The Challenge

The Reality of Running an Equipment Rental Business

Scheduling conflicts cost you hires and credibility.

Two customers book the same piece of equipment for overlapping dates. You find out when one of them calls to confirm. The other shows up and goes home empty-handed.

Asset tracking is a spreadsheet nightmare.

You don't know which equipment is out, who has it, when it's coming back, or what condition it was in when it left. Damage disputes happen because nobody wrote anything down at pickup.

Maintenance falls through the cracks.

Equipment goes out for hire before the scheduled service because nobody connected the maintenance calendar to the booking system. You're sending out equipment you haven't checked.

Invoicing happens days after the hire is complete.

Jobs finish in the field. Paperwork comes back to the office late, if at all. Cash flow suffers because billing can't keep up with what's been returned.

HOW HYKMAH SOLVES THIS

We Recommend Rentalux

Rentalux is equipment rental and asset management software for Australian rental businesses. It manages bookings, asset tracking, maintenance scheduling, and invoicing in one system.

Booking Calendar — Real-time availability view across all assets. Unavailable equipment is blocked automatically — no manual cross-checking before confirming a hire.
Asset Register — Centralised record for every piece of equipment with condition history, service dates, and location. Know the full story of every asset without digging through files.
Condition Reporting — Pre-hire and post-hire condition capture with photos and timestamps. When a damage dispute arises, the evidence is already attached to the hire record.

Maintenance Scheduling — Service intervals linked directly to the asset record. Equipment is blocked from hire when maintenance is due — it can't go out before it's been checked.
Hire Agreements — Digital agreements sent and signed at booking or pickup. No printing, no chasing paper, and no disputes about what was agreed.
Invoicing & Damage Billing — Generate invoices on return with direct sync to Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks. Damage recorded at return is billed from the same hire record without a separate process.

Who This Is For

Built for Australian Rental Businesses

Construction and Trades Equipment Rental

Businesses managing tools, machinery, and plant for builders and tradespeople. High asset values, frequent hire cycles, and maintenance obligations make tracking non-negotiable.

Event and AV Equipment Rental

Companies managing lighting, sound, and staging for events. Equipment often goes to multiple venues in a week, and availability conflicts are the difference between a successful event and a failed one.

Party and Hospitality Hire

Businesses hiring tables, chairs, linen, and catering equipment. High volume of items per booking and condition tracking on soft furnishings and tableware.

Sports and Outdoor Recreation Rental

Businesses managing bikes, watercraft, and outdoor gear. Seasonal demand, size and fit variants, and damage on return are the recurring challenges.

What is Rentalux?

Rentalux is equipment rental and asset management software for Australian rental businesses. It manages bookings, asset tracking, condition reporting, maintenance scheduling, hire agreements, and invoicing in one platform.

How much does Rentalux cost?

Hykmah plans start from free, with paid tiers at $50 and $350 AUD/month. Rentalux is available across these tiers with different inclusions at each level. See the full Rentalux product page for tier details.

How does Rentalux prevent double-bookings?

Rentalux maintains a real-time availability calendar for every asset. Once an asset is booked, those dates are blocked across all booking channels. Staff cannot confirm a booking for unavailable equipment.

Can I track damage and bill customers for it?

Yes. Rentalux supports pre-hire and post-hire condition capture with photos and notes. If damage is recorded on return, you can generate a damage invoice directly from the hire record.

Does Rentalux handle maintenance scheduling?

Yes. You can set maintenance intervals on each asset. When a service is due, Rentalux blocks the asset from hire automatically until the maintenance is marked complete.

Does Rentalux integrate with Xero or MYOB?

Yes. Invoices generated on hire completion sync directly with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks. No manual data entry required.

Can I migrate from my current system?

Data migration support is available. Contact our team for assistance importing asset records and hire history from spreadsheets or other rental platforms.
