Equipment Rental
Equipment hire,
simplified.
Manage tool rental, construction equipment, AV gear, camera hire, and party supplies from one system. Track assets, automate pricing, collect deposits, and let customers book online.
Everything you need to run an equipment hire business
From cataloguing your fleet to collecting payment on return — every step of the rental lifecycle is covered.
Equipment catalogue
Define every piece of equipment as a bookable resource with categories, serial numbers, and condition tracking. Organise by type — power tools, scaffolding, cameras, audio gear, marquees — and manage availability from one place.
Asset assignment & tracking
Assign specific units to each booking so you always know which items are out on hire, which have been returned, and which are in maintenance. No guesswork, no spreadsheets.
Date range bookings
Customers select a hire period with pick-up and return dates. The system checks availability in real time and prevents conflicts across overlapping bookings.
Tiered & duration pricing
Set daily, weekly, and monthly rates for every item. Volume discounts apply automatically for bulk hires, and pricing adjusts based on the rental duration selected.
Damage & deposit policies
Collect deposits upfront to protect against no-shows and damage. Apply damage charges on return with configurable penalty rules that flow directly into the final invoice.
Add-ons & accessories
Offer safety gear, consumables, delivery and collection services, or insurance as optional extras during the booking flow. Each add-on carries its own pricing.
Online booking widget
Embed a booking widget on your website so customers can browse available equipment, check dates, and book directly — without phone calls or emails. Works around the clock.
Automated invoicing
When a hire is completed, rental charges, deposits, damage fees, and add-ons flow into a draft invoice automatically. No manual data entry between your booking and billing systems.
