How to Boost Your Business with Equipment Rental, Operations Center

When Five Star Civil Construction, an Austin, Texas-based company that specializes in residential subdivisions, started out in January 2022, it had just five employees and faced a significant challenge: it needed to procure equipment in a way that fit the young business.

By partnering with RDO Equipment Co., Five Star found solutions to grow into what it is today — a dynamic business with over 130 employees. This partnership has provided them with state-of-the-art equipment and technology, along with top-notch service to ensure they are up and running at all times.

At their start, the Five Star team worked with RDO Sales Professional Laurie Bush to take advantage of Rental Purchase Options (RPOs), allowing them to initially rent equipment and apply the rental fees towards the purchase price of the machine.

Five Star has also found great benefits in using job site and equipment data from JDLink. The crew uses the John Deere Operations Center™ to monitor their equipment, track key metrics and ensure optimal utilization and efficiency. By using Operations Center daily, Five Star can make data-driven decisions and improve overall productivity.

With maintenance packages, machine warranties and support from a customer service advisor, Five Star Civil Construction keeps its equipment fleet in top shape and nimble to prevent unexpected downtime.
