Hold time through the return

Reserve the complete generator hire as one interval so preparation and the fuel and condition check do not leak online.

They do not know what kVA they need.

They know there is a wedding in a field, or a site with three-phase welding gear. The rating is a calculation at your end, and both ways of getting it wrong are yours to own.

  • Specified, then booked

    The set is chosen by what it actually has to run, so nobody arrives at a field with a machine that trips out during the speeches.

  • A long hire needs visits

    A set on site for a fortnight has to be refuelled, and those are jobs in your week rather than a single line that ends at collection.

  • Out is out

    A hired set leaves the page from delivery to collection, so a machine sitting in a compound is never promised to a second job.

Built for your yard

Built for every kind of power hire

A construction-site generator

Hold the selected unit from yard test through site delivery and the fuel check on return.

The outdoor festival unit

Keep setup and collection road time around the event, with the selected generator held until yard return.

Temporary power for a workshop

Quote portable and larger site generators separately with agreed service lines.

Inspection before the next hirer

The outdoor festival unit: hold the generator after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.

The first postcode

A construction-site generator: public booking captures one postcode; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

Temporary power for a workshop: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.

Portable generator or larger site generator

The outdoor festival unit: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

BACS receipt reaches the office

A construction-site generator: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.

A return needs staff attention

Temporary power for a workshop: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.

A cancellation returns one generator

The outdoor festival unit: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.

Booked with the spec on it.

Rating, fuel type and the dates in one go, so what arrives on site is the machine that was actually agreed.

Pro

Agreement and receipts on one hire.

A construction-site generator: the accepted quote and manually recorded BACS receipt keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote first

    A construction-site generator: keep the accepted option, span and service lines attached when the approved document becomes a booking.

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    The outdoor festival unit: apply BACS receipt or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.

  • Emails are switched on deliberately

    Temporary power for a workshop: the operator chooses whether to enable a confirmation or reminder after details are settled.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your generator hire business.

Online booking

A hirer can select portable generator or larger site generator and an open time online, with one postcode beginning the hire record.

Scheduling

The timeline holds the complete generator hire through the fuel and condition check; the selected generator stays off the public page.

Standing bookings

For regular generator hire, repeat one weekday each week or every other week instead of rebuilding the same hire by hand.

One set, one site

A hired set leaves the page from delivery to collection, so the machine sitting in a field on the Saturday is not also promised elsewhere.

Rating is part of the booking

The set is chosen by what it actually has to run, so nobody is sent a machine that trips out under load or one three times bigger than needed.

Email reminders

Enable the email reminder when the portable generator booking needs one, rather than assuming every hire should send the same message automatically.

Customers

Returning hirers retain their hire history and staff notes, so the next request begins with useful context. The booking remains clear.

Team

Separate logins let yard staff see assigned work, while availability prevents a late generator return landing beyond a shift.

Payments

Customers settle offline by BACS receipt or cash; staff record each receipt on the booking and retain a visible open balance.
