Built for sign rental operators
Rental + dispatch + invoicing for traffic sign and message-board rental fleets.
Traffic OS is operations software for sign rental operators renting message boards, arrow boards, traffic signs, and barricades. Manage rental units as equipment with daily / weekly / monthly billing rates, kit-based deployments, multi-outlet inventory across regional yards, GPS-stamped pickup and return tickets, and recurring rental invoicing that syncs to QuickBooks. Plans are crew-priced rather than per-user, so 20-driver operations pay one flat fee instead of 20 seat fees.
How sign rental operators use Traffic OS day-to-day
Equipment-kit rentals with tiered billing rates
Define rental rates per equipment type (e.g. message board $150/day, arrow board $80/day). Kits bundle common rental combinations; deploying a kit auto-calculates the rental cycle bill.
Multi-outlet equipment fleet
Sign rental fleets registered to specific regional yards; cross-yard transfers tracked with audit trail. Equipment availability per yard visible from the dispatch view.
Pickup runs with GPS-stamped return tickets
End-of-rental pickup runs spawn return tickets with photos + customer signature confirming equipment returned in good condition. Damaged / missing equipment is billed back via the rental's final invoice.
Recurring rental billing cycles
Long-running rentals (e.g. a months-long construction project) bill on weekly or monthly cycles; each cycle generates an invoice that syncs to QuickBooks.
Why sign rental operators switch to Traffic OS
The pain points operators most often name when explaining why they outgrew a generic field-service platform:
- →Generic FSM platforms model jobs but not rentable equipment
- →Per-day / per-week / per-month rental rate tiers aren't a default anywhere else
- →Multi-outlet fleet visibility requires shadow spreadsheets in most platforms
- →Damage / loss billback at end-of-rental is manual in most FSMs
