What is a Service?
As well as renting or selling products, you might also supply services. For example, some products might require setup or operation, or you might provide additional services such as consultancy or drivers.
The service feature in OnRent can assist you with managing your additional services:
Create a list of the services that you supply
Add services to an Order and choose how you charge
Allocate users and contacts as resources to your services
How do Services work?
Services work in a similar way to products and stock levels. A person or service isn’t added directly to an order. Rather, a person is made a bookable resource for a service that you add to an order.
For example:
You might set up a service called “Crane Driver” with a day rate of $100.
Once added, you can make a contact or user a bookable resource for that service.
Then, you’ll add the “Crane Driver” service to an order and can pick from a list of bookable resources to assign a user or contact.
