Suprata for equipment and tool rental companies

Know what's out, what's back and what needs the shop

Suprata Suite treats every machine as a bookable asset, so the skid steer can't be promised to two contractors for the same Tuesday. Damage holds stay on the card until the machine comes back, and rental terms are signed before it leaves. Delivery, pickup and shop repairs run as jobs on the dispatch board.

What a normal week looks like without the right system

We hear these from equipment and tool rental companies all the time. Here is what Suprata does about each one.

Two of my guys rented the same mini excavator for Saturday, and I found out when the second customer showed up.

Each machine is an asset with its own booking calendar, and the booking wizard checks availability and blocks double-bookings.

I take a deposit, forget to release it, and the customer calls me a week later.

Deposits are tracked apart from payments, and a damage hold is released after return or applied to a damage charge.

A contractor brought the lift back with a cracked basket and swore it was already like that.

Rental terms are signed on a tablet before the unit leaves, and photos can be filed on the reservation or the machine's record.

Service history lives in a notebook in the shop, so nobody knows when the trencher was last fixed.

Repairs and service run as internal jobs tied to the machine, so every unit carries its full history.

A day in the life with Suprata

One ordinary day, start to finish

Here is how the work flows when every call, job, booking and payment lives in one place.

  1. 6:45 am

    Yard opens

    The front desk view shows today's pickups and returns, and the dispatch board shows which deliveries leave first.

  2. 7:30 am

    Counter rental

    A contractor rents a skid steer for three days. Staff take a damage hold on the card, and the contractor signs the rental terms on a tablet.

  3. 9:00 am

    Delivery run

    The driver opens the delivery job on a phone, drops the boom lift and gets a signature and photos on site.

  4. 12:30 pm

    Keep it longer

    A customer calls to keep the trencher two more days. Staff check its calendar, see it is free and extend the booking.

  5. 3:00 pm

    Returns and damage

    The excavator comes back with a bent bucket tooth, so staff apply part of the hold to a damage charge and open a shop job.

  6. 5:30 pm

    Wrap up

    The shop job is queued for the morning, and the deposits report shows every hold still open.

How do damage deposits work?

Take a pre-authorized hold on the card at booking. Release it when the machine comes back clean, or apply part of it to a damage charge.

Can I rent small tools by the hour?
