Welcome. This manual follows your day in JupitaPos RentalPOS and points you to the guide for each job, with pictures of the real screens.

Who this manual is for

You deliver and collect. On site you hand the items over and take them back exactly as the yard would: the units, their condition and readings. You take no money: the deposit and the bill are the desk’s.

  • System role: Rental driver (rental_driver).
  • What you see and what you do not: Today and the agreements. Not money, prices, maintenance or reports.

Where you start

  • Your landing screen: Hire → Today (/rental/today).
  • Working offline: Hire needs a connection in this release; take the readings on paper if the site has none and record them on return.

A day at work

  1. Sign in — Sign in.
  2. Going out: the agreements marked delivery are yours; on site, tick the units, record the condition, press Items handed over — Hand items over and take them back.
  3. Due back: on collection, tick what came back and its condition; anything damaged gets a charge; press Items back.
  4. Tell the desk about anything the hirer wants changed.

When something goes wrong

  • The hirer wants to keep items longer — the desk extends or rebooks; do not take items off the agreement yourself.
  • Items are not there at collection — leave them unticked; they are recorded missing and the manager decides.

Getting help

  • The hire desk changes agreements and takes money.
  • The yard attendant prepares and services items.
  • The Help Center: Help & Training › Role-Based Manuals in the menu, or the ? at the top of any screen — Find help.
