A national electrical contractor struggling with tool budget on a Virginia data center project partnered with United Rentals to implement a lean, data-driven tool management system. By optimizing inventory, reducing tool loss, and providing detailed expense tracking, United Rentals helped the contractor save on rental costs, improve efficiency, and secure future business opportunities.

The electrical contractor exceeded its tool budget on a large data center construction project by overstocking tools based on peak job needs, leaving many tools idle and incurring unnecessary costs.

A 28% savings on the original rental tool budget (equating to $64,500), a 43% reduction in total tool billing compared to purchasing tools outright, tool loss kept well under 5% (significantly below industry average), and improved jobsite efficiency that helped the contractor stay on budget and ahead of schedule.
