OPUS HIRE

Online bookings for hire companies, live in three weeks.

A customer picks a date on your website, sees what is actually available, books it, signs your terms and pays a deposit. Returns, bond holds and damage charges go to the same record and on to your accounting. Built on what we have learned from hire yards, then shaped to yours: your fleet, your terms, your rates, your brand. Fixed price.

WHAT IT FIXES

Take on more hires without adding more heads.

Three things every hire business recognises: the whiteboard, the text thread and the write-off. Each one costs money and staff time, and each one goes away when the booking is a proper record.

01

After-hours enquiries go to voicemail

And to the competitor with a booking page. Yours is always right and always open.

02

Two customers book the same trailer

Because the diary is a whiteboard and the phone rang twice. The system will not let it happen.

03

Damage gets written off

Because there was no photo, no signature and no bond. Now there are all three, and the charge has an invoice number.

The longer version, in the Journal.

ROUGH IT OUT

What the missed calls cost.

Two numbers you already know. The result is what those missed enquiries are worth, and what winning a third of them back would do. Bring the real figures to the call.

MISSED ENQUIRIES, PER MONTH

$4,680

$56,160 a year

Win a third of it back and Opus Hire pays for itself in about 6 months.

Illustration only. Revenue before costs; payback assumes one in three won and excludes the monthly plan. Results are not guaranteed.
