Rental Equipment ERP Features

Rental Wizard is modular equipment rental software and ERP built for rental equipment businesses. It covers the entire rental lifecycle: the website that acquires customers, the login-free portals that let them negotiate and sign, and the admin suite that runs fleet, workshop, procurement, finance, payroll, and compliance. Below is the module-by-module breakdown.

Website Studio & Public Storefront

A theme-driven rental equipment storefront that customers can browse, filter, and request quotes from without an account.

• A theme library — Industrial (rugged, heavy machinery), Atlas (clean commercial grid), Meridian (corporate fleet leasing), Volt (bold, tech-forward). Each customizable in a no-code theme editor.
• Equipment catalog with multi-angle galleries, full technical specification tables, and downloadable inspection report PDFs.
• Spec filtering by engine power, operating weight, boom reach, bucket capacity, fuel type, and year.
• Hierarchical browsing by category and subcategory, with clean, shareable URLs.
• Real-time availability indicators on every equipment detail page.
• Multi-item RFQ cart — customers add multiple machines, attachments, and operators, specify duration and site requirements, and submit a single quote request without logging in.
• Custom RFQ form for requirements not in the standard catalog.
• Customer account portal with company details, authorized contacts, job site directory, and RFQ/contract history.
• Automatic sitemap and robots.txt generated from the live catalog.

Customer & Vendor Self-Service Portals

Zero-login, cryptographically tokenized portals for everyone outside the company. No passwords, no accounts — just a secure link.

• Interactive proposal review and negotiation — customers open the commercial proposal, approve with one click, or submit line-item counter-offers on pricing, duration, or payment terms.
• Contract e-signing with OTP — legal contract rendered in-browser, two-factor verification via SMS or email, touch signature capture, and a timestamped audit record with signer IP and device metadata.
• KYC document upload — new enterprise customers upload business registration, tax documents (such as W-9 and resale certificates), owner IDs, and bank authorization forms from mobile or desktop without logging in.
• Vendor RFQ portal — spare parts suppliers and subcontractors submit unit prices, brand, warranty, and lead times directly into the ERP.
• Digital handover and proof of delivery — lowboy drivers and jobsite receivers complete hour-meter, fuel, and condition checklists, then sign on glass to generate a handover PDF.

CRM & Sales Pipeline

The commercial front end of the ERP, from first inquiry to signed contract.
