Features

Everything a UK hire desk runs on — without the legacy weight.

Hireware is specialised for plant and tool hire: matrix charging, asset groups, quote-to-cash, yard stock, and routes. Compare us with other platforms on our comparison pages.

In the product today

Asset groups & fleet control

Group identical plant — ten cement mixers, one weekly rate — then override name, rate, or matrix on any single unit. Serial numbers, asset tags, condition, branch, and location stay with the physical asset.

  • Bulk create units from a group
  • Per-asset hire overrides
  • Status: available, on hire, maintenance
  • CSV export for fleet lists

UK hire rate matrices

Charge the way UK hire desks already think: day 1 at 50% of week, day 2 at 75%, day 3+ at 100%, then either sub-days or sub-weeks for spillover. Attach matrices at group, asset, or contract line.

  • Configurable day % of weekly rate
  • Sub-days and sub-weeks modes
  • Live quote calculator
  • Pricing breakdown on every hire line

Quote → contract → invoice

Customers and multi-site delivery addresses, draft quotes, confirm into live hire with non-overlapping asset bookings, then convert to invoice with UK-friendly tax defaults.

  • Document numbering (HR / QT / invoices)
  • GiST booking conflict protection
  • PDF contracts and invoices
  • Dashboard utilisation KPIs

Yard stock & purchasing

Consumables by branch and bin, reorder points, suppliers, purchase orders, auto-PO from low stock, goods receipt, and inter-branch transfers.

  • Stock levels & reservations
  • Auto purchase orders
  • GRN updates on-hand qty
  • Customer & supplier CSV import

Deliveries & route planning

Confirmed contracts feed an unscheduled pool. Assign vehicles and drivers, drag-and-drop stops, and keep the depot-to-site rhythm visible.

  • Delivery and collection jobs
  • Vehicle & driver records
  • Drag-and-drop route board
  • Stop ordering for the day

Finance & month-end

Open invoices, Stripe checkout (or simulated payments in sandbox), refunds, and an idempotent month-end that snapshots revenue, aged debt, stock valuation, and utilisation.

  • Balances and payment states
  • Stripe webhooks
  • Aged debt views
  • Branch hire revenue reports

Multi-depot, UK-first tenancy

Each hire company gets an isolated tenant database. Branches, RBAC roles, 20% VAT defaults, and postcode-friendly customer sites — built for UK plant and tool hire, not generic US rental.

  • Database-per-tenant security
  • Roles & permissions
  • Multi-branch depots
  • Public REST API

On the roadmap

The gaps UK desks still feel — we are building them next.

Waitlist members hear first when these land. Honest labelling: live capabilities above, committed direction below.

Cross-hire management

When your own fleet is short, hire in from a supplier or sister depot without losing the customer contract trail — sub-hire costs, margins, and return dates in one place.

Customisable reports

Beyond fixed utilisation and aged-debt packs: build the columns your MD actually asks for, save views per branch, and export without a spreadsheet rebuild every Friday.

AI reporting

Ask natural-language questions against your hire data — utilisation outliers, slow movers, margin by category — with guardrails so answers stay inside your tenant.

Returns, damage & off-hire charges

Structured collection inspections, damage photos, and recharge lines that flow straight into the invoice.

Accounting sync

Push invoices and payments to Xero and Sage so the hire desk and the ledger stop fighting each other.

Maintenance & LOLER history

Service intervals, certificates, and lock-outs so unsafe plant never reaches a contract line.
