Designed and developed in-house - we've been creating Hire and Rental software since 1980's

We have a wide variety of different versions of our Hire and Rental software that suits most requirements. Please assume that we quite probably have a version that suits you and even matches everything on your 'wish list', for we'd be surpised if we didn't! Even if there's anything you want that is 'unusual' or does not appear in lists of features, below, as we may have or be working on it - please enquire.

'Hire-Pac'software packages that employ industry standard features specifically aimed as an economic solution for smaller hire organisations or as a 'starter' for larger hire and rental companies. Fully compatible with their bigger brother, Hire-Kit, as below so future expansion may occur whenever required without any limitations.

'Hire-Kit' has all the features of 'Hire-Pac' and more, it also allows greater selection and Special Modifications facility to add special features that are unique to you - multi user, multi depot, multi company hire and rental systems with a features list to match anything on the market.

All JCL software systems can be expanded upon and are upward compatible, use SQL, are fully Windows compliant, can link to other software such as CRM, Excel spreadsheets and other MS Office products, uses Crystal Reports, links to Sage and other accounts ....
