Leave a broad ERP only when the yard no longer needs one.
Baseplan joins rentals with service, parts, transport, CRM, financials, and multi-site operations. EquipFlow is intentionally narrower and keeps QuickBooks Online as the accounting system. Switching is reasonable only when that broader ERP surface is not part of the future operating model.

Published pricing
The official equipment-rental page reviewed routes buyers to a demo and does not display a dollar price. Buyers should scope modules, sites, implementation, integrations, and commercial terms directly with Baseplan.

Strongest fit
Baseplan is positioned for equipment businesses operating from several sites and needing a broad ERP that joins rentals, service, finance, reporting, and branch-level asset control.

Buyer implication
A broad multi-site ERP can be the right system of record for a growing group; EquipFlow is intentionally narrower and should not be treated as a substitute for those enterprise financial and branch workflows.

Migration evidence
Baseplan's public knowledge hub documents customer and vendor export to Excel or CSV along with broader report-export tools. Those files can start discovery; rates, open work, service, financials, attachments, and custom reports remain field-level scope questions.

Questions to settle before a migration project exists.
- 1
Which Baseplan rental, service, parts, transport, CRM, and financial modules are active?
- 2
Which sites, branches, integrated accounts, and custom reports must remain operational?
- 3
Which Excel, CSV, or report exports are available for discovery?
- 4
Which rates, open work, service records, attachments, and financial history require written scope?
The narrower case has to be specific.
- One location without a need for an integrated equipment-business ERP.
- QuickBooks Online retained for accounting rather than replaced.
- Rental operations centered on individually tracked heavy equipment.
- A deliberate cutover where catalog and customer history are included and every other data class is verified.
Published EquipFlow price
$749 per yard per month, or $7,200 paid upfront annually.
Unlimited seats, $0 setup, and guided catalog and customer-history import. No unapproved tier, trial, or migration package is implied.
Scope the records before promising the timeline.
EquipFlow does not claim a universal connector, seven-day conversion, or automatic financial-history migration from Baseplan.
Inventory the current system.
List the products, modules, integrations, branches, custom fields, reports, rate structures, open work, and financial records the team actually uses. A vendor name is not a migration specification.
Review the available exports.
Bring representative files into discovery. Catalog and customer-history import are included, while rates, sites, open work, service history, attachments, and financial records remain conditional until the fields and current importer are verified.
Test representative records.
Use a sandbox to test an ordinary rental and the messy cases: customer-specific rates, extensions, swaps, partial returns, inspections, service holds, invoice review, credits, and accounting handoff.
Parallel run and retain an archive.
Run both systems long enough for the yard team to verify the new operating path. Keep a final source-system export for tax, audit, collections, and any historical detail outside the live conversion scope.
What to ask before leaving Baseplan.
The answers below describe EquipFlow's current boundary. Put vendor-specific exports, integrations, and commercial terms into the written evaluation scope.
“When should Baseplan remain the system?”
Keep the current system when the workflows outside EquipFlow's documented boundary are still requirements. Write those requirements down, test representative work in both systems, and compare the complete commercial proposal before deciding.
“What data import is included with EquipFlow?”
Guided equipment-catalog and customer-history import are included with a $0 setup fee. The source files and representative records are reviewed before cutover rather than treated as a universal one-click migration.
“Will open rentals, invoices, payments, or A/R migrate?”
There is no blanket promise. Open work and financial records depend on the source export and the current importer. Keep a final source-system archive and put any required live conversion into the written migration scope.
“Can the yard run both systems before cutover?”
Yes. Representative records and core workflows are verified in a sandbox and the systems can run in parallel. The yard team chooses the cutover point after the reviewed scope works in practice.
“Does EquipFlow replace an accounting ERP?”
No. EquipFlow handles rental operations and billing, with an optional mapped handoff to QuickBooks Online. It is not a general ledger, procurement ERP, or replacement for every financial workflow in a broader platform.
