Goods & Trade

Automation for equipment rental.

Utilisation is the whole business, and it leaks through late returns, missed maintenance and unbilled damage. A Convoy CIS keeps every unit accounted for.

01 / The friction

What we map first.

Before anything gets built, we go and look. These are the patterns we expect to find in a equipment rental operation. The recon confirms which ones are actually costing you, and which are fine as they are.

  • Availability answered by walking the yard or calling someone
  • Contracts and damage waivers completed on paper
  • Overdue returns noticed late, so revenue is simply lost
  • Maintenance cycles tracked by hours nobody records
  • Damage assessed inconsistently and often unbilled
02 / The build

What a CIS would run.

Scoped and priced from the recon, deployed in your environment, owned by you. A human stays in command of every judgement call.

01

Availability & booking

Live availability with reservations and conflicts handled automatically.

02

Contracts & delivery

Agreements generated and signed; delivery and pickup scheduled and routed.

03

Returns & overdue

Overdue units surfaced the day they are late with follow-up staged.

04

Maintenance & damage

Service cycles tracked to hours; damage documented and billed.

03 / The dashboard

This is how your board could look.

Illustrative only. Every figure here is invented to show the shape of the board. Convoy has no shipped builds yet and does not present demo numbers as client results.

04 / Wired into

Your tools stay your tools.

A CIS integrates rather than replaces. These are the systems we would expect to wire into here. If yours is not listed, it is almost certainly still workable.
