Rent
Renting equipment out by the day.
What it does
- Create an order with a date range and delivery details, then confirm, hand over, extend, swap a unit, take it back and close it.
- Deposits and rent are collected along the way, with a calendar view of what is out.
Step-by-step
- Create a rent order — Book equipment out to a customer.
- Confirm a rent order — Commit the booking and reserve the units.
- Hand over rented items — Give the equipment to the customer.
- Extend a rental — Let the customer keep it longer.
- Take a rental back — Book the equipment back in.
- Check what is free — Before you promise a customer anything, see what is actually free for their dates.
- See bookings on a calendar — The month at a glance: what goes out, what comes back, what is late.
- Set what an item rents for — Rates by duration, so a week is not just seven times a day.
- Rent out accessories with an item — Cases, cables, stands and anything else that goes out with the main item.
- Add insurance to a booking — Cover on an item, with terms the customer agrees to.
- Swap a faulty unit — The customer has a dud — give them another without redoing the booking.
- Understand a rent order’s money — Rent, deposit, delivery and insurance are different kinds of money, and the panel keeps them apart.
- Find a rent order — By customer, by status, or by the window it covers.
- Print a rental invoice — Give the customer the paperwork for the hire.
- Share a rental order — Send the customer their booking details.
- Delete a rent order — Remove a booking raised in error.
- Cancel a rent order — Call off a booking.
