POS Equipment Hire Involves High Asset Value in Uncontrolled Environments
Hiring card readers and POS terminals to market traders and festival vendors means expensive equipment in unpredictable conditions. Without serial number tracking, end-of-event returns reconciliation, and damage deposits, missing or damaged units become absorbed losses. And with dozens of hirers at the same event, manual tracking is impossible.
POS Hire Tracking That Accounts for Every Terminal
Serial Number Asset Tracking
Every terminal, reader, and printer is tracked by serial number through every hire — assigned to a specific hirer at each event.
Event-Based Bulk Deployment
Deploy sets of terminals to a single event under one agreement — individual units tracked, consolidated invoice per organiser.
End-of-Event Returns Reconciliation
Check in terminals against the event dispatch list at collection — missing units trigger replacement charges immediately.
Short-Term Billing Flexibility
Bill per day, per event, or per weekend — matching the short hire patterns of market and festival use.
For POS Hire Companies Supplying Markets and Festivals
Battery and Charging Status
Log battery condition and charging status per terminal before dispatch — fully charged equipment only.
SIM and Connectivity Records
Track SIM cards and data bundles per terminal — charged if removed or damaged on return.
Organiser and Trader Accounts
Event organisers get master accounts; individual traders are sub-hirers — invoicing flows to the organiser per event.
Damage Deposit Processing
Collect deposits per terminal and reconcile at event end — protecting against loss in high-volume deployments.
