Software built for the way welding, repair, and rental businesses actually run.

Most accounting packages weren’t designed for cylinders on hire, work orders pulling parts from stock, or assets that rent by the hour. F7 is. Every module below posts to the same double-entry ledger, so operations and the books never drift apart.

01 — Welding & Industrial Gas Suppliers

Every cylinder accounted for — and billed.

You may have thousands of cylinders in the field. The money leaks when they aren’t billed, aren’t returned, or aren’t traced back to a fill. F7 tracks the whole fleet and turns it into recurring revenue automatically.

The problem. Balance sheets that don’t match what’s on trucks and at customer sites; demurrage that never gets invoiced; gas lots you can’t trace when a certificate of analysis is requested.

How F7 handles it. Choose serial tracking or a per-customer balance model. Every rental billing type is built in — daily rental, monthly recurring, lease agreements with committed counts and overage billing, and demurrage — with promo rates and proration handled automatically, billed in a one-click run on any day of the month. A pre-flight “attention” report catches blank ship/returns, un-localized customers, and gas types billed with no account before you ever run billing.

02 — Welder & Machine Repair Shops

Intake to invoice, without the double entry.

A repair job touches diagnostics, parts, labor, warranty, and billing. F7 keeps it on a single work order so nothing is re-keyed and nothing walks out the door uncosted.

The problem. Parts pulled from the shelf but never added to the ticket; jobs invoiced without their true cost; a separate spreadsheet for what’s on order.

How F7 handles it. Check the machine in at any location and custody follows it door-to-door. Repair quotes go out by email and get approved before parts are ordered; warranty work bills the provider and the customer on the same work order, reimbursed via provider invoice or vendor credit. Parts come out of stock like a sales order — short lines flag backordered with one-click purchase orders by vendor — and when you invoice, revenue, sales tax, and cost of goods sold all post to the general ledger, so gross margin per job is real, not estimated.

03 — Equipment & Tool Rental Companies

Rent by the hour, day, week, month — or lease.

Your assets earn only when they’re out and billed correctly. F7 prices each asset by the tier the customer chose and accrues the revenue for you.

The problem. Rate math done by hand; missed recurring charges; no clear picture of what’s on rent, overdue, or sitting idle; damaged returns that never become a repair bill.

How F7 handles it. Mark an item rentable and set hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and lease rates. Agreements bill on a recurring engine with proration and promos handled automatically. Get it there and back with delivery trucks, GPS-routed stops, and a driver app — and turn a damaged return straight into a repair work order.

Sell, rent, and repair — on one system of record.

Most shops that do more than one of these run more than one system, then reconcile by hand at month-end. F7 puts sales, purchasing, inventory, rental, repair, and cylinders on a single ledger.

The problem. A POS here, a rental spreadsheet there, a separate accounting app for the books — and no single number anyone trusts.

How F7 handles it. One platform, one chart of accounts, one source of truth. Every transaction — a counter sale, a cylinder rental, a repair invoice, a vendor bill — posts to the same general ledger, so your financial statements are always current and always reconcile.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot.

Is F7 a real double-entry accounting system?

Yes. F7 is built on a true double-entry general ledger — chart of accounts, journal entries, fiscal periods, bank reconciliation, and financial statements. The operational modules (rental, repair, cylinders, inventory) post to that ledger, rather than accounting being bolted on afterward.

Can it bill gas cylinder rental and demurrage automatically?

Yes. F7 supports serial-level and per-customer balance cylinder models, lease commitments with monthly or daily overage, and a recurring billing engine that can run on any day of the month.

Do repair parts come out of inventory?

Yes. Parts on a work order are relieved from stock like a sales order, with backorder detection and one-click purchase orders grouped by vendor. Invoicing posts revenue, tax, and cost of goods sold to the ledger.

What rental rate structures are supported?

Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and lease tiers per asset, with automated recurring billing, proration, and promotional rates.

Can one company run multiple locations or businesses?

Yes. F7 is multi-warehouse and multi-company, with per-location inventory, time zones, and role-based dashboards, all under one login.

Is there a customer portal?

Yes. Customers can place orders online, view cylinder balances and repair status, view invoices and statements, and download safety data sheets.
