Why Use Projects?
Projects in Rentablez are for jobs that are bigger than a single order. A festival, a long-term construction site, or a sustained client campaign — anything that spans multiple deliveries, multiple dates, and multiple invoices. A Project acts as the container that holds it all together.
How It Works
Create a project for the job, link your orders and enquiries to it, and Rentablez automatically rolls up the revenue, costs, and timeline into one view. You can see what’s planned, what’s confirmed, and whether the job is on track to be profitable — all from the project detail page.
Is This Job Too Big for One Order? — When to Use a Project
Use a Project when a job involves more than one order or spans a long time period.
A multi-phase event — like a festival with separate setup, show, and teardown deliveries — becomes one project with linked orders for each phase.
A long-term site rental where equipment comes and goes over months stays organized under one project rather than scattered across dozens of standalone orders.
A repeat client campaign — tracking all work for one client across a quarter or year — lives under a single project umbrella so revenue and costs are always visible in one place.
What’s the Schedule Looking Like? — Gantt Chart
Open the Overview tab on any project to see a Gantt chart of all linked orders. See when each order starts and ends, spot overlaps, and make sure your equipment isn’t double-booked across phases. Rentablez draws this automatically from the dates on your linked orders.
Is It Making Money? — Financial Tracking
The Revenue tab shows income from all linked orders and invoices, totalled automatically. Add manual entries for damage charges, penalties, or mobilization fees.
The Costs tab is where you record what the job actually cost — sub-rentals, labor, logistics, transport. Add each cost and Rentablez shows you the running net profit on the Overview tab in real time.
Project Statuses
Rentablez tracks where each project stands: Planning, Approved, In Progress, Completed, On Hold, or Cancelled. Update the status as the job progresses so your list always reflects the real state of work.
