Properly taking care of your inventory will require at some point in time the use of Maintenance reporting. Items will break, get stained, get lost or damaged in some way. It is important to mark these items as away for Maintenance in order to avoid renting out products that are not available. Using the RentalTrax Maintenance reporting tools you can: create maintenance lists, view a products maintenance history (to decide whether to sell the item, keep it, or replace it), view accurate product availability. To view your Maintenance Overview, go to: Products > Maintenance > Maintenance Overview.
