Fleet · multi-location

Know where every car is

Run two yards or one-way hires and your cars drift. A Jimny goes out from Christchurch and gets dropped in Queenstown, and now the whiteboard is lying to you. Glovebox tracks each car's home base and works out where it actually is — so the calendar, and the booking engine, keep up with the fleet instead of the other way round.

The view

The calendar shows where each car actually is

Every vehicle row carries its home base. When a car is sitting idle somewhere that isn't home, the fleet calendar tints that stretch in the other location's colour — a quiet flag that the car is parked away and probably needs relocating back. No extra screen to check; it is right there on the timeline you already use.

A shaded strip on a row means the car is idle away from its base.

How it works

Four things working quietly in the background

01 A home base for every car Each vehicle belongs to a location — your Christchurch yard, your Queenstown depot, wherever it normally lives. That base is what "away" is measured against.
02 Away from base, at a glance Finish a one-way hire or a transfer in another town and the calendar shades that idle period in the location's colour. You can see which cars are sitting out-of-town without opening a single booking.
03 Bookable from where it is Availability follows the car. While it is parked in Queenstown it shows up for Queenstown pickups and drops out of the home-base list — so you do not promise a customer a car that is three hours away.
04 Transfers keep it honest While a car is mid-relocation it counts as still at the yard it left, not the one it is heading to. The system does not pretend a vehicle has teleported; it knows it is en route.

A worked example

One Jimny, two towns

Say a Christchurch Jimny goes out on a one-way hire and gets dropped in Queenstown. The hire bar ends, and the rest of that row shades over — the car is now idle, three hundred-odd kilometres from where it belongs.

From that moment, a customer searching Queenstown pickups will see it; a customer searching Christchurch will not. Book a transfer or another one-way hire to bring it home, and it is back on the Christchurch list — worked out for the pickup time you are quoting, not just where the car happens to sit right now.

Who it is for

Built for operators whose cars do not stay put

If you run more than one yard, do one-way hires between towns, or move cars around on relocations and Freelegs transfers, the hardest question is usually the simplest one: where is that car right now, and can I rent it from here? Glovebox answers it on the same calendar your front desk already lives in — no separate tracking sheet, no end-of-day reconcile of where everything ended up.
