Tired of drowning in paperwork? Imagine a world where equipment documentation manages itself, freeing up your team to focus on what matters most: your customers and your business. That’s the promise of Piko, and we brought that promise to life at the ARA Show 2025.

The ARA Show 2025 brought together the best and brightest of the equipment rental industry, and for Piko, it was a pivotal moment: our U.S. debut. We were excited to showcase our AI-powered document management solution, and the response was incredible. Attendees immediately recognized the potential to transform their document workflows.

Walking the floor at the ARA Show 2025, we felt a real sense of excitement. This was our first time bringing Piko to the U.S. market, and the validation from attendees was truly energizing.

While we knew there were some differences in how document management is handled across the Atlantic, the core challenge—the need for efficiency and automation—was clearly shared by everyone we spoke with. Whether it was a small, independent rental company or a large, multi-national corporation, the pain points were remarkably consistent.

The ARA Show gave us the chance to connect with everyone from software developers looking for integration partners to rental business owners eager to streamline their operations. The sheer diversity of attendees was fantastic, and it allowed us to get a comprehensive view of the market’s needs.

The discussions were incredibly productive, and we see huge potential for collaboration. We spoke with rental companies about the day-to-day struggles of managing mountains of paperwork, and we talked with software providers about how Piko could seamlessly integrate into their existing platforms to offer a complete solution.

The conversations with software companies were particularly exciting. They immediately saw the value of integrating Piko into their existing platforms, recognizing the benefit for their rental business clients. They understood that by partnering with Piko, they could offer their clients a truly best-in-class document management solution without requiring them to switch to a completely new system.

Our integration-first approach is central to Piko’s design. We understand that rental businesses rely on a variety of software solutions, and we want to seamlessly integrate with those existing systems, not replace them. We believe this is the key to widespread adoption and maximizing the positive impact we can have on the industry.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. We heard words like “game-changer” and “small revolution”—rental businesses and software providers alike recognized the potential for Piko to dramatically reduce document processing time and free up valuable resources. It was incredibly rewarding to hear firsthand how Piko could directly address the document management challenges that keep rental businesses up at night.

At the ARA Show, we demonstrated how Piko’s open API architecture simplifies integration with existing rental management software. We showed attendees how easy it is to connect Piko to their current systems. We had productive conversations with numerous software providers about potential partnerships, and the response was incredibly encouraging. They see the potential for Piko to add significant value to their offerings. Attendees appreciated that Piko integrates seamlessly with their existing systems, minimizing disruption and maximizing efficiency. They recognized that Piko is a solution that enhances, not replaces, their current workflows.

The ARA Show 2025 was a resounding success for Piko, validating our vision for the future of document management in the rental industry. We are excited about the connections we made and the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue to expand in the U.S. market. We are committed to helping rental businesses streamline their operations and unlock the full potential of their human resources.
