Bond Consulting Services (BCS) has partnered with RUX Software to deliver equipment rental and asset management capabilities for small and mid-sized businesses running on or moving to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The Problem: When Financial Systems Can’t Support Operational Complexity in Asset-Intensive Organizations
Many growing organizations reach a point where their financial system works, but their operations don’t.
Inventory visibility improves. Reporting gets faster. Multi-location accounting becomes manageable. But rental cycles, equipment utilization, maintenance schedules, and field service workflows still live outside the system.
That’s because most ERP platforms are designed to manage financial transactions, not the operational realities of equipment-driven businesses.
Whether a company is transitioning from entry-level accounting software, legacy ERPs, or heavily customized systems, the underlying issue is the same: rental, asset, and service workflows require purpose-built functionality.
ERP Financials Are Only Half the Equation
Business Central delivers the core financial and operational platform most businesses share accounting, inventory, multi-entity operations, security, and AI.
But for businesses that rely on equipment to generate revenue, financials alone aren’t enough.
If your operations include:
- Equipment rentals with flexible billing structures
- Preventive maintenance and service scheduling
- Field technicians and mobile work orders
- Serialized assets across job sites
- Utilization, downtime, and profitability tracking
…those workflows require purpose-built capabilities beyond standard ERP core functionality.
Without them, teams often rely on spreadsheets, disconnected systems, or heavy customization—introducing risk, manual work, and long-term maintenance overhead.
Purpose-Built Rental and Asset Management on Business Central
RUX develops industry-specific applications built natively on Business Central, designed for equipment-intensive businesses where rentals, service, and asset tracking are central to daily operations.
RUX applications support:
- Rental Management – Rate structures, contracts, equipment availability, automated billing, asset lifecycle tracking, maintenance history, utilization, and depreciation
- Field Service – Work orders, dispatch scheduling, mobile technicians, time and parts tracking, preventive maintenance, warranties, and service contract billing
Because these capabilities are built directly into Business Central:
- Financials and operations stay synchronized
- Inventory, customer data, and service activity live in one system
- Reporting reflects what’s actually happening in the field
This delivers an asset management ERP and equipment rental software experience without bolt-ons or fragmented data.
