Today’s technology companies are developing newer and better products, and achieving technological breakthroughs faster than any period in human history. At the same time, as world markets open up to all companies, the process of bringing new ideas and products to the marketplace before the competition remains the greatest challenge to innovative businesses. Marketing these new and often costly products demands a significant investment in resources and strategies that bear heavily on a company’s bottom line.

To present products to potential customers, companies often loan samples of their newest products to their business partners, distributors, and field representatives as this has proven to be a highly effective marketing tool. Demand for these loaner sample products increases as product lines and sales teams expand.

A variety of products such as power tools, electronic devices, laboratory equipment are loaned for demonstration, trials or trade shows – even the trade show booths and displays are handled by these loaner service departments.

Loaner systems are particularly important in the medical device field. The costs and complexity of new medical technologies coupled with shrinking hospital operating budgets places an unprecedented demand on loaner medical systems.

Loaner service departments have quickly become a highly specialized “company within a company”, typically representing over 50% of a company’s inventory dollars, while generating 20-75% of a company’s sales revenue, and doing so with a completely manual or inadequate Information Management system. LoanerTrak® and WebPortal software combined with a time-tested loaner handling process was developed to address these demands.
