PRG's New Jersey, Orlando and Las Vegas offices will serve as the company's regional equipment depots. Other PRG offices will continue to maintain local inventories but will draw on the extensive additional stock in the depots when needed. Portions of the inventory at PRG's Atlanta location have recently been transferred to PRG's Orlando depot, and the inventory at PRG's Newbury Park location has been consolidated with the company's inventories in Las Vegas and Burbank. PRG's sales and account management teams in Atlanta and Newbury Park will not be affected by these changes.
PRG manages its inventory in a hub and spoke system through the use of TEAM, a management software system developed internally by PRG. TEAM enables PRG's asset managers to instantaneously locate any item in PRG's $250 million inventory of rental equipment and quickly route it to where it is most needed.
As part of the restructuring, several staff promotions were announced. Bill Campbell, formerly the general manager of PRG's lighting operation in Atlanta, will become general manager of PRG's lighting operation in Las Vegas. Cathy Gilligan, formerly the asset manager for the Atlanta office, will become the asset manager for the Las Vegas office. Erin Byrnes, formerly the asset manager in Las Vegas, will assume a national asset management responsibility at PRG. David Patton, formerly general manager of PRG's Las Vegas lighting operation, will become the company's national director of lighting operations.
