Inspection Checklists
Updated 2 weeks ago
Maintenance (service) records give you a way to record maintenance information a specific item. However, what about general routine inspections, such as the pre-hire and post hire inspections many hire businesses perform for quality assurance and safety? For this, there are Inspection checklists.
Pending (without a finish date) Inspection Checklists will now count toward item availability.
This means inspection checklists will show in the Availability Screen and produce double booking alerts on the Sales Record Screen.
Ensure you specify a Finish Date on all completed inspection checklists to make sure your availability is accurate.

Pre Hire and Post Hire Inspections
Items can be set up to prompt you to perform pre-hire and post-hire inspection checklists as they are added to a Quote or Booking. In addition, HirePOS can be configured to automatically create a 'pending' post-hire inspection on return for you, effectively ensuring the item remains unavailable after return until the inspection has been completed.
