Your next customer is already building nearby.
Permit and Contractor Prospecting finds local contractors and active construction projects near every branch, scores them against the equipment you rent, and turns the best ones into customers in one click.
Prospecting shouldn't mean driving to job sites and digging through permit filings.
Most rental teams find new work the hard way: driving past job sites, searching county permit records, and keeping lists in spreadsheets nobody updates. Even when you find a good lead, it lives outside your rental software, so there's no history, no follow-up, and no easy way to tell if they're already a customer.
Find. Score. Convert.

Every month, Renterra pulls local contractors and businesses near each of your branches. Twice a month, it adds active construction permits filed nearby.

Compare plans →Frequently asked questions
How often do new leads show up?
Prospects refresh on the 1st of every month. Permits refresh on the 1st and 15th. Not every area will have new permits every cycle.
Where does the contact information come from?
Public filings. Permit leads include the permit holder, contractor, and project contacts when they're listed.
How is the fit score calculated?
Renterra compares each lead's business to the equipment you rent and considers how long they've been operating. For permits, bigger, longer, and closer projects score higher. Open the tip on any lead to see the reasoning.
How is the rental estimate calculated?
Renterra uses the permit's project description to estimate what equipment the job needs, then matches it to your inventory and averages your own rates.
Will it create duplicate customers?
No. When you convert a lead, Renterra checks it against your existing customers first.
