Equipment and vehicle rental
We have built two rental systems for one owner: heavy equipment in Qatar and vehicles in Dubai. Here is what each covers and which parts the second build reused from the first.
We built a heavy-equipment rental platform for a company in Qatar, then a vehicle-rental application for a company in Dubai under the same owner. Both run on a Laravel API, MySQL and a Next.js front end. A client coming back with a second business is the best evidence we have that the first one worked, and those two systems are the whole of our record in this sector.
A rental business has to know which machines are where, until when, at what rate, and who owes what. Spreadsheets stop working once the fleet and the customer list grow, usually because two people can't see the same answer at the same moment.
The front end is built for office staff. It covers the full cycle from quote to statement:
Vehicles bring their own paperwork and their own kinds of dispute, so this one needed different detail:
The vehicle application reused the rental-contract and billing core from the equipment platform, which made the second build faster. The parts that differ sit around that core: a machine goes out on a rate card with delivery and return tracking, while a car goes out with a deposit, a fuel level and a condition check. Both need the same underlying answers about availability, contract terms and money owed.
If you run more than one kind of rental, this is the question to ask early: what is really the same across them? Getting that boundary right is what makes the next line of business cheaper to add.
Equipment register, availability and reservations, rate cards, rental contracts, delivery/return tracking, invoicing and utilisation reporting for a Qatar heavy-equipment rental company. Laravel, MySQL, Next.js.
Vehicle register, bookings, rental agreements with deposits and mileage terms, handover and return checks, fines pass-through, invoicing and fleet reporting for a Dubai vehicle-rental company. Second rental platform for the same owner.
No. Both systems were built for one owner's businesses, and we don't offer them as a product. If an off-the-shelf rental system already fits how you work, it may be the better choice, and we would say so.
Our published rental work is heavy equipment and vehicles. For other assets, the availability, contract and billing logic may still apply, so tell us what you rent and how you charge for it.
