Getting started with Strexada
Stand up your rental business in Strexada — company, branches, fleet, team, and your first quote — in about 20 minutes.
Strexada is the operating system for equipment rental and construction — quoting, availability, contracts, dispatch and billing in one place, backed by real-time rate and availability engines. This guide takes you from an empty account to a live quote.
1. Set up your company & branches
Your account is scoped to a single company (tenant). Add each physical location as a branch — every asset, quote and contract belongs to a branch, and availability is calculated per branch with cross-branch substitution.
- Open Settings → Branches and add each yard or location (name, address, timezone).
- Set your default currency and tax rules under Settings → Company.
2. Build your catalog
Strexada separates equipment classes (e.g. "Mini Excavator 3T") from individual assets (serial-numbered units). Rates attach to classes via rate rules.
- Classes & rates — create a class, set daily/weekly/monthly rates and transport/cleanup buffers.
- Assets & fleet — add each unit (make, model, serial, home branch, status).
3. Invite your team
Add users under Settings → Team and assign a role — owner, dispatcher, yard, accounting, sales or viewer. Roles gate exactly what each person can see and do.
4. Send your first quote
From the dashboard, click New quote. Pick a customer and equipment class and a rental window — Strexada checks live availability and prices it instantly. Save it, and it enters the quote pipeline ready to reserve, confirm and convert.
