Q: What happens if the customer isn’t home?

The executive taps “Couldn’t complete”, picks a reason, and either reschedules on the spot — the customer is right there to agree a new slot — or logs the miss, which sends the task to the dispatch board’s attention queue. The attempt is counted exactly once, and the GPS location is stamped on the record.

Question 1

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes — BytePhase offers a 15-day free trial. That is long enough to set up your shop, run real repair tickets through it and see whether it fits the way you already work before you commit.

Question 2

What is device rental management software?

Accepted Answer

Device rental management software lets a business rent its own equipment to customers and track the whole arrangement in one place: which devices are out, who has them, what is owed, and which deposits are still being held. In BytePhase it covers a rental device inventory, rental contracts with start and end dates, recurring billing, security deposits, and returns with a recorded device condition.

Question 3

Can I rent devices to customers from my repair shop software?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BytePhase includes a full Rentals module alongside repairs, so loaner and rental devices live in the same system as your jobs, customers and payments rather than in a separate spreadsheet. You keep a pool of rentable devices, put them on a contract for a customer, bill on a recurring cycle, and take them back when the rental ends. Rentals is available on the Standard and Enterprise plans.

Question 4

How does BytePhase handle security deposits on a rental?

Accepted Answer

Security deposits sit on their own ledger, separate from rental payments, so deposit money is never counted as income. The contract deposit is added up from the deposit set on each device you attach. You collect it from the contract's Deposits tab once the contract is Confirmed or Active, and each entry shows as Paid while you hold it and Refunded once returned. A deposit can only be refunded once, and every deposit has a printable receipt.

Question 5

What happens when a rented device needs repair?

Accepted Answer

Mark the device as Under repair and it drops out of circulation: it cannot be returned, swapped or added to another contract until the repair is resolved. Your rental configuration decides whether the customer keeps paying while the device is away or billing pauses for it. If every active device on a contract is under repair, that whole billing cycle is skipped and the reason is recorded in the contract's billing log.

Question 6

How does automatic recurring rental billing work?

Accepted Answer

Set a contract to automatic billing and pick a frequency — daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly. On each billing date BytePhase adds that cycle's rent to the contract total, stamps every device line, advances the next billing date and writes a billing log entry marked generated, skipped or failed. Contracts set to auto-renew extend their own end date, up to the maximum number of renewals you allow.

Question 7

What happens if the customer isn&#8217;t home?

Accepted Answer

The executive taps &#8220;Couldn&#8217;t complete&#8221;, picks a reason, and either reschedules on the spot &#8212; the customer is right there to agree a new slot &#8212; or logs the miss, which sends the task to the dispatch board&#8217;s attention queue. The attempt is counted exactly once, and the GPS location is stamped on the record.

Question 8

Can one pickup collect several devices at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each device on a trip is its own line with its own photos, condition tags and outcome &#8212; Collected, Not available or Excluded. That is how a partial pickup is recorded cleanly: &#8220;2 of 3 collected&#8221;, with the reason stored against the third device.

Question 9

What proof is captured when a device is handed over?

Accepted Answer

A handover can require a one-time password read out by the customer, a signature captured on the executive&#8217;s screen, at least two photos per collected device in named slots (front, back, screen on, serial/IMEI), and condition tags such as scratches or cracked screen. Each requirement is a setting, and the proof attaches to the exact device line on the task.

Question 10

Can my customers track their device pickup live?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When the executive sets off, the customer gets a message with a secure tracking link. It opens a live map showing the executive&#8217;s position, an estimated arrival time, the agent&#8217;s name with a call button, and a journey timeline &#8212; refreshed every 15 seconds, with no app to install and no login.
