How much is your yard losing?
Nine quick questions about how your branch runs. You get a score and a rough rand figure straight away, and a free report on where to look first.

- Built from what goes wrong at real hire counters
How it works
From quote to statement, in one place
Each step feeds the next. Nothing is typed twice, and every machine, rand and signature is on record.
01
Quote
Pick machines from live availability. Turn the quote into a contract in one click.
02
Contract
Credit limit and on-stop checks first. Safety checklist, deposit and signature on screen.
03
Delivery
The driver gets the job on the phone, routed. The customer signs and the note is emailed on site.
04
Off-hire
Return with hours, fuel and damage captured. The machine goes back to the yard or the workshop.
05
Invoice
Interim or month-end, at the cheapest rate, with weekends and public holidays handled.
06
Statement
Statements to every debtor in one run. Export to Xero, Sage, Pastel or QuickBooks.
The rate engine
The cheapest rate, worked out every time
Your counter staff shouldn't have to work out whether 13 days is two weeks and three days, or a month. HireFlow checks every mix of day, week and month rates and charges the lowest. Try it.
- Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays charged or not, per contract
- Down days and half days come off automatically
- Discounts over your limit need a manager's approval
HireFlow charges
R0
Example TLB rates. A week counts as 5 charged days and a month as 20; each company sets its own.
Everything in one system
Built around how a hire branch really works
Designed by someone who has worked a hire counter for years. The screens follow the job, not the other way round.
Job cards and services
Your fleet and customers' machines. Labour, parts from stock, quotes and sign-off. Service and inspection reminders by hours or date.
Stock takes and yard counts
Blind counts with the variance in rand, and yard counts that find missing machines before the customer does.
Online credit applications
Customers apply and sign on their phone with ID and bank letter uploaded, POPIA consent included. Approve with a limit.
Invoices and credit notes
Invoices by email or WhatsApp with a view-online link. Credit notes with their own numbering, always against the invoice.
Utilisation and payback
Revenue, utilisation and payback per machine, and a plant-on-site report per customer and per site.
Control
Stop money walking out the door
Most hire losses aren't break-ins. They're a quiet discount, a back-dated off-hire, a credit note nobody checked. HireFlow closes those gaps.
- Approvals: big discounts, credits, refunds and back-dated off-hires need a manager
- Daily cash-up per person, with shortfalls flagged
- Roles: drivers never see money; only the owner manages admins
- Every change logged, with two-step sign-in and nightly backups

AI assistant
Ask your yard a question
The assistant reads your live data and answers in plain words: who owes you, what's free tomorrow, what's due for a service. It drafts quotes and payment reminders for you to check.
Answers come from your own records and show what was looked up. Included in the monthly price.
