Photograph the machine as it leaves

Rental reports for the machine you just walked
Photograph the loader as it leaves, the tracks when it comes back, the dent on the panel. Speak what you saw. FWDLink drafts the report. You review it, then send one link.

The yard walk becomes the report
Photograph the return while it is still in the yard
A short voice note on the gravel becomes the condition: what came back, what is caked in mud, and what the desk needs to see. Time and place stay on the photos.
Voice note to draft
Keep the damage on that same machine
The scratched panel, the cracked light, the torn hose. Mark the spot with a note on the picture. You review the draft before the customer sees it.
Damage stays with the unit
Send the desk one report
FWD one link with the photos, the draft you reviewed, and the notes from the yard. The customer opens it in the browser. Add a repair photo later and the same link still works.
One link for the desk
Rental reports for checkout, return, and damage
An equipment rental report starts on the machine, not in a shared camera roll. Name the album for the unit, the contract, or the customer. Photograph the cab, the tires, and the attachment as the machine leaves. The return opens the same place. A machine you keep as an asset, apart from a rental checkout, stays on the equipment photo app.
Speak a short note while you are still in the yard. FWDLink drafts the report from the photos and that note: what went out, what came back, and what is damaged. You review the draft before it goes out. Mark the spot with photo annotations so the callout stays on the picture. Time and place stay on the shot.
Damage belongs on that same machine. The scratched panel and the cracked light should not start a new thread. When the desk needs a price before a repair, the same photos can ride an estimate.
FWD one gallery from share links. The desk and the customer open it in the browser. Sharing an album is how you turn the link off after the unit is closed. Add a repair photo later. The link they already opened keeps working.
This page is the rental report: checkout, return condition, and damage, and the one link you send. The next time that unit leaves, the album is already there.

Frequently asked questions
What is an equipment rental report in FWDLink?
A checkout, a return, and any damage on that machine: photos, a short voice note, and a draft you review. The customer opens one link.
Can I send the customer one link?
Yes. FWD one share link with the photos and the draft you reviewed. They open it in the browser. Add a repair photo later and the same link still works.
Where do return and damage photos go?
On the machine album you started at checkout. The muddy tracks and the cracked light stay with that unit. The desk does not need a second thread.
Do I review the draft before it goes out?
Yes. FWDLink drafts the report from the photos and your note. You read it, change what you need, and then send the link.
How is this different from the equipment photo app?
The equipment photo app is the machine you keep as an asset. This page is the rental report: checkout, return condition, damage, and the one link you send.
