Key Features of the Odoo Rentals Module
From real-time availability calendars and flexible pricing rules to automated contracts, deposit management, and asset return tracking, the Odoo Rentals module gives your team every tool they need to run a tighter, more profitable rental operation.
Rental Order Management
Create rental orders in minutes with start and end dates, customer details, rental products, and pricing all captured on a single, intuitive form. Orders can be converted from quotations, initiated by customers through your website, or created directly by your rental team.
Real-Time Availability Calendar
A live availability calendar shows exactly which products are booked, available, or in maintenance at any point in time. Overlapping bookings are prevented automatically, eliminating double bookings and the customer service headaches that follow.
Flexible Rental Pricing Rules
Configure daily, weekly, and monthly rental rates for every product. Apply volume discounts, early booking rates, seasonal surcharges, and customer-specific pricing automatically, ensuring that the correct price is always applied without manual calculation.
Rental Contract Generation
Generate professional rental contracts directly from confirmed orders, pre-populated with all product details, rental period, pricing, deposit terms, and terms and conditions. Contracts can be sent for digital signature and stored against the customer record automatically.
Deposit and Security Bond Management
Collect, record, and manage rental deposits directly within Odoo. Outstanding deposits are tracked in real time, partial or full refunds are processed on return, and deductions for damage or late return are documented with a clear audit trail.
Product Pickup and Return Tracking
Record the exact condition of every asset at checkout and return using structured inspection checklists. Damage, missing accessories, and late returns are flagged immediately and linked to the rental order for billing or dispute resolution.
Rental Extensions and Early Returns
Process rental period extensions or early returns in seconds. Pricing is automatically recalculated based on the revised rental period, and the availability calendar is updated instantly to reflect the change.
Serial Number and Asset Tracking
Assign serial numbers or asset codes to individual rental items. Track exactly which specific unit was rented to which customer, when it went out, when it came back, and what condition it was in for every transaction, across every asset in your fleet.
Maintenance Integration
Link rental assets to preventive maintenance schedules. Assets due for service are automatically flagged as unavailable in the rental calendar, preventing them from being booked out before a required maintenance check is completed.
Online Rental Portal
Allow customers to browse your rental catalog, check availability, submit rental requests, and manage their active rentals through a self-service online portal, reducing inbound inquiries and enabling bookings outside business hours.
Invoicing and Automated Billing
Generate rental invoices directly from confirmed orders, with all pricing, rental periods, deposits, and additional charges pre-populated. Recurring rental invoices are generated automatically for long-term contracts, eliminating manual billing cycles.
Reporting and Utilisation Analytics
Track asset utilization rates, revenue per product, average rental duration, return on investment per asset, and outstanding rental orders from real-time dashboards, giving management the data to optimize fleet size and pricing strategy.
