How it works

Follow one rental,
shelf to invoice.

Watch one camera go from your catalogue to a customer, back to the shelf, and onto a GST invoice. Same seven steps for any kind of rental business.

How it works / 01 of 07

01

Add inventory

Create a product, then a SKU. A serialized SKU gets one asset per physical unit, with a code, a location and a status. A bulk SKU stores a quantity.

SerializedBulkBundles
02

Add people

Add a name and phone, and mark the person as a customer, freelancer or partner. Email, company, PAN or GSTIN are optional. ID files are stored, not reviewed.

CustomerFreelancerPartner
03

Create an order

Pick the person, add products, SKUs or a bundle, and set the dates. A draft holds no stock, so a quote never blocks anyone else. Record a deposit if you take one.

Draft holds nothingDeposit on order
04

Reserve

Reserve when the dates should come off availability. RentalOS checks stock first, counting other reserved and dispatched orders, and skips units in maintenance.

Stock checkBack to draft releases
05

Dispatch

Dispatch sends the whole order out. The items stay held and cancel is no longer available. Still out after the return day? The dashboard lists it as overdue.

Whole orderOverdue on dashboard
06

Return

Return the order when the items are back. Unticked units can be booked again. Units ticked as damaged go to maintenance until an Owner frees them. Note UPI, cash or bank payments.

Damaged → MaintenancePayment notes
07

Invoice

Once an order is reserved, dispatched or returned, generate a GST invoice PDF. Set GST, your GSTIN and the rate in Settings. The activity log keeps every important change.
