Schedule jobs, allocate machines and operators, capture signed dockets on site, and turn worklogs into invoices — in one cloud platform built for plant hire.
Web app · iOS & Android · $10 per user / month
The weekly board shows every machine against every job. Worklogs come back signed. The summary tells you who and what is out today — and what needs a service.
Here's what running a hire fleet by hand looks like — and what changes when every job lives in Trakhire.
THE PROBLEM
DONE BY HAND
WITH TRAKHIRE
✕ Worklogs sit in the ute or a pile on the desk — hours get worked and never invoiced.
✓ Every approved worklog flows straight into an invoice.
✕ Hours are pieced together from memory and phone calls at the end of the week.
✓ The crew logs time in the app against the job, as it happens.
✕ The same machine gets promised to two jobs on the same day.
✓ One live calendar per machine — once it's allocated, it shows as busy to everyone.
✕ The client rings for updates, and paper dockets get disputed weeks later.
✓ The customer signs the docket on site or by SMS, so they see the work as it's done.
✕ Nobody is sure who's responsible for a job, so things fall between people.
✓ Every task has an assignee and a record of who did what, and when.
People, plant, paperwork and cost — on one record, so nothing is typed twice.
Licences, tickets and onboarding. Expiring tickets are flagged before anyone steps on a machine they're not certified for.
Crew and gear allocation in one view. Plan, allocate, approve and invoice from the same dashboard.
Signed on site or by SMS the moment work is done. No paper to chase, nothing retyped.
Live job costing against the quote, while the plant is still on site. RELEASING IN 2027
One record follows the job the whole way — the office, the yard and the crew all work from it.
Put the job on the calendar with its site, dates and the plant it needs.
Assign machines and operators together — tickets and licences checked as you go.
The crew completes the worklog in the app; the docket is signed on site or by SMS.
Approve the worklog and invoice it, with job costing already attached.
No longer rely on one person to answer daily questions about where people or machines are, hours worked, timesheet approvals, and invoicing. Trakhire provides all this information in one centralised screen, giving everyone quick and easy access to the answers they need.
Every item of plant is booked against a site and a date, so the yard sees what is out, what is due back and what is free tomorrow — without ringing three people.
Live costs run against each job, so a site going over shows up while there is still time to act — not when the invoice lands. AVAILABLE IN NEXT RELEASE COMING IN 2027
Crew are allocated like the gear, with licences and tickets on the employee record and expiries flagged before they lapse.
From a single yard to a multi-depot fleet, the same questions come up every morning — and the same board answers them.
A handful of machines and a small crew. Trakhire replaces the whiteboard and the spreadsheet — allocations, tickets, dockets and invoicing in one place.
Keep track of which attachments are assigned to each machine to ensure nothing is left onsite or missed when charging.
Machines moving between depots and sites. Every item and operator belongs to a location and a job, so moves are visible rather than guessed at.
From the people who run the board every morning.
We could never go to back to spreadsheets after switching to Trakhire, best move we ever made
So easy to use, from booking in jobs to getting the teams daily dockets nothing is missed.
We were scared to change from paper dockets but with the help of Trakhire it was made so easy. We now dont miss invoicing anything
No. Trakhire is cloud based — the office works in it from a browser, and there is nothing to fit to your plant.
On site, on the spot, or by SMS. Whichever way it is signed, the docket comes back attached to the job it belongs to instead of riding around in a truck.
No. The approved worklog and its job costing go through to the invoice, so the figures come from the same record the crew signed rather than being typed up again.
Each employee record holds their licences and tickets, and Trakhire alerts you automatically as they come up for expiry.
The hire desk runs the board on the web. The Trakhire app puts the day's jobs and machines on the operator's phone, takes the docket signature at the machine, and gets the signed work back to the office the same day.
If the first time you know a job went over is when you sit down to invoice it, the number is history. Here is what changes when cost moves with the job.
At five machines a whiteboard is enough. At fifteen it starts lying to you — and by then the other two questions the hire desk needs answered are already out of reach.
The machine is off hire and the job is still un-invoiced, because the docket is in the truck. Here is what closes that gap without adding paperwork.
