Welcome back from Labor Day weekend! Here's our latest changelog with exciting updates, including the highly-requested Inventory Kitting feature that many of you upvoted on our roadmap.

• Build flexible Kits with any mix of your Inventory items
• Set bundled pricing for a Kit—no need for item-by-item calculations
• Add Kits to orders with all items automatically included and tracked
• Display Kits on your Storefront for easy customer requests

Here's a quick 5-min walkthrough to get you started:

💡Improvements

• Transparent Payment Processing: Customers paying online now see the total amount including credit card fees before submitting payment. The system displays both the base amount and fee separately, eliminating surprise charges at checkout.
• Quick Cash Calculator: When cash is selected as payment method, a calculator icon appears. Enter the amount received and the system automatically computes change due with denomination breakdown—no more mental math at the counter.
• Customer Swapping Flexibility: Change the customer on an order as long as no billing or payment records exist. This makes it easy to fix mistakes or reassign orders before invoicing. The contact can be updated anytime.
• Streamlined Discounting: New Discount % field on Quick Sale screen automatically applies percentage discounts to invoices. Located right under the Tax-Exempt checkbox for easy access.
• Enhanced Dispatch Board: The Unassigned column now includes filters to show only on-rent or called-off orders. Order cards display status icons for called-off and picked-up items, helping dispatchers prioritize at a glance.
• Improved Customer & Maintenance Views: Customer names saved in lowercase are automatically capitalized throughout the system. Maintenance summary pages now include a customer card for complete context.
• Cleaner Maintenance History: Updated styling with colored status dots, clearer icons, and optional connector lines between maintenance events for better visual flow.
• Refined Slot Selection: Consistent fonts, centered cards with outlined borders, proper text wrapping, and improved spacing make slot selection more intuitive.
• Smart Archive Controls: The inventory archive button automatically disables when archiving isn't allowed, preventing confusion about why an action might fail.
• Easier Date Editing: Backspace through date fields to change just the year without re-entering the entire date—small improvement, big time saver.
• Better Quote Formatting: Quote emails now include proper spacing before currency symbols for improved readability.
• Polished Storefront Display: Price chips hide unnecessary ".00" for whole dollar amounts while preserving cents when needed. Loading skeletons are confined to item cards rather than covering filter controls.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Invoice Payment Accuracy: Fixed mismatches between invoice paid amounts and joined payments. Fully paid invoices no longer incorrectly show as "processing."
• Storefront Security & Availability: Resolved data leak in storefront availability API. Items with "soft" maintenance status (non-critical work) now correctly show as available for rent.
• Duplicate Customer Prevention: Creating online quotes no longer generates duplicate customer records when a matching customer already exists.
• Date Field Behavior: Corrected various date editing issues across order forms
• UI State Management: Fixed disabled states for archive buttons and alignment issues in slot card layouts
• Loading State Refinement: Full-page loading indicators no longer appear during filter updates on the storefront

Welcome to our first changelog! We'll be sharing updates like this every two weeks to keep you informed about new features and improvements.

🚀 New Features

Link Maintenance Orders to Rental Orders

💡Improvements

• Easily Share Customer Intake Form: The redesigned “Add New Customer” form has clearer instructions and a printable QR code, making it easy to collect info in person or online.
• Edit Order Timeline Checkpoints: Edit notes, add or remove photos and videos, and change custom checkpoint names. All changes are tracked in the audit log.
• Edit Customer Details from the Order Page: Update customer information directly from the Order—no need to switch pages.
• Edit Work Order Items After Creation: Update descriptions, tax exemption status, and costs for work order items even after they're created.
• Speed Up Bulk Check-ins: Use the new “Mark All” button on the Check-In screen to set all items to “Ok for Rent” or “Needs Review” at once, saving time on big check-ins.
• See Vendor & Condition Details in One Place: View and edit vendor and condition details directly on inventory pages.
• More Details on Statements: Statements now include extra information like PO numbers, job numbers, and job descriptions, making it easier to match statements to your records.
• Less Manual Work on Split Invoices: Invoices now show clear, positive amounts when order items are split—making billing easier to understand and reducing manual editing.
• Automatic Ledger Mapping for Slot Items: Items in slots now automatically use the slot's rental and sales ledger accounts, reducing manual mapping and increasing consistency.
• Cross-Branch Dispatch Allowed: Drivers can see all their assigned deliveries and pickups from any branch, not just their home branch.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Insurance Expiration Notifications: Fixed timing configuration options for setting when reminders are sent
• Storefront Business Hours - Now correctly enforces business hours for rental quote requests
• Export Full Ledger - Exporting Accounting ledger now includes all ledger columns
• Driver License Date of Birth: Corrected off-by-one-day display errors

Renterra now gives you full control over your rental pricing—designed to match how you actually run your business.

​You can now:

✅ Create custom rate types: Set up to 10 rates with your own names and durations—think “Half-Day,” “3-Day Bundle,” or whatever fits your rental model.

A New Standard in Customer Identity Verification with Renterra

We’re excited to introduce a powerful new feature designed to enhance trust, reduce fraud, and streamline operations across your rental business: Vouched Driver’s License Verification. The Vouched integration provides a seamless multi-step ID verification process. Here’s how it works:

1. Customers are prompted to upload front and back photos of their driver’s license.
2. They then take a real-time selfie.
3. Vouched uses facial recognition technology to match the selfie to the license.
4. If the match is successful, the customer’s license status is marked as “Verified” (green) in Renterra.
5. A downloadable report is added to the profile, including all verification data.

This tool not only helps meet compliance standards but also prevents fraudulent rentals before they occur.

📣 Important Note: Renterra customers will receive 10 free verifications each month. After the allotted 10, Renterra will pass along the additional costs.

We’re excited to officially launch the Customer Portal — a powerful new tool that gives your renters secure online access to everything they need.

With the Customer Portal, your customers can:

✅ View and pay invoices and statements online
✅ Request call-offs or rental extensions that flow directly into Renterra
✅ Reduce phone calls, emails, and manual follow-ups
✅ Enjoy a simple, online experience

Note: The Customer Portal is available as an add-on at an additional cost.

Hi there,

While many of you have had beta-access to this feature (and you're feedback has been super helpful), we're super excited to broadly release our Dispatch Module to all customers!
