About Baseplan

A story of revolution and evolution in the hire software industry.

Our story

In 1986, Andrew Ferry sparked a revolution. Amidst a rapidly changing technological landscape, he defied norms and established Baseplan. As a forward-thinking support manager in a software company, Andrew sensed the future promise of management and business intelligence software. Unwilling to be confined by the present, he saw the emergence of a transformative era.

Armed with computers less potent than today’s smartphones, Baseplan emerged from a home office. What began as a modest venture rapidly grew into the cornerstone of comprehensive ERP solutions, catering to the rental, fleet, dealership, and construction sectors. Today, it stands as a beacon of innovation, epitomised by the Baseplan system—a management marvel that redefines efficiency and propels profitability.

Baseplan’s boundless enthusiasm propels us to collaborate with top-tier enterprises, nurturing their growth and igniting their potential. Challenges invigorate us, and each day offers a canvas for crafting solutions that uplift our clients to greatness.

Our evolution has been profound. From a trailblazer in rental software, we’ve evolved into a comprehensive suite spanning construction equipment, transportation, and logistics. With our headquarters proudly in New South Wales, Australia, and a robust presence in Houston, Texas, our influence knows no bounds.

Amidst change, one thing remains constant—our commitment to empowering clients. We’re visionaries, achievers, and advocates of software’s ability to elevate businesses.

Join us in shaping a future where technology unleashes potential, rewrites narratives, and propels businesses to not only adapt but thrive.
