Point of Rental celebrates 40 years
On April 5, 2022, Point of Rental Software celebrates being in business for 40 years.
Founded in 1982 as part of Overland Rentals, Point of Rental was built by three former NASA engineers who wanted to start their own small general rental business. CEO Wayne Harris joined the organization in 1993 as the company’s head programmer, building the company’s first Windows-based software.
Since becoming CEO in 2011, Harris has overseen the company’s international expansion. The company has grown from its Fort Worth location to employ more than 300 Point of Rental employees, also known as Pointers, in six offices, serving more than 5,000 rental businesses throughout the world.
“Bob [Shaffer], Steve [Husbands] and Byron [White] built Point of Rental because we wanted to serve others and provide them with the best possible software,” says Harris. “As we celebrate 40 years, we’re still focused on that innovation; we just have a lot more people to work with. And that’s really exciting; we’re looking forward to another 40.”
The company will celebrate throughout April by conducting several charitable endeavors from each of its offices. Users and industry experts are encouraged to join the company in donating to their region’s fundraising efforts.
In addition, Point of Rental is also offering software deals throughout the month to prospective and current software users, including savings on conversions and additional apps. The company has also extended the early bird rate for would-be attendees of its International Conference in October.
