Introducing The Ardent Plant Hire App

Introducing the Ardent plant hire app
Ardent Hire Solutions are delighted to launch a brand-new app designed to make life easier than ever for plant hire customers. The app includes a wide range of features designed around the plant hire lifecycle. Each step on the Ardent app will help to increase productivity, cut costs and reduce the risks to workers on site. Overall, it will make a big difference to the way you operate and monitor your contract plant hire UK, yet it is free to download and free to use.

With you at every step
Ardent have always worked hard to provide the highest levels of customer service, from first contact with one of our 11 depots across the UK, through your choice of hire from our £200million fleet, to off hire and beyond. The new Ardent app puts all of this service and support in the palm of your hand. It has an intuitive interface that is so simple to use that it  will quickly become your default way of managing your equipment from one of the UK’s leading plant hire companies.

What does the plant hire app do?
We know that site managers and foremen are incredibly busy, so we’ve designed the Ardent app to enable users to deal with a range of everyday plant hire tasks without having to return to the site office. With the Ardent app, you can:

• Perform daily checks on all contract plant hire uk
• Report breakdowns
• Track orders, deliveries and collections
• Manage invoices and accounts
• View LOLER Certificates
• Download machine manuals and technical specifications
• Complete Familiarisation 
• View certificates of familiarisation completion

Easy familiarisations

The Ardent app not only helps managers and foremen, but also provides key information for operators. Users can directly access Support material for each piece of equipment. This allows users to access familiarisations quickly and easily without leaving the site, improving safety and performance and increasing productivity. The app also works with QR codes, placed clearly on each piece of equipment, providing links to the Ardent TV Site portal.

The same QR codes can also be used to view useful one-minute, multi-language instructional videos designed to help operators to fix common problems without waiting for field service support. This significantly cuts downtime on site, getting your team back to work without any unnecessary delays.
