Renttix for storage container and portable storage rental businesses

Rental management for shipping container and portable storage businesses tracking units across dozens of sites for months at a time.

Storage container and portable storage rental means holding customers' goods, not people. Steel units go out to construction sites, business premises and self-storage yards and often stay for months, so a fleet ends up scattered across dozens of locations at once. You need to know where every unit is, when it was delivered, and how to bill a long hire accurately. Renttix keeps unit locations, deliveries and recurring invoicing in one place, so extended storage hires bill correctly and no unit gets lost track of in the field.

Common challenges in storage container rental

  1. Units scattered across many sites

    With hundreds of containers out on hire at once, each on a different site for months, it's easy to lose track of which unit is where and when it's due back.

  2. Long, open-ended hire periods

    Storage hires often run for months with no fixed end date, so billing has to keep pace automatically instead of relying on someone remembering to invoice.

  3. Coordinating delivery and collection runs

    Delivering and collecting bulky steel units to sites spread across a wide area means planning routes and job details carefully, or drivers waste a day on empty miles.

How Renttix helps

  1. Automatic recurring billing

    Renttix bills each ongoing container hire automatically on its recurring cycle, calculating accurate part-period and off-hire charges so nothing is missed or invoiced late.

  2. Know where every unit is

    See which site or location each container is on, when it was delivered, and its full history, so a fleet spread across dozens of sites stays accounted for.

  3. Planned delivery and collection

    Plan delivery and collection of units to and from sites, with routes and a clear job manifest for every driver.

Frequently asked questions

Can Renttix track containers once they're out on site?

Yes. Renttix records which site or location each unit is on, when it was delivered, and its full history. With a fleet spread across dozens of sites at once, you can check a unit's status and location without phoning around.

How does Renttix handle billing for long-running storage hires?

Renttix bills each ongoing hire automatically on its recurring cycle, working out accurate part-period and off-hire charges as units go out and come back. That keeps invoicing correct even when a hire runs for months without a fixed end date.

Can Renttix plan delivery and collection routes for containers?

Yes. You can plan delivery and collection of units to and from sites, with routes and a clear job manifest, so drivers know exactly which units to move and where.

Is Renttix suitable for a fleet of storage units spread across many sites?

Yes. Renttix is built to track units at scale, wherever they are. You always know which site holds which unit, when it arrived, and what's due back, so a large dispersed fleet stays under control.
