Hi all,

Looking to improve on our processes for our small business and I'm looking for an app or software package of which can help smooth out our delivery and collections of our rented assets.

Without getting too in depth we are a hire company of plant machinery for a very niche industry.

We want to be able to log the following information on delivery of a machine via a mobile app, preferably accessible via cloud for multiple users:

Delivery:
Job Number
Machine unique name
Customer name
Date

And then capture the same information on collection but along with ability to log fuel use and photograph any damage at point of collection to generate a pdf document or similar the customer can sign at point of collection.

The system needs to be simple that a driver can do this from a mobile phone, and needs to be accessible via desktop computer in order to then match to our booking process for billing back damages or consumables etc.

Does anyone have any real work experience with something that's suitable? Or can point me in the direction or somewhere to start.

I came across go canvas which allows mobile webforms to be created but I'm not sure it's entirely perfect for what we need in terms of multiple users etc.

Thanks in advance.
 
I would say a web app that's compatible over platform browsers with a login interface. Web forms would be an alright way to do things or a dev can code it with php/sql depends which way you want to go.

I did a one recently with sql and bootstrap which just pulled info, edit info, delete info and login.
 
Look at power apps quite powerful for this kind of data entry. Can also use various backends. Designed for mobile/tablet but also can work with desktop.

Various licencing options as well. We have a couple of apps running in an environment with 25 concurrent users which works for us.

Interesting,

thanks for the tip - I assume you mean Microsofts service?

Ill take a look, im not a developer, but i do know what we need, and its simple in principle, so hoping this can help in some way.
 
Power apps is part of the ms power platform and 0365. Its technically code less to develop stuff but with most things like this it isn't really. But a lot of the boiler plate stuff like connecting to servers and designing the ui is drag and drop. It's basically ms dynamics 365. If your business is already invested in the platform may be worth a look.
