Concepts

The ERP integrations are built on the following concepts

  • An asset is a trackable piece of equipment e.g. a machine or an accessory.
  • Contract item is an entry in a contract that contains information about when an asset is rented out to a customer.
  • Contract is linked to a customer and therefore it connects an asset to a customer.
  • Customer is the customer of the business that can rent (and therefore get access to) an asset (see the Customer API).
