What is Rouse Services?

Rouse provides fleet appraisals, used machinery sales values, and rental company commercial insights for customers throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and Japan. Since 2000, Rouse has been building a legacy of deep expertise, unrivaled data precision, and unparalleled customer service. Dedicated to delivering timely equipment valuation metrics with accuracy and reliability, Rouse helps companies across the globe manage and efficiently disperse their equipment. With products such as Rouse Fleet Manager, Rouse Equipment Insights, Rouse Rental Insights and more, Rouse redefines the standards and service for appraisals, sales and marketing, and analytics.

The Rouse mission has always been to deliver accurate, actionable industry insights to help equipment owners make informed decisions about pricing strategies and fleet deployment. Rouse Rental Insights (formerly Rouse Analytics) was working with five companies in 2011, and today that has grown to over 400 across the globe. The industry data Rouse receives via these companies is then analyzed and transformed to deliver meaningful insights that help equipment owners and hire companies make decisions on which assets to purchase when, and how to deploy them, as well as to understand their sales performance.

How does Rouse gather and use data?

One of Rouse’s primary areas of focus is showing customers how to make their own data intelligible and actionable.

Rouse Rental Insights allows companies to measure their own performance against self-determined pricing and utilisation strategies. By testing and learning from their own pricing and fleet management efforts, customers can optimise fleet decisions, clearly define the focus and performance of sales representatives, and better understand market supply and demand.

A couple elements of data gathering and analysis that cannot be overlooked – and which Rouse takes very seriously – is compliance, accuracy, and trust. Rouse intakes, cleanses, standardizes, aggregates, anonymises and transforms data so that no single participant is identifiable in the Rental Insights product, and a minimum number of contributors in a market and asset class are needed before any rental metrics will be released. In short, metrics are based on anonymized participant data that are aggregated, weight-adjusted and time-lagged. 

Why do fleet owners use Rouse Services?

The lifecycle for a piece of equipment begins when the asset is first acquired and lasts until its eventual retirement. Equipment lifecycle management covers this end-to-end cycle with processes and tools to help equipment owners maximise the return on investment of their fleet.

• Planning & Deployment – The Rouse Fleet Manager is a self-serve platform that centralises fleet operations into a single, accessible place. Equipment owners can store photos, upload files and purchase orders, as well see basic equipment insights to help plan or sell machinery when it’s time to dispose.
• Utilisation – Rouse Rental Insights provides equipment hire companies with aggregated, weight-adjusted and time-lagged industry benchmark, including metrics around sales performance in their local market to help support independent and unilateral strategic business decision making.
• Disposition – Rouse Fleet Manager with the Rouse Equipment Insights upgrade gives customers access to precise machine-specific equipment values to help equipment owners buy, sell and plan.
