Frequently Asked Questions
The current Baseplan page is built around trenching and shoring rentals, sales and service; trench boxes and support assets; compliance records; recurring billing; mobile inspections; and project-level reporting.
Trenching and shoring rental software helps specialist hire businesses manage trench boxes, shields, shoring systems, and related equipment through rental, servicing, inspection, billing, and asset allocation. Baseplan connects these activities with sales and financial information in a single ERP environment.
Yes. Baseplan provides real-time visibility into equipment availability and allocation, helping hire teams understand which assets are available, committed to a customer or being used on a project.
Baseplan can incorporate inspections, certifications and safety records into equipment workflows so information is easier to find before equipment is supplied to the site. This can support internal compliance processes and audit readiness, although Australian businesses remain responsible for meeting their applicable WHS obligations.
Excavation work carries significant safety risks, including ground collapse. Under the model WHS framework, construction work carried out in or near a trench deeper than 1.5 metres is considered high-risk and requires an SWMS; businesses should also check the requirements with their applicable state or territory regulator.
Yes. Baseplan brings trenching and shoring rental contracts, equipment sales, servicing, and maintenance into a single ERP. This reduces double-handling when a business has customers purchasing some equipment while hiring and servicing other assets.
Baseplan connects quoting, rental contracts, equipment allocation and invoicing so information can move through the transaction rather than being manually recreated at each stage. This can reduce administration and billing errors in complex hire operations.
Yes. Baseplan’s mobile tools allow crews to update equipment information, log inspections and capture signatures while working away from the office. Field updates can then become available to office teams without waiting for paperwork to return from the site.
Long-duration shoring jobs require accurate equipment allocation, contract information and ongoing billing. A purpose-built ERP keeps the operational and commercial sides of the hire connected so equipment remaining on site continues to be visible to both rental and finance teams.
Useful reports include fleet utilisation, equipment availability, maintenance status, rental performance, financial contribution and results by asset, project or site. Baseplan provides configurable dashboards and reporting across these areas.
Prioritise real-time equipment allocation, rental contracts, recurring billing, inspections and certification records, mobile field access, servicing, financial reporting and a strong quote-to-invoice workflow. The system should be capable of managing the safety-critical aspects of shoring equipment without adding administrative complexity.
