All 42 Documented Cases
उपकरण उपयोग दृश्यता की कमी और सूची असंतुलन (Equipment Utilization Blindness & Inventory Discrepancy)
₹10-25 lakhs/annum in lost rental revenue (5-10% capacity utilization loss); 50-100 hours/month manual reconciliation; 15-30% increase in equipment idle time costWithout real-time equipment tracking, rental managers cannot see which cameras, lights, or sound equipment are on-rent, returned, or in repair. This creates capacity bottlenecks: customers wait for availability confirmation (30 mins - 2 hours), rentals are lost to competitors offering instant booking, and idle equipment is not identified for alternative rental use.

उपकरण क्षमता योजना और पूंजीगत व्यय निर्णय में दृश्यता की कमी (Fleet Capacity Planning Blindness & CapEx Decisions)
₹30-80 lakhs/annum in suboptimal fleet composition and idle capacity cost; 15-25% of fleet capital tied up in slow-moving equipment; 20-40 hours/month in manual fleet planningWithout utilization dashboards, companies cannot identify equipment performance. They may own high-cost cinema cameras used only 5 days/month (underutilized) while missing demand for popular LED lights (overstocked wait lists). Poor visibility leads to excess inventory carrying costs and missed margin opportunities.
