Filed under: Industry News, SBC Systems

Next week I’ll be north of the border at the Rental Mart, where I’m sure there will be plenty of buzz about Canada’s Olympic victory on the ice — what a great game. If you want to talk hockey or rental management systems, stop by Booth #304 and see Enfinity’s latest software release in action. I also want to give a shout-out to Andy Paquette, a long-time SBC customer (Bravo Rentals) and current Canadian Rental Association president. I got a kick out of reading about Andy’s “Adirondack chair challenge” in Moncton!
