Recurring Billing

Automatically bill customers on 28-day or monthly cycles without lifting a finger.

The hardest part of running a portable storage business isn't selling the rental — it's knowing where every container is at all times. ProHauler storage container rental software shows you exactly how many 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft containers are deployed, how many are sitting in the yard, and how many are being cleaned or repaired. You can filter by size and type so a customer calling for a 20ft container gets a real answer in seconds, not a guess.

Containers that are overdue for return get flagged automatically, so you're not discovering three weeks later that a unit is still sitting on a job site where the project wrapped up. The yard layout and slot assignment feature tells the driver exactly where to drop a returned container — no more searching the yard for the right slot. And the system prevents double-booking a container that's already scheduled for another delivery, which is the fastest way to anger a customer who took the day off to meet your truck.

Every truck has a limit on how many deliveries it can make in a day. ProHauler storage container rental software schedules drop-offs and pickups by truck capacity — if a tilt-bed can haul two 20ft containers per trip, the system knows not to overload Tuesday's route. Deliveries are geographically clustered so a driver isn't crossing town twice for the same zip code, and the load order is sequenced so the truck drops off containers before it picks up returns.

Same-day emergency delivery requests happen constantly — a contractor needs a container on site yesterday, or a homeowner's closing got pushed up. Instead of reworking the entire board by hand, you drop the new job onto the nearest route and the system resequences the remaining stops. The driver gets the updated order on their phone, and you can see in real time whether the truck has capacity to fit it in. That's the difference between dispatch that scales and dispatch that breaks down at 15 containers. See how dispatch connects to the full platform.

Every container in your fleet has a GPS or address-based pin so you know exactly which unit is sitting at which address. When a customer calls and says "I think I have unit 4017," you can pull it up instantly — the address, the rental start date, the customer, and the prior service history. That service history follows the container, not the customer, so you know which units have been damaged on prior rentals, which ones had maintenance done, and which ones are due for inspection before they go back out.

During peak moving season when every container in the yard is spoken for, the availability calendar shows real-time counts by size so you never promise a 20ft you don't have. If a delivery comes back early, the inventory updates the moment the driver logs the pickup — not at the end of the day when someone remembers to update the spreadsheet. Explore the full feature set to see how inventory tracking connects to billing and dispatch.

Online Booking System

Let customers rent containers directly from your website. Our eCommerce widget integrates seamlessly, captures payment information, and automatically creates the order in your dashboard.

Automated Recurring Billing

Say goodbye to manual invoicing. Set up 28-day or calendar-month billing cycles, keep credit cards securely on file, and auto-charge customers for rentals, damage waivers, and delivery fees.

Your delivery drivers see their full drop-off and pickup schedule on their phone — every job in the optimized order, with the container size, placement notes, and customer details attached. "Place 20ft container in driveway, clear of fence and wellhead" — it's all right there in the app, not on a clipboard that got left in the cab.

At each stop, the driver captures a photo of the delivered container in position, logs the placement, and captures the customer's signature on mobile. That photo and timestamp are your proof of delivery — invaluable when a customer claims the container was placed in the wrong spot or wasn't delivered on time. ProHauler storage container rental software pushes the delivery status back to dispatch in real time, so the office knows the job is done the moment the driver marks it complete.

The same applies to pickups. The driver photos the container before loading it back on the truck, documenting its condition before it leaves the customer's property. If there's damage, it's logged on the spot with a photo and flows straight to billing. No more disputes over who cracked the floor — the record is timestamped and photographed before the truck pulls away. See how the driver app connects to the full platform.

Your customers can log in to a self-service portal to view their current container rental, request a pickup, extend their rental period, update billing information, or add a second container — all without calling the office. The most common requests that eat up your phone time become self-service transactions that the customer handles on their own schedule.

Payment history and past invoices are available for download anytime, so a customer who needs a receipt for their accountant doesn't need to call and wait for someone to dig it up. When a customer requests a pickup through the portal, it flows directly into dispatch — no phone tag, no handwritten note that gets lost, no container sitting on a job site three weeks past the end of the rental because nobody scheduled the pickup.

When you're on the road running deliveries or loading containers in the yard, the phone rings to an empty office. The AI receptionist answers those calls, quotes container sizes and rental rates, collects the job site address and contact information, and schedules a drop-off date — all without you missing a beat. A booking confirmation goes out by text so the customer knows their rental is locked in.

This is especially valuable during busy moving seasons when call volume spikes and every missed call is a rental that went to a competitor who picked up. The AI handles the "how much is a 20ft container" calls, logs the job details, and feeds the lead straight into ProHauler — so by the time you're back in the office, the order is already in the system waiting for dispatch.

“I used to track my containers in a spreadsheet. ProHauler storage container rental software tells me exactly where every unit is and when it's due back. Stopped losing units on long-term job sites the first month.”

“The online booking widget cut my phone time in half. Customers pick a size, pick a date, and pay — I just dispatch the truck. Booked 18 extra rentals last quarter from after-hours online orders I would've missed.”

“Photo verification on the driver app ended our placement disputes. Customer says the container's in the wrong spot, I pull up the timestamped photo. Problem solved. Saved me three contentious calls last month alone.”
