United Rentals has deployed a new Business Intelligence Agent built on Snowflake to support frontline teams across more than 1,600 branches with faster, data-driven decision-making. The AI-powered agent allows branch managers, sales leaders and regional teams to query financial and operational data in natural language and receive real-time, governed insights, improving speed, consistency and confidence in daily decisions.
The solution is built on Snowflake Intelligence and uses United Rentals’ unified, secure data foundation, ensuring answers are consistent, explainable and aligned with company-defined metrics and access controls. In parallel, United Rentals is using Snowflake Cortex Code to accelerate the development and testing of additional AI agents for use cases such as equipment health and telematics, shortening the path from prototype to production. The initiative highlights how large, geographically distributed industrial organizations can embed trusted AI directly into frontline operations.
