Streamline Your Equipment Hire Process with our Advanced Bookings Management Functionality!

We are thrilled to announce a game-changing addition to our equipment hire management software platform—a new bookings management functionality that takes your business operations to the next level. This highly anticipated feature not only enhances your booking process but also ensures a smooth and error-free experience, resulting in increased efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Preventing Double Bookings

Nothing screams unprofessionalism like double bookings. This can cause unnecessary hassle, disappointments, and lost business opportunities. With our cutting-edge software, say goodbye to double bookings forever. Our bookings management functionality detects conflicts in real time, providing immediate alerts if any equipment is already reserved for a selected date or time. This intelligent system acts as your virtual assistant, significantly reducing the chances of scheduling conflicts.

Take the following scenario, a customer calls you to say they need to hire a digger for the upcoming weekend, as you are on the phone to them you can go bring up their customer record and initiate a booking within seconds. When you add the digger to the booking the system automatically checks for any existing bookings and current hires to ensure you have the stock to fulfil the booking. When there isn’t enough stock you are notified immediately so you can inform the customer. If everything is OK you will get a confirmation symbol on the screen to let you know there are no conflicts.

This functionality also applies to our rental management website integration, when the customer makes the booking via your website, the system will check for any conflicts as it processes the booking, along with the notification it sends you it will flag the item as having conflicts. If conflicts exist, you can easily check who the equipment is allocated to, so you can make an informed decision on the next steps to take.

If for some reason the user doesn’t take action on the double bookings as they occur, the existence of booking conflicts is highlighted on the Bookings section of the dashboard. Automated emails can be set up to be sent to nominated users on a daily basis of any double bookings that need to be resolved before the booking date arrives.

Seamless Deposit Collection

Collecting deposits is an essential part of any equipment hire process, as it provides a safety net and guarantees financial security for your business. Our software eliminates the stress associated with managing deposits by enabling you to collect them prior to booking confirmation. By making use of this feature, you will alleviate cash flow concerns, ensuring that both parties are committed and ready for a successful transaction.

Enhanced Planning and Equipment Allocation

Planning ahead and having a clear overview of your equipment availability is crucial for smooth operations. Our bookings management functionality allows you to strategically plan and allocate equipment with ease. With a comprehensive overview of your bookings, you can easily identify any gaps or overlaps in your schedule, ensuring that all equipment is allocated efficiently and no bookings are missed.

Furthermore, our software enables you to track the availability of specific equipment, helping you manage your inventory effectively. You can easily see which equipment is in use, when it will be returned, and when it is available for future bookings. This level of organization and control allows you to optimize your resources and provide a seamless experience for your customers.

From the Dashboard screen, all users have access to the Calendar, showing the current status of every piece of equipment in your fleet. The equipment can be filtered by category, subcategory, location and status, so you can quickly get the information you need to.
