11 Decisions. Zero Models. Some Cost $40,000.
Your equipment manager made 11 own-vs-rent decisions last year without a single financial model. Some were right. Some cost you $40,000. Do you know which is which? POD calculates the breakeven on every asset — before the next decision gets made on gut feel.
Try the Own vs Rent Calculator
Drag the sliders. Watch the breakeven month move. This is what every equipment decision should start with.
At 45% utilization, breakeven hits at month 21. You have been renting for 22 months — that is 1 months past the crossover. You have paid $92,400 for a machine worth $88,000.
Own What Works. Rent What Doesn't.
POD classifies every asset: high utilization means own it, low means rent it, middle means review it.

Breakeven month calculated per asset using real utilization and cost data

The exact month at which owning becomes cheaper than renting — updated every time new utilization data arrives.
Net-Negative Asset Flags
Owned assets with ROI below zero are surfaced automatically. No more carrying dead weight on your balance sheet.
Utilization-Adjusted Modeling
A machine used 70% of the time has a completely different breakeven profile than one used 30%. POD adjusts the math automatically.
Fleet Split Dashboard
At a glance: which owned assets are generating positive ROI (green), which are questionable (amber), and which should be rented instead (red).
