BaseLeap Equipment Hire

Every asset, serviced, certified and out on hire.

One record per asset: what it is, where it is, what it is due for, what has been done to it, and who has it on hire. The workshop and the hire desk work from the same register, so a machine is never serviced and hired out at the same time.

BaseLeap · Equipment Manager The BaseLeap equipment manager: fleet totals, then each asset with its status, category, location, condition and next service date
How the work moves

The life of an asset.

01

Register

The asset, its category, its site, its purchase and its photos.

02

Schedule

Every maintenance regime it carries, each with its own interval.

03

Work

The service order raised against it, done and signed off.

04

History

Every service, report and certificate, on the asset rather than in a folder.

05

Hire

Out on an agreement, priced from a rate card, delivered, returned, inspected and billed.

06

Stock

The parts it consumed, received, counted and replenished.

What it covers

Built for fleets that work for a living.

Cranes, plant, tools or event kit, serviced, certified and hired out from one register.

The asset register

Every asset on one record: category, location, purchase, photos, documents and custom fields, with one status vocabulary across the platform.

Maintenance schedules

An asset carries many regimes at once: mechanical service, fire suppression, electrical test, each with its own interval and owner.

Service history and certificates

Every order against the asset, its service reports, and compliance certificates that are configuration rather than code.

Hire and inventory

A full hire desk: catalogue, rate cards, availability, agreements, delivery and returns, and a stock ledger behind the parts the work consumes.

In the product

In detail.

The main areas of BaseLeap Equipment Hire. Open any of them for the detail, with a closer look at the screens.

Equipment hire

A hire desk on the same register as the workshop.

For businesses that hire equipment out: plant and earthmoving, access, generators and site gear, tools, and AV and event kit. The desk quotes, reserves, signs, delivers, takes back and bills, and because the machines are the ones on your asset register, a service that is due takes a machine off the board by itself.

BaseLeap · Hire Agreements The hire register: agreements with the hirer, their PO, the machines on each, status, dates with overdue returns flagged, and totals
The hire register: what is out, what is overdue back, and what is due for billing.
BaseLeap · Hire Catalogue The hire catalogue: utilisation by item over the last 30 days, then each item with its tracking, charge basis, pool, free-now count and location
The catalogue: utilisation by item, and how each is tracked and charged.
01

A specific machine is committed, checked against every other booking and service.

03

Delivered by a job on the dispatch board, extended or re-priced while it is out.

05

Return

Checked in, inspected, and any damage or loss charged on the spot.

Catalogue and fleet

What you advertise, and the actual machines behind it.

  • Serialised items, where it matters which machine goes out
  • Bulk items (cones, barriers, cable) counted by quantity
  • Kits, available only as far as their scarcest part
  • A hire pool drawn from the asset register, never a copy of it
  • Live availability and location filters on the catalogue
  • Utilisation by item over 30 or 90 days, or by month

Rates and pricing

The price a hire desk would work out by hand, every time.

  • Rate cards by hour, day, week and month, with effective dates
  • Best price: six days at the week rate when the week is cheaper
  • Rounding by whole days, working days only, or by the hour
  • Charged on time, on meter hours, or whichever is greater
  • Contract pricebooks per customer, falling back to your card
  • Volume, duration, tier, promo and seasonal discounts, with approval over a limit

Availability and bookings

A machine cannot be promised twice. Not by a race, not by a second tab.

  • Double-booking refused by the database itself
  • Service jobs, hires, maintenance and blackouts on one calendar
  • Turnaround buffers for cleaning, inspection and transport
  • Scheduled maintenance blocks a machine automatically
  • An availability calendar on the hire, and a choice of machine
  • A quote holds nothing; confirming holds the machine

Agreements and handover

The paperwork the argument about damage will turn on.

  • Hire quotes and rental agreements carrying your own terms
  • Signed on the screen, or by a single-use email link
  • Check-out with photos, meter reading and the hirer’s signature
  • Serial numbers printed on every line
  • Extend, re-price, split or remove lines while on hire
  • Each line keeps its own price

Delivery and returns

The truck, the docket and the walk-around, all on the hire.

  • Delivery and collection jobs on the dispatch board, with dockets
  • Starting and completing them moves the hire along by itself
  • Drivers check out and check in on the field app, even offline
  • Return one line or everything, with condition and meter in
  • Damage and loss charges that land on the invoice, not in a note
  • A return inspection checklist, and damaged machines sent to repair

Billing and control

What is out, what is overdue, and what has not been billed.

  • One-off invoices re-priced for early returns and extensions
  • Weekly, fortnightly or monthly billing priced as one continuous hire
  • Overdue hires kept booked and listed for follow-up
  • Counts of hires overdue back and due for billing
  • An equipment hire dashboard, and reports on agreements, utilisation and returns
  • Hire changes only through the desk, for admins too

Plant hire and AV hire differ by configuration, not by code: charge periods, rounding, weekends and public holidays, lifecycle stages and discount rules are all settings.
