The Gap Between the Workshop and the Field
Workshop software has always had a blind spot: the moment an engineer drives out of the gate. The job is planned in a system, but the work itself is captured on paper, in text messages, or not at all.
That gap costs real money. Hours go unbilled because nobody wrote them down. Parts vanish into vans. Customers dispute work because there is no signed record of what was done. Renttix Field was built to close that gap completely.
One App for Drivers and Engineers
Renttix Field is the same app your drivers already use for deliveries and collections — extended into a full field service tool. Engineers see their service jobs alongside everything else, with the same offline-first design that keeps working in basements and remote sites.
A service job in the field behaves like a service job in the workshop. Start it, pause it, hold it for parts, resume it, complete it. The office watches status change in real time instead of phoning around the fleet to find out where things stand.
Job Sheets Your Customers Sign on Site
At the end of the visit, the engineer builds the job sheet on the device: work performed, parts used, checks completed, photos from site. The customer reads it and signs on screen, there and then.
A signed service report PDF is generated immediately and can be shared before the engineer leaves. No paperwork travels back to the office, and no dispute survives contact with a signed, timestamped record created at the moment the work happened.
Checklists That Enforce Your Standard
Service checklists are seeded automatically from the task type. A generator service shows generator checks. A platform inspection shows the checks that platform requires. Engineers tick items off as they work, with notes where something needs explaining.
Required items must be complete before the customer can sign off. The standard you define in the office becomes the standard applied on every site, by every engineer, on every visit.
Parts, Quotes and Follow-Ups Without Phone Calls
Field visits generate work. A part is needed, a fault is discovered, the customer asks for a price. Renttix Field handles each of those without a phone call.
Engineers consume parts straight from their van stock — billed automatically through the workshop charging engine. Missing parts become parts requests that hold the job and appear in the office's field ops inbox. Extra work becomes a proper estimate raised on site at office rates, linked to the original job for follow-up.
Built Offline-First
Field work happens where connectivity does not. Every capture in Renttix Field — checklists, labour, photos, signatures, expenses, messages — is stored on the device first and synced the moment a connection returns.
Engineers never wait on a signal to do their job, and the office never loses a record to a dead spot. It is the difference between software designed for the field and office software squeezed onto a phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. It is the same app. Drivers use it for deliveries and collections with proof of delivery, and engineers use it for service jobs with checklists, parts, and signed job sheets. One app to install, one app to learn.
Parts consumed from van stock flow onto the job automatically and bill through the same charging engine as workshop parts. Stock is deducted once, at the point of use, so inventory stays accurate without double-counting.
Everything works offline. Captures are stored on the device and sync automatically when connectivity returns, so nothing is lost and engineers never wait on a connection.
