Equipment rental platform serving construction, infrastructure, and DIY markets across Australia and New Zealand
Kennards Hire operates a 200+ site equipment rental network across Australia and New Zealand with a tech stack anchored in Salesforce, Power BI, and cloud data infrastructure (Azure, dbt, Fivetran). Active hiring in sales and data roles, combined with projects around enterprise reporting, data governance, and BI scaling, points to a business working through multi-site operational complexity—coordinating inventory, pricing, and customer relationships across fragmented regional operations. The compliance and governance workload suggests they're maturing internal processes to support larger infrastructure customers.
Kennards Hire is an Australian family-owned equipment rental business founded in 1948, operating over 200 branches across Australia and New Zealand. They serve three customer segments—DIY, trade, and large construction projects—with inventory ranging from general tools to specialist heavy machinery and civil infrastructure equipment. The company introduced QR code tracking on equipment and mobile-optimized site finding as customer-facing innovations. Operationally, they're a mid-sized private company with 1,001–5,000 employees, headquartered in Seven Hills, NSW, managing complex multi-site logistics, supply partnerships, and large account relationships with tier-1 construction and renewable energy clients.
