There are several ways to rent or sell extra items in ProPlanner. This may be a service, as well as an item or accessory. Below is an explanation in which scenario it is best to choose which option.


Article

  • Can you rent and/or sell.
  • Works with stock, not with the calendar. 
  • Usually this involves items that are relatively cheap and plentiful. 
  • The tablet app allows you to add items at the check-out (in ProPlanner web, this is also possible of course)
  • If the marketing module was used, it also allows management of which items should be offered as upselling for which resource.
  • Examples:
    • Moving blankets
    • Carts
    • Toilet rolls

  • Examples:
    • Roof racks/roof box
    • Child seat
    • Snow chains
  • Is usually chosen for of one of the following reasons
    • The rental item has a significant value as an asset and is therefore not available in abundance. E.g. roof box
    • The rental item needs to be scheduled on the calendar screen instead of working with stock


Surcharge

  • To be determined on price
  • Always charged, either once per resource on the contract or per unit (e.g. per day).

  • Can be linked to checklist or carwash module
  • Can still be added via tablet app at check-out and/or check-in
