is totaled and I know everything I need to know on one screen. Again, we've reduced errors and costs by automating... I love everything about TSD RENTAL and TSD Sales and Support staff. We are finally doing things more efficiently!”

Data Security, Backups and Monitoring 24x7x365
In the summer of 2007, Able Rent a Car faced an unsettling break in at their offices. “I came into work one morning, and saw that our computer had been stolen. Had we stored our database on the computer, it could have been devastating. We would have had enough customer information such as name, address, credit card numbers and driver's license numbers in there for anyone's identity to be stolen along with all the information on our fleet. Because our data base is handled by TSD, there is no data on our local computer. We had everything backed up and secured through TSD, so all we had to do was buy a new computer, make one call to TSD's support to access our database on the new computer and we were in business again.”

“I love everything about TSD RENTAL and TSD Sales and Support staff. We are finally doing things more efficiently!”
