History
When Point of Rental's three original founders started their rental store in 1982, they tried the rental software available at the time and found that none of them seemed to be designed by people who ran rental stores. They put their skills together and produced their first software in 1983. By 1984, they felt they'd created a product that would benefit others in the rental industry and began to sell their software, using the name Point-of-Rental Systems.
Gradually, as salesman Steve Husbands traveled throughout the United States, other rental stores signed on with Point of Rental. Early maps of Point of Rental's customer base provided evidence of his travels - pins were found along his routes.
A few years later, Husbands traveled through Ada, Oklahoma, and sold a system to the Harris family - the sale would prove to be more valuable than most as the Harris's son, Wayne, went on to program Rental Enterprise and eventually became the company's President and CEO.
