Equipment tracking for hire businesses

Hire gear only earns when it's out, and it only stays safe if it's tested on time. Stoqro keeps both in view: what's with customers, what's in the yard, and which tags are about to run out.

Sound familiar?

  • Gear comes back but nobody records it, so the list still says it's out.

  • A machine goes out the door with an out-of-date tag.

  • Counting what's in the yard takes a whole morning.

How Stoqro helps

  • Each hire as a job

    Use your docket or contract number as the job. Scan gear onto it as it goes out, and back to the yard when it returns.

  • A check before every hire

    Switch on the pre-hire check and staff tick “I've checked the lead, plug and casing for damage” when gear goes to a job. It's saved with the move.

  • Out-of-date tags stopped at the door

    Overdue gear shows a red warning when someone tries to send it out. You decide whether staff can carry on after the warning or are blocked.

  • Load a truck in one go

    Scan item after item, check the list, then move them all to the truck or the job with one tap.

  • What's out, at a glance

    The dashboard counts each type of item in the yard, out on hire and in vehicles. Tap any number to see exactly where they are.

  • Days out, per hire

    Equipment-days per job shows how long each item was out, worked out from the scans.

Test & tag for hire businesses

The intervals table in AS/NZS 3760 treats hire equipment on its own: inspect it before each hire, and test and tag it every 3 months. Set a 3-month interval for your hire gear and Stoqro reminds you before tags run out.

General information only. Check with your tester or your state's safety regulator.

How test & tag works in Stoqro

Gear you might track

  • Generators
  • Pressure washers
  • Floor sanders
  • Demolition hammers
  • Heaters and fans
  • Extension leads
  • Power boards
  • Portable RCDs

Anything with a sticker can be tracked. Gear that doesn't need testing just skips the test & tag part.

What the office and the crew see

The equipment list: each air mover with where it is now and its test & tag status, like Tag OK until 16/01/2027.
The phone after scanning an air mover's sticker: it's in the main warehouse, its tag is OK, and one tap moves it to your van or your last job.
