What this module handles

Saudi rental companies, from crane yards in Jubail to event furniture suppliers in Riyadh, mostly track availability in an Excel sheet and WhatsApp, which is how two site managers end up promised the same generator for the same week and how a late return turns into a dispute nobody can settle. Odoo Rental prices products by hour, day, week or month, reserves specific serial units for the period so nothing is double-booked, records condition at pickup and return, and invoices per the contract, and Naqlah, Odoo Gold Partner in Saudi Arabia, configures it around how your yards and sites actually operate.

  • Tiered rental pricing per duration, with different rates by hour, day, week and month per product
  • Availability calendar and Gantt view showing which unit is free, reserved or on site
  • Serial-tracked units with location history, so you know which crane is on which project
  • Pickup and return steps with photos, condition notes and signatures from the customer
  • Late fees, damage, fuel and cleaning charges added on return and invoiced immediately
  • Invoicing upfront, on return or per period for long-term projects with monthly billing
  • Online signature and deposit payment through the portal before the unit leaves the yard
  • Extensions and early returns adjusting the contract and invoice without starting over
Saudi ready

Built for how business runs in Saudi Arabia

Contracts and invoices are issued in Arabic and English with 15% VAT in SAR and submitted to ZATCA through the Odoo Saudi localization, covering the deposit, each period invoice and the final settlement so the invoice chain holds when extensions and damage charges are added. Government, Aramco-contractor and giga project customers are invoiced against their purchase order with the structure their procurement teams require, and units are tracked as they move between NEOM, Red Sea, Jubail and your yard in Odoo Inventory. Vehicle rental offices that must issue unified e-contracts through the Transport General Authority platform can be linked to it through custom integration by Naqlah, or capture the contract number on the Odoo order.

Contracts that hold up
Bilingual agreements with terms, insurance and deposit clauses are signed online in Arabic by the customer and read in English by an expatriate site manager. The signed copy sits on the order with the pickup and return records.

ZATCA on every stage
The deposit invoice, each monthly period invoice and the final settlement with extras are e-invoices in one chain. A credit note on a returned deposit references the original, which is where manual rental billing usually breaks.

Multi-site visibility
Each serial unit shows its current site, return date and the contract it belongs to. When a project in Jubail asks for an extension, the yard knows whether the next booking in Dammam is affected before saying yes.

How it connects

How does a rental run in Odoo from quote to return?

1. Quote with duration pricing and availability check
The quotation applies the right rate for the period and checks the calendar, so the unit offered is actually free on those dates.

2. Contract signed and deposit paid online
The customer signs the bilingual contract through the portal and pays the deposit by mada, card or transfer through the payment integrations Naqlah connects.

3. Pickup recorded and unit located at site
The handover records serial number, condition and photos, and the unit's location changes to the customer site.

4. Return inspected and final invoice issued
Return inspection adds late, damage or fuel charges, the final ZATCA invoice is issued and the deposit is settled or refunded with a linked credit note.

Implementation

What Naqlah configures in your implementation

  1. Rental products, serials and pricing tiers. We load your fleet or stock as serial-tracked rental products with hourly, daily, weekly and monthly rates and minimum periods.
  2. Pickup and return workflows with condition checklists. Inspection steps, photo capture and signatures configured per product category, from a scaffolding set to a bus.
  3. Bilingual contract templates and e-signature. Arabic and English contracts with your insurance, deposit and liability terms, signed online.
  4. Deposit, late fee and damage rules. How deposits are invoiced and refunded, how late days are charged and how damage and fuel are priced on return.
  5. Yards and sites as locations. Your yards, branches and recurring customer sites mapped so every unit has a current location and return date.
  6. Invoicing policy, ZATCA journals and dashboards. Upfront, per-period or on-return invoicing, journals onboarded to Fatoora, and utilization reporting per unit and category.

Timelines depend on scope and fleet size, and Naqlah gives you a clear roadmap in the first consultation.
