KEY FEATURES

Why Rental Companies Choose Asset Rentals

Most rental software can track assets.

What separates Asset Rentals is the ability to handle the billing complexity, flexibility, and financial visibility that growing rental businesses need.

28-Day Billing Cycles

Support true 28-day billing without spreadsheets, manual calculations, or workarounds.

For many rental businesses, 28-day billing creates predictable billing periods and can result in an additional billing cycle each year.

Flexible Billing Schedules

Adaptable customer billing preferences: in advance, mid-period, or in arrears. No need to constantly create new contracts or billing schedules.

Support for weekly, monthly, total-day, custom four-week, and evergreen rental agreements. Evergreen rental functionality for open-ended rentals that continue until the asset is returned.

Automatic Proration

When assets are returned early or rented for only part of a billing cycle, the system automatically calculates the appropriate charges.

No manual adjustments required.

Freight & Delivery Billing

Handle freight the way your customers want it billed:

- Up front
- Amortized across the rental term
- Mid-rental
- End of rental

Native NetSuite Reporting

Track everything you need without moving data into another system:

- Revenue by asset
- Asset utilization
- Rental profitability
- Upcoming invoices
- Rental History

Pause Rental Billings

Pause billing when equipment is temporarily out of service without disrupting the rental agreement. Resume billing when the asset returns to service while maintaining accurate rental history and billing continuity.

Bill Miscellaneous Rental Charges

Quickly add miscellaneous charges such as damage fees, cleaning, fuel, repairs, service work, consumables, or other rental-related costs directly to the customer's invoice.

No spreadsheets or manual adjustments required.

How NetSuite Rental Management Works

Rentals How it Works in NetSuite

Is Your Rentals Business Facing These Challenges?

As rental businesses grow, billing becomes more complex, assets become harder to track, and disconnected systems create operational inefficiencies. Many companies eventually outgrow spreadsheets, QuickBooks, or rental software that cannot support the way they actually operate.

Asset Rentals was built to solve business challenges like:

  • Manual rental billing and invoice generation
  • 28-day billing cycles, prorated billing, and flexible rental terms
  • Missed revenue from early returns or unbilled rental time
  • Limited visibility into asset availability, utilization, and location
  • Tracking serialized assets across multiple customers and locations
  • Billing delivery, pickup, freight, and miscellaneous customer charges
  • Pausing rental billing when equipment is temporarily out of service
  • Managing sales tax, expenses, commissions, and financial processes alongside rental operations
  • Eliminating disconnected rental, accounting, AR, AP, and reporting systems
  • Replacing rental software that cannot support real-world billing requirements

Frequently Asked Questions About NetSuite Rental Management

Can NetSuite manage rental assets?
+

Yes, with the right rental management structure. Asset Rentals extends NetSuite so companies can manage rental assets, billing schedules, swaps, returns, and asset performance reporting inside NetSuite.

Why do rental companies use 28-day billing?
+

Many rental businesses prefer 28-day billing because it creates consistent billing periods throughout the year and can generate an additional billing cycle annually compared to traditional monthly billing. Asset Rentals supports true 28-day billing directly inside NetSuite.

Can NetSuite handle 28 day rental billing cycles?
+

Yes. Asset Rentals supports 28 day billing cycles, custom billing periods, weekly billing, monthly billing, total day billing, and evergreen rentals.

Can rental assets stay fixed assets instead of inventory?
+

Yes. Rental units can remain treated as fixed assets while still being placed on rent, assigned to customers, billed, returned, serviced, and reported on.

Can we swap an asset during an active rental?
+

Yes. If an asset breaks, needs service, or must be replaced, users can swap the asset while maintaining rental history and billing continuity.

Can we report on rental asset profitability?
+

Yes. Because rental activity is managed inside NetSuite, teams can report on revenue by asset, utilization, rental history, profitability by unit, and top renting customers.

How do we handle rental agreements with changing rental periods and billing schedules?
+

The Asset Rentals solution is designed specifically for rental businesses and handles both simple and complex rental agreements. It supports variable rental durations, multiple billing schedules, and automatic adjustments when terms change. When you add or remove assets mid-rental cycle, the billing schedule automatically updates—eliminating manual recalculations and ensuring customers are billed accurately.

How do we change or upgrade assets while a rental is in progress?
+

Asset management flexibility is built into the solution. You can add new assets, remove existing ones, or swap assets mid-rental cycle without disrupting the entire agreement. The system automatically recalculates and updates the billing schedule to reflect the changes, so you don't have to manually adjust invoices or create workarounds.

How can we track which assets are rented, available, and scheduled for rental?
+

The Asset Rentals solution provides comprehensive tracking of your asset inventory throughout the rental lifecycle. You can see which assets are currently deployed, which are available for rental, and what upcoming rentals are scheduled. This visibility helps you optimize asset utilization and respond faster to customer rental requests.

How can we reduce billing errors and improve invoice accuracy for rentals?
+

Manual management of rental billing is error-prone, especially when agreements change. The Asset Rentals solution automates billing schedule updates whenever assets are added, removed, or swapped. This automation eliminates manual invoice adjustments and ensures customers receive accurate bills every time.

Can I temporarily pause rental billing?
+

Yes. Asset Rentals supports pausing billing when equipment is temporarily out of service, then resuming billing when the asset returns to the customer.

Can I invoice customers for miscellaneous rental charges?
+

Yes. Miscellaneous charges such as cleaning, damage, fuel, service work, or other rental-related fees can be added directly to customer invoices.
