Opeux for small teams

Mini digger hire software for small operators

Opeux Hire is built for small mini digger hire firms running 0.8t, 1.5t, 2.7t and 3t excavators with breaker, auger and bucket attachments. Quote a weekend hire from a phone, take a deposit, send an e-signed agreement and bill weekly without ever opening a spreadsheet.

The problem

Mini digger hires are mostly short notice — weekend DIY jobs, small landscapers, one-off site clears. Quoting, deposits and weekend collection chasing eats your Friday and Sunday evening.

How Opeux helps

Opeux Hire turns the enquiry into a quote, the quote into an e-signed agreement with deposit, and the return into a clean off-hire with damage capture — all from a phone.

What you get

  • 0.8t–3t mini digger catalogue with day and weekend rates
  • Attachment bookings (breaker, auger, buckets)
  • Trailer delivery and pickup scheduling
  • E-signed agreement with refundable deposit
  • Weekend hire pricing built in
  • Damage and missing-part charges on return

Start with this if…

  • You re-type the same hire contract every booking
  • You lose track of which kit is out and when it's due back
  • Recurring weekly or monthly rental invoices get forgotten
  • Damage and missing items get noticed too late to bill for
  • You take international bookings and need multi-currency invoicing

  • Hire catalogue with day, week and month rates
  • Live availability calendar across staff and sites
  • Customers, contracts and deposits in one record
  • On-hire vs off-hire status per item
  • Damage notes and condition photos on return
  • Renewals and extensions without re-typing the agreement

Documents you can produce

  • Branded quotes for each hire enquiry
  • E-signable hire agreements with terms and deposits
  • Recurring rental invoices in the customer's currency
  • Off-hire and damage reports on return
  • Statements of account for long-running hires

Billing workflows

  • Refundable deposits on agreement signature
  • Extra-week and extension billing
  • Damage and replacement charges
  • Polite overdue reminder cadence
