Frequently Asked Questions
Construction equipment hire management software helps plant hire businesses manage equipment availability, contracts, scheduling, servicing, billing, and financial performance in a single system. It is designed for the more complex logistics involved in moving plant between customers, depots and construction projects.
Baseplan’s wet hire functionality connects resource planning, equipment allocation, planning calendars, billing and labour charges. This helps businesses supplying plants with operators manage both sides of the job rather than tracking the machine in one system and labour in another.
Centralised availability and allocation information gives rental teams a clearer understanding of where equipment is committed and what remains available. This reduces dependence on separate spreadsheets, whiteboards and individual staff knowledge when responding to new construction hire enquiries.
Baseplan connects asset information, hire contracts, planning and service activities so teams can work from consistent operational data. That makes it easier to understand where equipment has been allocated and coordinate assets moving between projects, customers and depots.
Baseplan supports preventative maintenance planning alongside breakdown management, service scheduling, OEM recalls and field service bulletins. This helps construction-hire businesses incorporate maintenance into routine fleet operations rather than waiting for equipment to fail on-site.
Baseplan provides visibility into utilisation and financial contribution, enabling businesses to compare how individual assets and parts of the fleet are performing. This can inform decisions about future fleet investment, disposal and where additional equipment is genuinely required.
Baseplan’s mobile capabilities allow field technicians, mechanics and office allocators to exchange job information digitally. Paperless workflows can reduce double handling while helping completed service information move more quickly into operational and billing processes.
Connecting returns, equipment condition, servicing and future allocations makes it easier to identify what needs to happen before an asset can be hired again. Faster information flow between the yard, workshop and rental desk can reduce avoidable periods where available plant sits idle.
Yes. Civil and infrastructure hire businesses often need to coordinate plant, operators, service teams and multiple job sites simultaneously. A purpose-built equipment ERP provides considerably more operational visibility than relying only on accounting software or generic project management tools.
Prioritise real-time fleet availability, wet hire and labour management, preventative servicing, equipment utilisation, mobile field workflows, contract billing and financial reporting. The software should also be able to support different customer, asset and regional workflows as the hire business expands.
