Compaction Plant Hire Needs More Than a Calendar
Rollers and vibrating plates are inspection-regulated plant. On a busy site, hires get extended without authorisation, machines come back with undisclosed damage, and your invoices don't match what was actually on hire. Without a system built for plant, you lose money on every extension dispute.
Compaction Hire From Dispatch to Invoice
Inspection Certificate Management
Attach LOLER certs to each machine and receive automated alerts before they expire.
On-Hire Time Stamping
Record exact dispatch and return times to bill precisely — no more rounding disputes with contractors.
Extension Approval Workflow
Contractors request extensions via portal; you approve or quote a new rate before the period extends.
Pre/Post Inspection Records
Capture digital pre-delivery and post-return inspection reports with photo evidence per hire.
Making Roller Hire Operationally Tight
Vibrating Plate Sub-Fleet
Manage lighter compaction plates as a separate sub-fleet — quicker turnaround, different pricing tiers.
Contractor PO Tracking
Match every hire against a client purchase order number to simplify their project billing and avoid invoice rejections.
Machine Hours Reporting
Track billable hours per machine to understand utilisation and inform fleet replacement decisions.
Breakdown Replacement Dispatch
If a roller fails on site, log the breakdown, suspend billing, and dispatch a replacement with a linked record.
