Events and rental: Invoicing software for marquee rental companies
Invoicing software for marquee rental companies that brings hire days, extra build work, damage and added parts from job card and quote into one invoice you check first.
Where invoices stall for marquee rental companies.
A marquee invoice often differs from the quote. The customer kept the tent an extra day, the crew had to carry everything through a narrow gate, or an extra side wall was added at the last minute. At marquee rental companies that extra work sits on a paper job card, in a message from the crew leader or only in someone's memory. The office invoices from the quote and forgets the extras, or has to chase the crew to find out what actually happened. Damage to canvas is sometimes only found weeks later, once the invoice has been paid and the customer is no longer around to explain.

From finished work to paid invoice.
Collect hire and extras
After the strike, the agreed hire period from the quote, the actual build and strike dates from the schedule and extra work from the job cards are already in the software. Additional parts supplied on site come from the equipment records. Everything is ready as the basis for the invoice, each line pointing back to its source.
Review the differences
The office sees where reality departs from the quote: extra hire days, more build hours, a different tent or damage on return. For each difference someone decides whether to invoice it, waive it or discuss it with the customer first. Photos and the customer's signature on the job card are right there.
Send the invoice
The approved invoice goes to the customer with a payment link and lines they will recognise from quote and job card. Reminders go out automatically and the office sees per job what has been paid. Damage still under investigation can follow later on a separate invoice. Nobody has to retype anything.
Invoicing from the same software.
Marquee rental companies now usually raise invoices separately, based on the quote, and extra work gets added later or never. In the invoicing software the quote, schedule, job card and returns record are already together. The job card is the source for extra work, the returns record for damage and the quote for what was agreed. Deposits received are offset. Your bookkeeper can look along or receive an export for tax and year end.
Invoice after strike or in stages
For a party tent over a weekend, one invoice after the strike makes sense. For large events or long hires, such as a temporary storage hall, many companies take a deposit and send a final invoice, or bill periodically. The software handles both, so every stage has its own basis.
Damage on the invoice or separately
Putting damage straight onto the final invoice is efficient, but sometimes the extent only becomes clear after cleaning or repair. A separate damage invoice gives time to assess it properly, though customers like it less. Agreeing in advance how and when damage will be reported prevents most disputes.
Get extra work approved first
Extra work that arises on site holds up better if the customer saw and confirmed it on the job card there and then. If that was not possible, the office can present it afterwards with photos. The software shows which extra work lines are confirmed and which are not, so the office handles them deliberately.

Read the storyWhat we set up for your invoicing.
From the start the invoice collects hire period, extra work and added parts from quote, schedule and job card, with the differences set apart for the office and your payment terms, payment link and reminders in place. Together we walk through a job that ran exactly to quote, and a job where the tent stayed an extra day and a roof sheet came back damaged. Staged invoices for long hires and separate damage invoices are switched on when needed.

Explore pricing and optionsCan our bookkeeper work with this?
Yes. Your bookkeeper can look along at invoices and payments, or receive an export for tax and year end. Numbering, layout and payment terms are recorded at the start. Invoices go out with a payment link and reminders follow automatically, so the office only has to pick up the exceptions.
How do we handle a deposit?
A deposit received appears on the final invoice as an offset, so it only asks for the balance. Any extra work or damage is added on top. Because the payment status is in the same software, you see straight away what has come in and what is still open.
What if the crew forgets to note extra work?
Then it is not on the invoice. The software can, however, flag when actual build time ran well over the estimate with no extra work recorded. The office can then ask the crew what happened. Over time that helps crews fill in the job card more fully.
Can we invoice damage only after it has been repaired?
Yes. Damage recorded on return can stay open until the repair has been assessed. The final invoice then goes out without a damage line, and the damage follows as a separate invoice with photos, a description of the repair and its own payment link.
