Introduction
Starting your own business is exciting but challenging. You don’t always have the capital to purchase assets and this is where the story of Ultimate Hire begins.
In 2013, I took the plunge and started my own business. I didn’t have the capital to purchase all the assets I needed to start. Online shopping was in its infancy and there weren’t many businesses that recognized the value of having an online presence, which made it challenging to source the products and services I needed at the time.
Increasingly over the past seven years, whether I was on holiday or doing renovations to my house, it has been frustrating getting hire equipment as it was often already booked out and not available in a short time frame or on a whim. The current hire market certainly wasn’t catering to my needs in terms of variety either.
What came out of that frustration was an idea to create a platform where you could just about hire anything and everything, all done online from the comfort of your own home.
Making hiring easy
We quickly recognised that there was a demand for a better and more efficient way to hire products throughout New Zealand.
With an increased focus on utilizing resources available rather than spending money on assets that may only be used every once in a while. The idea to have a centralized web-based platform that everyone can use for hiring, renting, and lending items was quickly formed.
Those looking for a side hustle would be able to hire out their gear and increase the utilisation of assets around their own homes and businesses. You also avoid those awkward conversations that we’ve all had when it comes to lending gear out and having to ask for it back or not knowing when it will come back. Then there’s the conversation about some kind of reimbursement for the use of that item. With bookings and payments all made through the secure online payment system you never have to worry.
The platform also utilizes geolocation services to show you the closest products and an availability calendar to show you when it's available. You can secure it in just a few clicks and know it will be ready to go when you arrive for pick up.
