Rental contracts & billing · Equipment rental
Clean contracts, revenue collected on time.
A rental past its return date is either an extension or a retrieval. Miss the call and the cycle bills the wrong rate, or nothing.
The reality
Unbilled rental days are lost revenue.
Contracts drift out of sync with reality. A unit's term expires but it's still on a job site; someone has to decide extension or retrieval, update the contract, apply the right weekly or monthly rate, and make sure the billing cycle keeps running. Miss it and you either bill nothing for equipment that's still out, or you bill the wrong rate and the customer disputes it — and now it's a credit, a call, and a write-off.
The operator owns the contract from creation through collection. It catches expiring terms, issues the extension or retrieval notice, finalises billing at the correct rate, and works credit disputes to resolution — so revenue for equipment in the field actually lands on the invoice and gets collected.
