Sub-hire

Sub-hire tracks equipment your organisation borrows from a third party — gear that comes in for a job and needs to go back out. The intake and returns flow keeps a record of what arrived, when, and when it was sent back.

Record a sub-hire intake

  1. Go to Inventory → Sub-Hire → Intake.
  2. Enter the supplier or source.
  3. Add the items being brought in.
  4. Save the intake record.

Record a sub-hire return

  1. Go to Inventory → Sub-Hire → Returns.
  2. Find the intake record.
  3. Mark the items as returned.
  4. Save.

View the sub-hire dashboard

  1. Go to Inventory → Sub-Hire → Dashboard.
  2. Review what is currently on hire and any overdue returns.

Things to know

  • Sub-hire items are tracked separately from your own stock — they do not affect your inventory quantities.
  • The dashboard shows all active hire records so you can track what needs to be returned.
