Plant Hire Software That Tracks Assets, Not Just Orders
An excavator is not stock — it is a capital asset with a service schedule, an operating cost, a location and a return on investment you are answerable for. Sales Igniter tracks the booking and the machine, so you can see utilisation, maintenance cost and profit per unit without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.
Know where every machine is
Each excavator, telehandler, generator or tower light is tracked by asset number across yards and depots. You can see what is on hire, what is on the yard, what is off-hire for service and which site it is standing on right now.
Maintenance and ROI reporting
Record acquisition cost, supplier, service intervals and maintenance spend against each asset, then report on revenue and utilisation per machine. Fleet renewal decisions stop being a gut feeling.
Contracts, damage waivers and deposits
Generate the hire agreement as a signed PDF at the point of order, apply damage waiver and environmental charges as line items, and hold a deposit against the machine either as a charge or a stored card token.
Pricing follows the trade: day, week and month rates with prorating, weekend and bank-holiday rules, operated-hire surcharges, transport charged by distance from the yard, and negotiated rates for your account customers. Your hire desk raises orders and quotes from the admin side for phone and walk-in business, while contractors who prefer to self-serve can check availability and book online at six in the morning before the site opens. Unlimited staff logins are included — a meaningful saving against per-seat rental platforms.

Both are 100% open source, self-hosted and licensed per site — no per-booking fees and no per-seat charges.

Construction Equipment Rental on WooCommerce
Searching for construction equipment rental WooCommerce solutions usually turns up booking plugins that were built for appointments and then stretched to cover plant. Hiring an excavator is not booking a haircut: the machine has a serial number, an hour meter, a service interval, a deposit and a condition report, and it may be out for six weeks rather than an afternoon.
Sales Igniter is a WooCommerce equipment rental plugin built for exactly that. Each machine is tracked as an individual asset with its own history, long-duration hires are priced by week or month rather than forced into day rates, and turnaround time keeps a returned machine out of the calendar until it has been inspected. Because it installs into your own WooCommerce store, your hire catalogue, your customer accounts and your payment gateway all stay yours — with a one-time licence rather than a monthly fee that grows with your fleet.
