Construction Equipment Rental Software with Online Booking & Fleet Tracking. Built For You.

01

Day, week and four-week rates, on every machine.

A contractor calls for the weekly rate on the 20-ton, and the price sheet on the wall is from last year.

Every machine page shows its rate table: the mini excavator is $395 a day, $1,295 a week, $3,495 for four weeks. Each unit is numbered (ME35-01 to 03) and has its own calendar, so the page only books dates a machine is free.

02

Nine days costs a week and two days. Five days costs a week.

Someone books nine days at the day rate, someone else gets five days for less than a week, and the counter argues about both.

The price is the cheapest way to cover the dates. Nine days on the mini excavator is a week plus two days, $2,085, not nine days at $395. Five days would be $1,975 at the day rate, so it costs a week: $1,295. Nobody does the math by hand.

03

The lowboy is priced by the road miles to the jobsite.

Every quote stops at “where’s the job?”, and the transport charge depends on who measures the map.

Checkout measures the road miles from the yard to the jobsite and prices the lowboy, both ways: $250 up to 15 miles, then $12 a mile, up to 60 miles. A skid steer for a day in Golden, 25 miles out, comes to $345 plus $300 of lowboy; south Denver is 12 miles, $250. Customers who haul it themselves pick it up at the yard for nothing.

04

The contractor’s PO is on the order.

Accounts payable rejects your invoice because it doesn’t carry their purchase order number.

Checkout asks for a PO number after the company name, and it stays on the order next to the billing address. Brennan Excavating’s 20-ton for nine days carries PO BE-4471, booked on the company account to pay by invoice.

05

Contractor accounts see their own rates.

Your best customers get 15% off, the new guy at the counter doesn’t know, and they get charged list.

Contractors with an account are in a group that gets 15% off every rental. When Mike from Brennan Excavating signs in, the same nine days on the mini excavator show $1,772.25 instead of $2,085, on the page and at checkout.

06

Service by engine hours, before it’s late.

The 250-hour service lives in a mechanic’s head, and the 20-ton goes out at 1,268 hours.

Every machine carries its engine-hour meter and the 250-hour service. The list shows what’s due by the hours and what’s overdue, and a click opens the job. EX20-01 is past its 1,250, ME35-02 is close to 750.

07

Which machines earn, and which sit.

You’re about to buy a third telehandler because they “always seem to be out”.

For each machine: what it cost, what it collected, how often it was out and for how long. Since July the mini excavators have been out every day and the skid steers 83% of the time; the telehandlers only 58%, the 20-tons 66%. The next machine you buy is a mini, not a telehandler.

08

A late machine shows up the day it’s late.

The skid steer was due back Tuesday, it’s Friday, and the next renter is calling.

Everything that’s out is on one list with the day it was due and how many days late it is. Reyes Concrete’s skid steer was due back on October 6: three days late, with the order a click away so you can call them or extend it.

09

The trucks’ week: every delivery and haul-back, by truck.*

Which lowboy takes the excavator Monday at 6:30, and when is the haul-back? It lives in the dispatcher’s head.

The lowboy (the 20-ton and the telehandler) and the tilt trailer (the minis and the skid steers), Monday the 12th to Sunday, every delivery on the first day and every haul-back on the last, with the company, the jobsite and the road miles. Monday the lowboy makes two runs: the 20-ton to Brennan Excavating on Dahlia St, then the telehandler to Thornton. The platform prices the trip (row 03) and lists what’s out (row 08).

The fleet, machine by machine, three weeks on one screen.

The 20-ton is promised to two contractors for the same Monday, because the whiteboard only shows what went out today.

The Booking Schedule’s timeline, October 5 to 25, every machine on its own row by its number: Brennan Excavating on EX20-01 from Monday the 12th to the 21st, Summit Ridge on TH10-01 for four weeks, Hale Landscape on ME35-01 and SSL-01 from Tuesday to Friday, the Reyes skid steer back on the 6th. EX20-02 and TH10-02 sit all month: the machines to put on the website’s front page, or to sell.

Your rental website, with the fleet and the rates. Included.

The business has a website from 2014 with a PDF price list.

We build it in your name: every machine with its day, week and four-week rates, transport, contractor accounts, the meter and the fuel rules, and a Book button on every machine. Hosting is included.

Front Range Iron, the test company. Yours looks like yours.

Front Range Iron Rentals is a test company we built for this page; the customers’ and companies’ names are made up, the phone numbers don’t exist and the photos are generated. The checkout is shown in Stripe’s test mode. Every screen not marked * is the system, with the test company’s three months and the coming weeks run through it. The road miles on the two checkouts are a stand-in: the test box has no Google Maps key, so the distance for those jobsites is set by hand; the rate by the mile, the rounding and the price are the system’s own.

* In beta testing.
