Who Is Rentalux For?

Built for equipment rental and hire businesses who need professional asset operations without the double-booking risk or paperwork chaos.

Accounting

Party & Event Rental

You're managing marquees, furniture, AV, and props across weddings and corporate events. Real-time availability stops double-bookings before they happen, and photo check-out documentation means damage disputes don't become your problem.

Wholesale Distributors

Construction Equipment Rental & Tool Hire

Your fleet spans heavy equipment, tools, and scaffolding across multiple sites. Utilisation tracking, maintenance scheduling, and per-asset revenue visibility keep every piece earning rather than sitting idle.

Fashion

Vehicle & Plant Hire

Hire contracts, deposits, and insurance paperwork slow down every transaction. Digital contracts, structured damage tracking, and automated invoicing cut the admin without cutting corners on your compliance trail.

Omnichannel

Growing Rental Businesses

You've outgrown the spreadsheet. Rentalux gives you professional operations — without the complexity or pricing of enterprise software you don't need yet.

The Problem

Manual Tracking Leads to Double-Bookings and Lost Revenue.

  • Double-bookings when availability is tracked on paper or spreadsheets
  • Equipment returned damaged with no documentation or photo evidence
  • Maintenance schedules missed leading to equipment failures mid-hire
  • Deposits and damage claims managed through messy paperwork
  • No visibility into which equipment is most profitable or underutilised
  • Customers cannot see availability or book online — every booking requires a phone call
The Solution

Complete Asset Lifecycle Management

  • Real-time availability calendar prevents double-bookings across your entire fleet
  • Photo-based check-in/check-out documents condition at every hire
  • Automated maintenance scheduling based on usage or time intervals
  • Digital deposit management with structured damage claim workflows
  • Asset utilisation and revenue analytics per item
  • Online booking widget lets customers check availability and reserve 24/7

Complete Rental Operations Platform

From booking to return, Rentalux manages the entire rental lifecycle for your equipment fleet.


Real-Time Stock Sync

Real-Time Availability Calendar

Built for commercial equipment hire businesses managing multiple assets across locations. Visual calendar showing every asset's status across your fleet. Instantly see what's available, on hire, or blocked for maintenance. Conflict prevention stops double-bookings before they happen — across every location, in a single view.

Multi-Warehouse Inventory

Order Management & Quotes

Create quotes, convert them to orders, and manage the full hire lifecycle from a single record. Track order status from draft through to return, with every change logged against the booking. No more chasing paperwork across inboxes and spreadsheets.

Multi-Warehouse Inventory

Online Booking Portal

Give customers a branded portal to check availability and reserve equipment 24/7 without calling your office. Reservations flow directly into your availability calendar and order queue. No manual re-entry, no missed enquiries overnight.

Barcode Scanning

Individual Asset Tracking

Every physical item in your fleet gets its own record — serial number, current status, location, and complete hire history. Know exactly which unit went out on which job, what condition it came back in, and how much revenue each asset has generated.

Reorder Point Alerts

Maintenance Scheduling

Schedule servicing based on time intervals or usage hours. Availability automatically blocks during scheduled service windows so the same asset can't be booked while it's in the workshop. No more missed services because a machine was out on hire.

Batch and Lot Tracking

Damage & Condition Tracking

Point of rental software with photo check-in, digital contracts, and deposit management at every handover. Document equipment condition with images and notes before it leaves and when it returns. Full evidence trail for deposit claims, insurance, and customer disputes.

Serial Number Tracking

Deposit Management

Track security deposits, process refunds, and manage damage claims with a complete audit trail. Deposits are linked to the hire contract and the condition report so every decision is documented. No lost paperwork, no manual reconciliation.

eCommerce Integrations

Hire Contracts & E-Signatures

Auto-generate hire agreements using your own terms and conditions. Customers sign digitally at check-out — no printing, no scanning, no chasing signatures. Every contract is stored against the booking record and retrievable instantly.

Purchase Order Management

Pricing Rules & Coupons

Set tiered rates that automatically discount longer hires. Create pricing structures — full rate on day one, reduced rates from day two — and apply them across your catalogue in bulk. Add coupon codes for promotions or account-specific discounts without touching individual product prices.

Purchase Order Management

Customer Management

Manage equipment across multiple rental locations or depots. Transfer assets between sites with full tracking. See availability across your entire operation in one view.

Purchase Order Management

Multi-Location Management

Manage equipment across multiple depots or rental locations from one account. Transfer assets between sites with full tracking. See availability across your entire operation in a single view — no switching between systems or spreadsheets per location.

Stock Transfer Management

Reports & Utilisation Analytics

Understand which equipment earns and which sits idle. Product performance reports show revenue, hire count, and utilisation rate per item for any date range. Availability forecasting lets you spot shortfalls before a customer asks.

When You Need More Than Rental Management

Start with Rentalux. Scale without switching systems.

Most rental businesses outgrow their booking tool within 2 years and face a painful migration to a new vendor. With Hykmah, you just enable another product.

When you're ready for field service management (Operon), inventory tracking (Stockwise), or other capabilities, they're already part of your Hykmah subscription. Same platform, same users, same data.

No new vendor. No migration. No integration project.

Unlike standalone rental tools, Rentalux grows with your business.

What's Available:

  • Operon — Field service management for equipment delivery, installation, and maintenance jobs
  • Stockwise — Inventory management for consumables, accessories, and spare parts
  • Recuron — Subscription and recurring billing for long-term hire agreements

Plus 10+ more products across operations, commerce, engagement, and industry verticals

All included in your Professional ($50) or Premium ($350) tier. No additional product fees.
