He said a day. It is going to be four.

The extension is the most common thing that happens here, not the booking. Handle it in ten seconds at the right price and the trade account stays yours.

  • Move the return, keep the money right

    The price follows the new span off your own ladder, so four days is charged as four days rather than a day rate multiplied four times.

  • A week is not seven days

    Set the rungs you really charge and the cheapest combination covers the hire, including rounding up to a week when a week is cheaper.

  • Nothing is promised twice

    An extended hire keeps the tool off the page, so the mixer somebody kept until Thursday is not sold to a walk-in on the Wednesday.

Built for your counter

Built for every kind of tool hire

A renovation power-tool kit

Reserve the selected tools through counter test, postcode handover and return check.

The building-site equipment package

Keep every booked day and the larger item list together.

A tradesperson extends the hire

Move the existing return with its BACS receipt and notes intact.

Inspection before the next hirer

The building-site equipment package: hold the equipment item after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.

The first postcode

A renovation power-tool kit: public booking captures one postcode; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

A tradesperson extends the hire: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.

Power-tool kit or larger site-equipment package

The building-site equipment package: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

BACS receipt reaches the office

A renovation power-tool kit: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.

A return needs staff attention

A tradesperson extends the hire: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.

A cancellation returns one equipment item

The building-site equipment package: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.

Booked from the site.

Somebody standing in a trench with a phone can see what is free and hold it before they drive over. No laptop and no week of notice.

Pro

Agreement and receipts on one hire.

A renovation power-tool kit: the accepted quote and manually recorded BACS receipt keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote first

    A renovation power-tool kit: keep the accepted option, span and service lines attached when the approved document becomes a booking.

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    The building-site equipment package: apply BACS receipt or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.

  • Emails are switched on deliberately

    A tradesperson extends the hire: 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 tool hire business.

Online booking

Hirers choose power-tool kit or larger site-equipment package, enter one postcode and request live time for tools and equipment without waiting for a call back.

Scheduling

The complete equipment item hire reserves the selected equipment item through the clean-down and condition check; overlapping time stays off the public page.

Standing bookings

Regular equipment item hire can repeat on one chosen weekday every week or fortnight, with a finishing date or agreed number of hires.

One tool, one job

A hired item leaves the page for its whole span, so the breaker somebody kept until Thursday is not shown as free on the Wednesday.

Extensions reprice

A job that runs over moves the return, and the price follows the new span off your ladder rather than being worked out on the back of a docket.

Bonds

Store the card at booking, place the hold when the kit goes out, and release it or keep part of it when it comes back checked.

Customers

Hirers, venues and local organisations keep hires, notes and receipts on one record, so repeat work is recognisable.

Team

Hire staff accounts and working hours show who can prepare a late equipment item return, avoiding an assignment outside the person’s actual shift.

Payments

Record BACS receipt, cash or another offline receipt on Free and leave the unpaid amount visible; card checkout is not offered in this market.
