Today’s Daily Grind reviewed successful supplier partnerships and featured Alex DiPetro, Strategic Portfolio Representative from Herc Rentals! With 280 locations nationwide, Herc Rentals provides rental solutions.
“As the Covid-19 crisis began to unfold Herc Rentals, always a safety-conscious organization, reacted quickly to the new environment,” explained DiPetro. As a hybrid (retailer/supplier) organization, Herc employees who were able to work from home (about half the staff) did so and the in-store employees were provided the latest COVID-19 information and best practices from local governments and the CDC.
“Daily updates are continually sent to each store to ensure both employees and customers are in a safe environment. This same tenacity was also implemented when reaching out to Herc customers to ensure they have access to as much information and services as possible as the outbreak has expanded.”
This included providing generators, portable cooling units, lighting, and air-quality control for a variety of critical control facilities across the country.
Herc believes air quality control will become even more important as facilities move into the warmer months. “It won’t be long before we are in the middle of summer, so FMs need to ensure their HVAC system is operating properly and ready to go when stores re-open,” concluded DiPetro.
