Recap from The 2021 ARA Show

After nearly two years of working from home and attending conferences and events virtually, the Volaris Rental Management team was eager to attend The ARA Show in Las Vegas this past October.

Las Vegas, Nevada - October 2021

The team had a great time networking with first-time attendees and learning about new technology in rental management. They gained insights on how businesses are continuing to overcome challenges brought on by the pandemic and learned about key trends in the industry. In addition, the team was proud to have four businesses in our rental management portfolio exhibiting at the event:

Wynne Systems - An equipment rental and tool tracking software who has been with Volaris for over 10 years. At ARA, our team was able to meet with numerous power users of Wynne Systems who shared decades of experience with the platform.

“After nearly 18 months of virtual events, you could feel the excitement from everyone within the industry to be back. While we’ve been able to support our clients virtually throughout the pandemic, admittedly there is nothing that can replace face-to-face dialogue. And being able to reconnect with colleagues from within Volaris’ Rental Management portfolio was phenomenal.” - Tran Ly, General Manager, Wynne Systems.

IT

InTempo - A provider of software for independent equipment, tool, party, event and specialty rental businesses. This organization was established in 2015 as a result of the tremendous growth of Wynne Systems.

“It was fantastic to get to see everyone face-to-face after so long,” said Matt Hopp, General Manager of InTempo Software. “The ARA Show has historically been one of our best opportunities to talk with customers, prospects, and other companies in the rental space, and this year was no different. We noticed that everyone who attended in 2021 was highly motivated to grow their business, which led to truly meaningful conversations – not just for Sales, but for Customer Care and Strategic Accounts as well. And, as always, getting to talk with other attendees from the Volaris Group gave us some excellent ideas for growth as we look to 2022.” - Matt Hopp, General Manager, InTempo.

Unique Business Systems (UBS) - Provider of business management software solutions for the heavy and light rental equipment community for over 30 years.

“ARA is exciting and a wonderful platform for meeting with customers and prospects alike. As with prior years, there was keen interest in our business tools and we had the pleasure of getting important feedback and sharing ideas on new benefits with regards to the R2 software suite. It is always delightful to meet, in-person, members of our R2 customer family and soak in all the valuable insight they bring to us. Sharing their passion for excellence is what drives every R2 team member to continually better our services and business tools.” – Vic Khosla, Vice President, Business Development & Strategic Alliances, Unique Business Systems.

Curbstone - A payment processing technology business that joined Volaris Group in 2020. As a first time ARA attendee, the representatives at Curbstone were excited to meet with customers and learn from industry expert sessions at the event.

Russell Gilmer, Director of Sales at Curbstone shares, “As a first-time attendee, it was a great opportunity to meet with long-time members of the rental industry, as well as prospective business partners and other companies within the Volaris portfolio. The connections we made will help us continue to grow our product and customer base, and we look forward to the next time we all get to meet face-to-face.”

As part of Volaris Group, businesses not only get to network with the companies in our portfolio but are also encouraged to attend industry events to stay on top of best practices and trends in the industry. This helps us foster a continuous environment of learning and collaboration among our leaders. By accessing this knowledge, our businesses are able to continue being market leaders in their industries.
