The reservations calendar shows what's promised, what's on rent, and what's free — and it refuses a booking past real availability, because a promise the fleet can't keep costs more than a lost rental.
When the customer shows up, the reservation becomes the contract: deposits collect at check-out, serialized units are claimed so the same machine can't go out twice, and the paperwork prints with your logo.
Offer a damage waiver at check-out at the rate you set; accepting it snapshots the rate onto the contract and bills it with the rental, to its own income account so waiver revenue reports separately.
Sell packages: a welding package rents as one priced line while the welder, leads, helmet, and cart each get their own tracked line — so every piece checks out, returns, and gets inspected individually.
When a customer needs gear you don't own, sub-rent it: mark the line with the vendor and their cost, raise the vendor purchase order in one click, and see the margin on the contract. The vendor's unit never touches your fleet counts.
Returns are per piece: mark condition, note damage, and charge for negligence — the waiver banner reminds the counter what's covered. Early returns re-price the contract to actual days.
One click generates the invoice: rental charges, damage, waiver, and the deposit applied — capped at the charges, with any remainder refunded through a flow that posts every dollar to the ledger.
Every unit carries an hour meter, a home base, and a service clock; returns nudge due units into the shop flow, and preventive-maintenance agreements generate the work order on schedule — with the agreed per-visit fee already on it.
The fleet ROI report puts numbers on the yard: days out, utilization, revenue against acquisition cost, maintenance cost from the shop, and dollar utilization per unit — so replace-or-keep decisions run on data.
A 30-minute walkthrough on your workflows — no obligation, no setup fee.
One system of record for industrial distributors, repair shops, rental companies, and gas suppliers.
