Equipment Rental Operations

Load it, deliver it, collect it again.

Packing lists, delivery routes, proof of delivery and return trips for companies that deliver rented equipment.

TL;DR

Batchtab covers the logistics around rented equipment: packing lists and load manifests with scan, multi-vehicle delivery routes, proof of delivery, and automatically created return trips. It is not a rental booking and availability system. Flat license, unlimited users, closed beta.

Equipment rental headaches

Where the margin leaks.

Where is that chafer?

It went out last week. To which project? Who signed for it? When was it supposed to come back?

Items missing at the end

Without a comparison against the original load list, a missing crate of glasses goes unnoticed until the next project.

Return pickups are an afterthought

The delivery is planned in detail. The pickup is a phone call.

Loading is memory work

The vehicle is packed from a printed list and someone's recollection of what the project needs.

Proof of delivery

Photo, signature and recipient name captured at the stop.

Return trips can be created automatically when a delivery is created (per-account setting).

Calendar import

Projects from Google Calendar can be imported into the planning.
