Rental-specific AI embedded in OnRent Go. Designed to improve operational performance, utilization and visibility.
Back to the news
CARY, NC, June 2026 – OnRent Go, Klipboard's cloud-native rental management platform, is introducing embedded AI built specifically for the equipment rental industry. Klipboard AI within OnRent Go helps rental businesses improve asset visibility, increase equipment availability, respond faster to customers and make better operational decisions using live rental data already stored within the platform.
Unlike generic AI tools, OnRent Go's AI capabilities are purpose-built for equipment rental workflows. Teams can ask questions in plain language about equipment availability, utilization, contracts, customers and operations, receiving immediate answers from live business data without running reports, navigating multiple screens or manually compiling information.
Klipboard AI can also perform actions like raising orders and invoices, scheduling equipment rentals and sending documents or contracts. It will be embedded into other Klipboard OnRent solutions soon.
Rental businesses are under growing pressure to maximize equipment utilization, improve responsiveness and maintain visibility across increasingly complex operations. For many businesses across construction rental, the challenge is not a lack of data – it's getting to the right information quickly enough to act on it.
Across rental operations, time is often lost checking asset availability, reviewing utilization and returns, confirming contract details and coordinating activity between the rental desk, yard and operations teams. While each task may only take a few minutes, repeated throughout the day they create operational friction that impacts utilization, responsiveness and customer service.
Rather than treating AI as a standalone technology or future concept, Klipboard AI is designed to support everyday rental workflows by reducing manual effort, improving visibility and helping teams respond more quickly.
Specifically, it helps teams:
DJ Jones, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Klipboard, said:
"The rental sector operates in fast-moving environments where visibility and responsiveness have a direct operational impact. We believe AI becomes genuinely valuable when it's embedded directly into the workflows teams already use every day – helping them access information faster, reduce delays and improve utilization without adding complexity.
The most effective use of AI in rental is not to replace operational expertise, but to support experienced teams with faster access to information and clearer operational visibility."
As equipment availability, responsiveness and operational efficiency continue to define competitiveness across the rental sector, embedded AI is playing an increasing role in helping businesses run more efficiently and stay on top of day-to-day operations.
AI capabilities are expanding across Klipboard's software portfolio, bringing practical AI support directly into the workflows used by automotive, rental and distribution businesses. Rather than serving as a standalone tool, Klipboard AI lets teams ask questions, get answers and take action using live operational data already inside the systems they use every day.
