For rental companies

Rent the iron. Prove it was maintained.

A rental fleet and a service history usually live in two systems that never agree. PowerOps runs them on one equipment-centric core — track each unit on-rent and off-rent, run the PM between rentals, and bill from the contract, all against the same generator record.

One record for the whole life of every unit.

The generator you rent out is the generator you service, store, and rent again. When the rental status and the service history share the same record, you always know where a unit is, what it is doing, and what has been done to it.

On-rent / off-rent at a glance

Starting a contract puts a unit on rent; ending or cancelling returns it. The fleet view shows what is out, what is back, and what is available — without a separate rental spreadsheet.

The unit is the spine

Each generator carries make, model, serial, kW, ATS, and fuel type — plus its rental status and its full service history in the same place. Rent it, service it, rent it again, all on one record.

Bill from the contract

The rental contract carries the customer, the unit, and the terms, and drafts billing through the same invoicing flow the rest of the platform uses. The money side is not a second system.

Service the fleet between rentals — and prove it.

Rented iron that fails on a customer’s site is a reputation problem. The same platform that tracks the rental runs the maintenance and keeps the evidence.

PM cadence per unit

Each rental unit carries its own preventive-maintenance schedule, with a due / coming-due / overdue view and auto-generated work orders — so a unit gets serviced between rentals instead of going back out overdue.

Field capture on a phone

Capture readings, checklist results, photos, and serials against the specific unit, offline in the yard or on site, syncing when signal returns — no transcription back at the office.

A record you can hand over

Each service is written by the named, authenticated person who did it, at a server timestamp, and cannot be silently edited later — the maintenance history you can produce for a customer, an insurer, or a sale.

History that follows the asset

Every PM, repair, and reading stays attached to the unit for as long as you own it — so a machine’s condition and record are one lookup, whether it is on rent, in the yard, or being sold.

Two systems that never agree — or one that does.

A rental package and a separate service tool each know half of each unit. The value is in the half they never share — the maintained, documented history that makes rented iron worth more.

Frequently asked

What does generator service software do for a rental company?

It keeps the rental fleet and the service history in one place. PowerOps tracks each rental unit and its contract — on-rent, off-rent, returned — so you know where every generator is and what it is doing. The same units carry their full service history and preventive-maintenance cadence, so the machine you rent out is the machine you have serviced and can prove you serviced. A rental turns into billing through the standard invoice flow, without re-entering the unit or the customer.

Can it track which units are on rent and which are available?

Yes. Each rental unit carries a status that reflects the contract against it — starting a contract puts the unit on rent, ending or cancelling returns it — so the fleet view shows what is out, what is back, and what is available without a separate spreadsheet. Because units are the spine of the system, the same generator’s rental status and its service history live together.

Does it handle service and PM on the rental fleet, not just the rentals?

That is the point. Rental units are the same equipment records the service side runs on, so each unit holds its make, model, serial, kW, ATS, and fuel type plus a preventive-maintenance cadence and full history. You can run the PM between rentals, capture readings and photos in the field, and keep a permanent record of every service the unit has had — the difference between renting iron and renting maintained, documented iron.

How does a rental become an invoice?

The rental contract carries the customer, the unit, and the terms, and drafts billing through the same invoicing flow the rest of the platform uses — so the money side is not a second system. Nothing advances to an invoice on a timer; a named person creates it, and that step is written to an attributed record like every other transition.

Is this built for rental, or a general tool with a rental add-on bolted on?

Rental runs on the same equipment-centric core as the service platform — the units, the history, the PM program, the mobile capture, and the append-only record are shared, not siloed. So a company that both rents and services generators runs one system for the whole life of each unit, instead of reconciling a rental tool against a service tool.
