Managing Multiple Sets of Terms and Conditions in HirePOS
Overview
Many hire and rental businesses begin with a paper-based workflow that includes:
New account customer application forms
Hire agreement forms
Rental contract forms
Account customer sign-up paperwork
Terms and conditions agreements
Driver’s licence collection
Credit applications and onboarding forms
The goal is usually the same:
Keep customer information accurate and up to date
Ensure customers agree to your terms and conditions
Collect enough information for your business to safely dispatch equipment
HirePOS provides several digital tools that work together to achieve this.
Rather than relying on a single large onboarding application form signed once forever, HirePOS focuses on:
Progressive customer onboarding
Digital hire approvals
Live customer information updates
Per-hire agreement signing
Mobile-friendly information collection
This creates a smoother digital workflow while still allowing businesses to collect the information they require before dispatching equipment.
Core Tools
Terms and Conditions
Your business-wide terms and conditions are configured in:
Setup → Preferences → Terms and Conditions
These terms can then be presented to customers during the online quote, booking, and invoice process.
Customer Information Form
The Customer Information Form allows customers to submit or update information such as:
Contact details
Billing information
Driver’s licence details
Driver’s licence photos
Selfie verification photos
Credit card details
Business and account customer information
HirePOS provides the fields and tools for data collection, however each business is responsible for deciding what information they require before dispatching a hire.
Customers are not blocked from submitting partial information. In many cases, collecting some information early is better than collecting none at all.
Customer records can also be manually updated directly within Setup → Customers. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Important Notes

Businesses decide what level of information is required before dispatch

Operational approval and dispatch decisions remain with the business
