Solution

Rental and hire billing software for water cooler operators

Stop tracking rental contracts in spreadsheets. Bill every asset, every consumable and every contract minimum, automatically, on the schedule your customers agreed to.

The problems with manual rental billing

Rental contracts tracked in spreadsheets

Asset numbers, start dates, contract terms and renewal dates live in separate spreadsheets that drift out of sync with what is actually installed on site.

Missed consumable charges

Bottles, filters, sanitisation visits and bottle deposits get delivered or performed but never make it onto an invoice.

Manual proration

Mid-term installs, removals, upgrades and downgrades mean working out part-period charges by hand for every affected contract.

Contract minimums that get overlooked

Minimum monthly charges and minimum term commitments are easy to forget when billing is done from memory or a rolling spreadsheet.

Chasing payments

Without a clear view of what is overdue and why, credit control becomes a manual, ad hoc process that eats admin time.

What ProWat does

Recurring rental and hire billing per asset

Each cooler, tap or boiler on site is a billable asset with its own rental rate, billing frequency and status, so charges follow the equipment automatically.

Contract terms and minimum charges

Set minimum term, minimum monthly charge and renewal rules once per contract, and ProWat applies them on every billing run without manual checks.

Consumables and bottle deposits

Bottle deliveries, filter changes, sanitisation visits and deposits are captured against the customer and rolled into the next invoice run.

Mid-term proration

Installs, removals, upgrades and downgrades mid-billing-period are automatically prorated so customers are charged for exactly what they had, for exactly how long.

Multi-site and framework billing rules

Group sites under one customer or framework agreement, apply consolidated or site-by-site billing rules, and keep pricing consistent across a national account.

Invoice runs

Generate invoices in scheduled batches across your whole customer base, review exceptions before they go out, and reduce billing to a routine rather than a scramble.

Accounting package integrations

Push invoices and payment status to Xero, Sage or QuickBooks, keeping your accounts up to date without re-keying data.

Payment collection

Connect payment collection so recurring rental charges can be taken automatically, reducing the manual chasing of overdue balances.

What this means for your business

  • Rental income that reflects what is actually installed, not what a spreadsheet says was installed months ago.
  • Fewer missed consumable and deposit charges, because they are captured at the point of delivery or service.
  • Billing runs that take minutes to review, not days to assemble.
  • Accounts that reconcile cleanly with your accounting package instead of needing manual adjustment.
  • Less time spent chasing payments and more time spent running the business.
