AI agent for equipment rental: Project managers need excavators on site yesterday.

Frosty Agent acts as your digital rental desk. It checks live fleet availability, quotes daily or weekly rate cards, calculates heavy transport fees to the job site, and collects required insurance or license documents over WhatsApp. Every inquiry is organized for your dispatch team.

Why is your rental desk overwhelmed?

Dispatchers spend hours on the phone confirming availability instead of managing logistics

Pricing inquiries require manual cross-referencing of account discounts and delivery distances

Chasing customers for insurance certificates and signed rental agreements delays deployment

Unanswered after-hours requests mean the contractor rents from your competitor instead
