Sales and Partnerships Intern

About us

Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. Founded in 1998, we now have 100 employees.
