Built for barricade rental companies
Rental operations + dispatch + invoicing for barricade rental fleets.
Traffic OS combines field service dispatch with rental-fleet tracking purpose-built for barricade rental companies. Manage cones, drums, panels, arrow boards, and message boards as rentable equipment with kit assembly, multi-outlet inventory, and recurring rental invoicing. Crews use a GPS time clock and sign daily tickets with GPS-stamped customer signatures. Pricing is flat-tier ($499–$1499/mo) rather than per-user, so a 30-driver fleet doesn't pay 30 seat fees.
How barricade rental companies use Traffic OS day-to-day
Equipment-kit rentals with daily billing rates
Define equipment kits (e.g. '20 cones + 4 arrow boards + 2 message boards') with per-day rental rates. Open a rental record, assign the kit, dispatch a crew to deploy, and the rental clock starts. Daily billing rolls automatically into the invoice cycle.
Multi-outlet fleet visibility
Equipment registered to a specific yard / outlet stays scoped to that outlet by default; cross-outlet transfers are a single move with audit trail. LIFO COGS for consumables (e.g. broken cones replaced from stock) keeps margin reporting accurate.
Pickup runs and end-of-rental return tickets
End-of-rental pickup runs spawn their own field tickets with photos + customer signature confirming equipment returned. Damaged / missing equipment is billed back via the rental's final invoice.
Multi-month recurring projects
Long-running road projects can be set up as recurring rentals with weekly or monthly billing cycles. Each billing cycle generates an invoice that syncs to QuickBooks.
Why barricade rental companies switch to Traffic OS
The pain points operators most often name when explaining why they outgrew a generic field-service platform:
- →Generic FSM platforms don't model equipment as rentable
- →Single-outlet inventory forces multi-yard barricade rental operators to maintain shadow spreadsheets
- →Per-user pricing eats margin once a fleet has 15+ drivers
- →Damage / missing-equipment billing is manual in most platforms
