Book serialised machines by the day, hold a bond, and keep servicing and compliance on track, one record per machine.

Friday afternoon
A machine comes back damaged with no evidence
The floor sander is back with a cracked housing and no photo of how it left, so the argument is your word against theirs. The whiteboard of what is out has not matched reality since Tuesday.
What the pickup captures
One record per machine at handover
Condition photos out and back, the machine and its details, a bond and a signature. Serialised gear keeps its own history, so a dispute has evidence, not opinions.
A dispute meets a timestamped photo, not a guess.
Pickup handover
6 stepsEverything a item handover needs, on a phone at the counter.
Equipment hire keeps the full handover, and each machine carries its own record.
Evidence, not opinions
Charge damage against the bond with photos attached
When a machine comes back damaged, the charge is raised against the held bond with the condition photos attached. The evidence was captured at pickup, so the conversation is short.
The record does the arguing for you.

What you will not need
Glovebox suits serialised machines you track one by one. Bulk consumable stock counted by quantity is on the roadmap, not shipped, so we will not pretend it is here.
Your equipment hire website, included
Every plan comes with a themed, mobile-first website with booking built in. Here is how it looks on the Express theme.

Frequently asked questions
Can Glovebox run equipment and tool hire?
Yes, for serialised machines you track individually. Take online bookings and a bond, capture condition photos, and turn on servicing or compliance for the items that need it.
Can I take a bond on equipment hire?
Yes. The bond is authorised on the customer's card at pickup and released on return, or captured against damage, so you are covered.
Can I track servicing and compliance?
Yes. The maintenance module tracks servicing schedules and compliance dates on the machines that require them, so nothing overruns a service.
Does it handle bulk consumable stock?
Not yet. Glovebox suits serialised, tracked machines today; quantity-based pooled stock is on the roadmap, so get in touch if that is part of your hire.
Can I move my existing bookings over?
Yes. We help you import your current bookings and fleet when you start, so you are not re-keying a season of data by hand.
Do I need a new website?
No, but you get one included. A themed, mobile-first site with booking built in comes with every plan, or you can embed the widget on the site you already have.
Is there a setup fee?
No. There is no setup fee and no per-booking cut, and the trial runs 90 days with no credit card to start.
