HireHop Equipment Rental Software now gives you the ability to add line items into a job rental  supplying list.  These items are automatically calculated at a required percentage, based on the prices certain types of other items in the list.

In a job supplying list, you can add chargeable items such as hire, sales, labor and custom items.  What if you want to add a damage waiver percentage, commission or an extra tax that updates itself when any other price in the list changes.  We call these calculated items, and you can have as many as you want in a job, set each one to any percentage as well as set each one to be dependent on a single or multiple type of other items.

Some examples of there uses are as follows:

• Damage Waiver
  A calculated item can be added as a damage waiver insurance if the customer doesn’t have sufficient insurance.
• Commission
  You can add a calculated item based on every priced item in the list to add an additional commission.
• Tax
  If you want to add taxes inside the supplying list instead of in the invoice, you can do so here.

When a calculated item is in an invoice, it works the same as before, except it is based on the totals in the invoice.  For example, a three week hire comes to $300 and you issue an invoice weekly at $100.  The calculated item in the supplying list is at 10%, so it will be $30, however for each of the three $100 invoices, the calculated item will be $10.

Link each depot or company within your organisation to different accounting software using just one equipment rental software.

Some rental businesses have different companies in one depot, others have a different company in each depot, and each company uses different accounting software or different installations of the same software, being one for each company.  You want to use just one rental software installation that synchronises with all of them

If you have multiple depots or companies in your group and want to use just one piece of equipment rental software that shares data across all depots, that allows cross depot rentals, etc. but each depot uses different accounting software, HireHop is now the first equipment rental software to solve the problem.

HireHop has also added various other new features, such as:

• Set up multiple accounts packages linked to different depots or virtual depots – As many hire companies operate more than one company in the same depot, or different companies at different depots, and sometimes using different accounting software for different companies or sharing some but not others, etc., HireHop has developed a simple new and unique feature to handle this complex problem.  HireHop has the ability to assign different accounting software company accounts, from Sage 50, Sage Business Cloud, QuickBooks and Xero (with more to come), to different depots or virtual depots.
• New and improved integrations with Xero and Quickbooks, including live sync functionality – this means that as soon as an invoice, PO or credit note is approved in HireHop it will appear in your accounts package instantly, and payments will come back into HireHop seamlessly. View setup pages for Xero here, and Quickbooks here.
• New accounts integrations to Sage 50 and Sage Business Cloud.
• Batch/bulk invoicing that can be forward or backdated – Available at “Home→Management→Batch Invoicing”, simply choose the jobs you wish to invoice and set the invoice status (draft, awaiting approval or approved) and the date you wish to invoice up-to. Once issued you can even email the invoices off to all the relevant clients at the click of a button.
• Early returns – a new option has been added to Jobs to ‘Allow early returns’. If this option is selected, an item will be charged up-to the date that it is checked in. For example if you have 2 items on a job for 2 weeks but Item 1 was returned after 1 week, with early returns enabled, Item 1 would be charged for 1 week and Item 2 for the full 2 weeks. If early returns is disabled, both items will be charged for the full 2 weeks.
• Part invoicing up-to a date on normal and open-ended hires – When creating an invoice simply choose the date you want the invoice up-to. The date can be the current date, in the past or in the future.
• Invoices, credit notes and purchase orders can have prefixes, and these prefixes can differ for each accounting package.
• US sales tax support – HireHop now has the ability to better utilise US sales tax, setting each depot (or virtual depot) to a default rate, with the ability to change that rate or manually enter the tax amount charged.
• Ledger correction payments when syncing – If you want to add a payment in HireHop that is not sent to the accounts software.

More essential accounting reports are now available in HireHop Equipment Rental Software to not only give you more analysis, but to also give you more control over your finances.

We have now added an unapproved transactions report that lets you see all invoices, credit notes and purchase orders that have not yet been approved or are awaiting approval by an authorised user, enabling you to make sure that every invoice is issued that needs to be.

We have also replaced the invoices to be exported report with a transactions to be exported.  This gives a list of all invoices, credit notes and purchase orders that need to be exported/synchronised with your accounting software.  You also have the ability to remove transactions from the export queue, preventing them going over to your accounting software.

Invoices, credit notes and purchase orders end up in the export queue due to either a failed sync with your accounting software, or you do not have live mode selected.

The supplying lists within jobs now have additional features to improve workflow, speed and efficiency.  You can even easily print off hire documents or partial quotes using only selected items or sections within the list with ease.

For larger quotes that contain thousands of items or for larger companies with numerous jobs, loading and building quotes can take slightly longer than usual due to HireHop having to continually calculate the availability of items.  You can now suspend the availability for the job during your session while you update it in order to speed up loading.  You can also by default for example set all jobs that are lets say more than two weeks away to automatically have this calculation suspended, until you decided to switch it back on.

HireHop now enables each user to position and hide columns in the supplying list so that they can have a layout that suits them, showing the information that they want and need.

When editing labor, rental stock or labor, you can now substitute them with an alternative item more easily without effecting the quantity, pricing, etc. by clicking the padlock button part of the picklist button.

HireHop also has a new feature and new documents that enable you to create off hire documents or partial quotes.  All you need to do is select all the items or headings to be included and then print either the off hire or selected items quote, and only the items selected will appear and be tallied in the document.  Yo can even setup the document to show the not included items in a different color if you want.
