Why Arkila

Rental equipment shouldn't be a blind spot.

Rentals come from multiple suppliers, land on dozens of jobsites, move between projects, and get billed across countless invoices. By the time accounting catches an issue, the cost is already spent. Arkila gives you complete visibility and control over every rental, from every vendor, in one platform.

Questions your ERP can't answer

Why are we still paying $14,000 a month for lifts we haven't used in two weeks?

$14,000/mo
Idle spend surfaced

Idle detection flags unused assets with the live cost of doing nothing.

Arkila doesn't replace your ERP — it fills the operational gap your ERP was never designed to solve. Every rental follows a complete digital lifecycle, tracked with timestamps, approvals, photos, documents, meter readings, and a full audit trail.

  • Real-time view of every asset, from every vendor
  • Approvals and POs tied to project and cost code
  • Transfers between jobsites without losing history
  • Complete audit trail from request to close

No more spreadsheets, no more emailing vendors for equipment lists, no more guessing what's still on rent. Arkila turns rental equipment from an uncontrolled operating expense into a managed business asset.

Key features

One platform for the complete rental lifecycle

Unified rental registry

Every rented asset from every supplier in one tenant-isolated system of record — ID, vendor, rate, project, cost code, and status.

Idle equipment detection

Configurable thresholds flag equipment sitting unused, show cost while idle, and recommend off-rent before the next billing cycle.

Delivery & pickup control

Schedule deliveries, coordinate vendor pickups, confirm with photos and digital signatures, and get alerts when trucks run late.

Approvals & purchase orders

Request, quote, approve, and issue POs in one workflow with full audit history at every stage of the rental lifecycle.

Invoice matching

Match vendor invoices to rentals, validate dates and rates, and surface billing discrepancies before they get paid.

Spend & utilization reporting

Spend by vendor, project, and cost code. Utilization, open rentals, late pickups, and executive views exported to PDF or Excel.

Built for the field

A mobile-first experience for foremen: request rentals, log meter readings, upload damage photos, and request off-rent in seconds.

Communication got easier

Every interaction from requesting an order to closing a rental lives on one timeline. No more searching through emails and texts.

How it works

Request to close, with an audit trail at every step

01

Request

Field crews request equipment with project and cost code attached.

02

Approve & PO

Managers approve against budget; a PO is issued to the chosen vendor.

03

Deliver & track

Delivery confirmed with photos, then tracked on rent across transfers.

04

Off-rent & close

Idle flags trigger off-rent, pickup is confirmed, invoice is matched and closed.

The whole jobsite workflow, from a phone

Foremen don't open laptops. Every action a crew needs is two taps away — and every tap writes to the same audit trail your office team sees.

“We were paying for three generators nobody had touched in a month. Arkila flagged them the same week and the off-rent went out from a phone on the jobsite.”
