Industry workflow / Equipment rental

Know what is available, where it went and how it came back.

Coordinate reservation, dispatch, handover, field support and return around serialised equipment, accessories, inspections, utilisation, deposits and accountable condition evidence.

OPERATING SCENE

Availability, custody, meter use and return condition

Rental revenue depends on a physical custody chain. Availability is false when the machine is returned damaged, waiting inspection, missing an accessory or already promised to another customer.

Shared field-service kernelVertical-specific docketConfigurable industry workflow

The service daybook

One accountable chain from request to settlement.

The shared field-service kernel keeps customer, site, asset, job, inventory, money, people, approval and audit records continuous. This template changes the vocabulary, controls and evidence required for this trade.
  1. 01

    Commit real availability

    Match the request to a specific cleared asset, accessory set, location and service window.

  2. 02

    Transfer custody

    Inspect, meter, document condition and acknowledge handover at dispatch and receipt.

  3. 03

    Support on rent

    Route breakdown, field service, replacement and contract communication with asset context.

  4. 04

    Clear the return

    Inspect condition, settle damage and charges, then release the asset to availability.

Vertical operating dossier

The records this service model must understand.

Each ledger below answers a different operational question. Together they prevent critical context from collapsing into free-text notes.
01

Jobs

Service motions

The template starts with recognisable work, not a generic task type.

  • Reservation and availability commitment
  • Pre-dispatch inspection and delivery
  • Customer handover and meter capture
  • On-rent service or replacement
  • Return, damage assessment and turnaround
02

Assets

Installed or entrusted assets

Every visit inherits the identity, location, entitlement and history needed to act responsibly.

  • Equipment category, model, serial and ownership
  • Meter, runtime, fuel or charge state where relevant
  • Accessory, attachment and safety-kit relationship
  • Current location, custody and availability state
  • Inspection, maintenance and damage history
03

Evidence

Proof another role can trust

Evidence stays proportionate, permission-aware and attached to the exact job and asset.

  • Pre-dispatch identity and condition
  • Meter, runtime and accessory checklist
  • Signed or acknowledged custody transfer
  • On-rent issue and service action
  • Return condition, damage observation and final meter
04

Warranty and AMC

Commercial entitlement

Coverage, exclusions and external authority remain explicit before work becomes a claim or invoice.

  • Separate owner warranty, preventive plan and customer damage responsibility
  • Block rental when mandatory maintenance or inspection is due
  • Attach vendor case references without assuming acceptance
  • Carry repeat breakdowns into replacement and fleet-review decisions
05

Stock and tools

Field custody

Availability means the right item, responsible custodian and reconciled return state are known.

  • Track equipment, attachments, cables, batteries and safety kits together
  • Reserve field-service spares and replacement units
  • Control depot and technician custody for tools and consumables
  • Quarantine returned equipment until inspection clears availability
06

Payments and collections

Money at the handoff

The service result, invoice responsibility and actual settlement state remain distinct.

  • Keep deposit, rental charge, transport, fuel and damage lines distinct
  • Link approved extensions and late-return rules to the contract
  • Record invoice, credit adjustment and provider-confirmed collection
  • Release deposits only after return and commercial review

Service promise and system boundary

Urgency is operational. Authority is explicit.

SLA clocks must produce responsible action, while every external integration reports only what its provider has actually confirmed.
SLAResponse and closure controls
  1. 01

    Availability promise requires reserved asset and cleared condition

  2. 02

    Set response and replacement windows by equipment criticality and contract

  3. 03

    Expose transport, access, operator and spare-unit dependencies

  4. 04

    Closure requires return inspection, custody and commercial settlement state

PROVIDERExternal authority boundaries
  • Telematics and meter feeds remain unavailable until a device connector is certified
  • Maps estimate routing and location; signed custody remains the handover evidence
  • Electronic signature and payment states depend on configured providers
  • KaryaFlow records inspections but does not issue statutory equipment certification
EXCEPTION VIEW

Lead with what can no longer wait.

Prioritise double booking, overdue return, missing accessories, unsafe condition, on-rent breakdown, disputed damage and deposit release awaiting evidence.

Cross-ledger continuity

The value appears at the handoff.

The template must preserve these relationships rather than creating separate customer, stock, service and billing truths.
01

Enquiry

Enquiry to reserved availability. The destination receives source context, responsible role and evidence state.

02

Depot inspection

Depot inspection to customer handover. The destination receives source context, responsible role and evidence state.

03

On-rent fault

On-rent fault to field service or replacement. The destination receives source context, responsible role and evidence state.

04

Return inspection

Return inspection to damage review. The destination receives source context, responsible role and evidence state.

05

Cleared return

Cleared return to fleet availability. The destination receives source context, responsible role and evidence state.
