HireHop integration

Condition inspections for HireHop hire firms

Book the job in HireHop. HireCheck builds the hire order, your driver inspects the machine, the customer signs once, and you keep one signed PDF with your terms attached.

No credit card needed. The HireHop connection is in early access.

You book the job once

When a job is booked in HireHop, HireCheck creates the hire order on its own. It takes the customer name, email and hire dates, and matches each machine on the job by barcode. Nobody retypes anything.

If the job changes in HireHop, HireCheck updates the same order. It never creates a second one, and a machine taken off the job comes off the order. Changes usually show within a minute, and HireCheck re-checks your recent and upcoming jobs every 15 minutes as a safety net.

The sync only reads from HireHop. It does not change your jobs, prices or invoices.

Drivers see their own deliveries and collections

Stops from the HireHop route planner appear in My Deliveries for the driver mapped to that route. You set the mapping once under Staff Users.

The driver taps Check out on a delivery or Check in on a collection, then inspects each machine on the job. Mark started and Mark done update the stop in HireHop.

One signature, one PDF, your terms attached

A job with two excavators and a trailer does not need three signatures. The customer signs once on the driver's phone for everything on the order.

HireCheck then makes one signed PDF with every machine's condition, the timestamp and signature, and your hire terms and conditions on the pages after it. You upload your terms once as a PDF. The customer agrees to the terms with the same signature as the condition report.

The signed PDF has its own link that needs no login, so your office can paste it into the HireHop job or an email. Anyone with the link can read the record, so only share it with people who should see it.

Photos that stand up in a dispute

Every inspection carries timestamped photos and GPS location. Drivers can circle damage on a photo with a finger, and HireCheck keeps the untouched original next to the marked copy. If a hirer disputes damage on return, one click builds a claim pack with the hire out and return photos side by side and both signatures.

It still works when the signal drops

Deliveries go to building sites and farms, which is where reception disappears. With no signal, HireCheck saves the inspection, photos, customer signature and stop status on the phone and uploads them when signal returns. The record shows the time the check was done, not the time it uploaded.

Open HireCheck once with signal before leaving the yard, so the phone has your equipment list, checklist and upcoming deliveries saved.

Setting it up takes about 15 minutes

  1. Get your machines into HireCheck with the same numbers as your HireHop barcodes. A CSV import using the barcode as the identifier is the quickest way. Do not open the CSV in Excel first, because Excel drops leading zeros and 003 becomes 3.
  2. In HireHop, add a user for HireCheck and create an API token for it. HireHop limits users on each plan, so you may need to free a seat.
  3. In HireCheck, open HireHop in the Admin menu, paste the token and save. Enter any job number and press Test to confirm it works. Nothing changes in HireHop.
  4. Copy the webhook address from the same page. In HireHop go to Settings, Company Settings, Webhooks, add the address, and tick job.updated, job.status.updated and job.item.stock.updated.

I'm happy to do this with you on a call. I built the connection and tested it on live jobs with a UK plant hire company, so I know where the snags are.

Not ready for the full connection?

HireCheck works on its own too. Every machine gets its own condition report link, and HireHop lets you add a custom field to each asset. Paste the link into that field and it can print on your hire documents. This needs a paid HireHop plan for the document template step, and the guide walks you through it.

Questions

Does HireCheck change my jobs, prices or invoices in HireHop?

No. The job sync only reads from HireHop. The one thing that goes back is the status of a delivery or collection when a driver marks it started or done.

How does HireCheck match machines to a job?

By barcode. The barcode on the HireHop item must equal the machine's identifier in HireCheck exactly, or its serial number. There is no partial matching, so 05 never matches 058.

What if a machine on a job has no match?

HireCheck creates the order with the machines it can match and leaves the rest off. Fix the identifier in HireCheck, then press Sync this job or wait for the next change to the job.

Which plan do I need?

The HireHop connection and hire orders are on the Pro and Business plans. See the pricing section for the current prices.

What still needs a phone signal?

Logging in, seeing a delivery added after the phone last had signal, opening a signed PDF, and changes such as adding equipment or editing settings.

Do I need HireHop to use HireCheck?

No. HireCheck works with any booking system, or none. Booqable users can add condition report links to their contracts, covered on the Booqable page.
