Running plant hire from spreadsheets costs you jobs
Excavators are your highest-value assets. When availability tracking is manual, double-bookings happen. When service records live in a notebook, you miss intervals. When delivery scheduling is by phone call, your drivers waste hours. Renttix gives plant hire operations a single system that ties availability, maintenance, dispatch, and contracts together.
How Renttix handles excavator hire operations
Real-time availability calendar
See which excavators are out on hire, due back, or in service at a glance. Book new hires against live availability without calling the yard.
Maintenance and service tracking
Log service intervals against each machine. Get visibility on which excavators are due for service before they go out on hire.
Delivery and collection dispatch
Schedule excavator deliveries and collections with driver assignment and real-time status updates from the field.
Hire contracts from the booking
Generate hire agreements directly from the booking record. Customer details, machine specs, hire period, and rates are all pulled automatically.
Built for the way plant hire actually works
Per-machine service records
Track service history, hours logged, and maintenance intervals per excavator — not per category.
Multi-depot fleet visibility
If your plant is split across depots or sites, Renttix shows availability across all locations.
Damage and deposit management
Record pre-hire condition, capture deposits, and log damage on return directly against the hire record.
Accounting integration
Invoices sync automatically to Xero or QuickBooks when a hire closes. No manual re-entry.
