In a collaboration Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland and bimstore have introduced an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) app, redefining the way equipment is organised, seen, and handled directly from your phone.
This has resulted in a new tool that combines Sunbelt Rental’s commitment to creating exceptional customer experiences with bimstore's technical expertise, giving a unique customer planning experience.
A Game-Changer in Equipment Planning
The Sunbelt Rentals AR app leverages bimstore's comprehensive and continually updated model library, enabling users to place 3D models of equipment in their actual workspaces via their mobile devices. This app not only makes equipment planning precise and effortless but also significantly reduces the logistical costs and environmental impact.
The app's features include the ability to view realistic 3D models of equipment in situ, interact with these models for optimal placement, and access essential technical specifications with a simple tap. Eliminating guesswork in equipment planning and ensuring that the selected items fit perfectly in the intended space and meet project requirements.
Designed for Accessibility and Ease of Use
Sunbelt Rentals has made their AR app incredibly user-friendly and easy to use, even for these without technical background. It requires no expensive software or special tech skills to use, making advanced BIM technology accessible to everyone. This approach aligns with Sunbelt Rental’s mission to empower customers, making informed decisions easier and more efficient.
Additionally, the app allows for the real-time adjustment of BIM objects, offers environmental impact analyses with reach diagrams and safety zones, and provides a direct line for product enquiries.
Leading the way in digital transformation
This project is a big step forward for Sunbelt Rentals in their mission to make BIM technology available to everyone, provide unique solutions, and lead the way in digital change across different sectors. Working together with bimstore, who were key in creating and maintaining the app - this tool changes how temporary work assets are planned and managed, setting a new standard.
Our app simplifies the equipment rental process by enabling customers to virtually place and interact with 3D models of equipment in their actual workspace using just their phone. This approach removes the guesswork and reduces unnecessary costs and environmental impact, making project planning precise and effortless. We're committed to making the rental experience easier with user-friendly technology, ensuring that everyone, regardless of technical skill, can access advanced planning tools.
