Equipment rental near each site
Equipment rental yards near each site.
What it does
For each site in your table: equipment rental agencies within 10 km, the best-rated first, so site managers rent close and save on transport.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, take your table, find equipment rental agencies and construction equipment suppliers nearby, remove duplicates, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Transporting machines is costly. Renting close cuts it.

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 45 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 1 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
