FastFee is India's rental payment collection layer for construction equipment, heavy machinery, and plant hire businesses. Your ERP tracks assets, dispatch, and maintenance. FastFee runs the money workflow: invoice → WhatsApp reminder → UPI AutoPay → partial payment → overdue → recovery → reconciliation. Trusted with ₹42 Cr+ in rental collections across construction, infrastructure, and industrial businesses.
Keep Your Rental ERP
Asset tracking, dispatch scheduling, GPS, maintenance, breakdown records — your ERP or field tracker continues to handle this. No migration risk.
FastFee Runs the Money Layer
Invoice → WhatsApp reminder → UPI / AutoPay / eNACH → partial payment → overdue queue → field recovery → reconciliation. All in one workflow, all sites unified.
How Construction Rental Collection Works with FastFee
Import rentals from your ERP
Sync active rental agreements — client, equipment, rate, deposit, cycle, site — from your ERP via CSV or API. Weekly/monthly/daily cycles all supported.
Auto-invoice on cycle
FastFee auto-generates GST invoices (SAC 9973) on your billing cycle. Partial-month usage, damage charges, and fuel/operator additions handled as line items.
Send + collect via WhatsApp
Invoice + payment link auto-sent on WhatsApp. Client pays via UPI (single-click), AutoPay for recurring, or eNACH for large contracts. 90% open rate.
Recover overdue systematically
Site-wise overdue dashboard prioritises recovery. PTP tracking, escalation ladder, and field agent assignment by site radius. Chronic defaulters flagged for supply hold.
Built for the Complexity of Construction Rentals
Six features that generic rental billing software doesn't handle well.
Site-Wise / Project-Wise Outstanding
Tag every rental agreement to a site or project code. See outstanding by construction site, contractor, project phase, or client. Consolidated views for multi-site contractors like L&T, Shapoorji, or independent EPCs.
Security Deposit vs Rental Due
Separate deposit ledger from recurring rental. Deposits held against damage, late return, or contract closure. Auto-adjust deposit against final invoice at return, with client-facing statement.
Weekly / Monthly / Daily Hire Cycles
Different equipment on different cycles. Concrete mixer on daily hire, tower crane on monthly, scaffolding on weekly. Each cycle runs independent invoicing and reminders.
Partial Payment Handling
Construction clients rarely pay full invoice at once. Record ₹50k paid against ₹1.5L invoice with automatic remaining balance carry-forward. Client sees clear ledger; no disputes.
Late Dues + Overdue Recovery
Auto-apply late fees per contract. Escalation ladder: WhatsApp Day 1 → SMS Day 5 → phone call Day 10 → owner call Day 15 → legal notice Day 30. Site-wise defaulter list for supply hold decisions.
Multi-Branch / Multi-Site Collection
Delhi office, Bangalore project, Mumbai depot — one dashboard, separate ledgers, unified reporting. Roles for branch manager, site engineer, accounts, and owner.
A Real Construction Rental Scenario
Business: A construction equipment rental company in Pune with 40+ machines (JCBs, cranes, scaffolding) and 30+ active clients across 8 construction sites.
Problem before FastFee: Salesman visits every site for rent + fuel bills, cash gets misplaced, monthly reconciliation takes 5 days, ₹80L+ outstanding at any time, disputes over partial payments because Excel doesn't track properly, and 3 chronic defaulters keep taking new equipment.
With FastFee:
- Site-wise ledger for each of the 8 projects — L&T site outstanding, Shapoorji site outstanding, etc.
- WhatsApp payment link sent every Monday for weekly hire clients; UPI AutoPay for monthly hire clients.
- Partial payments recorded cleanly: ₹40k paid against ₹1.2L invoice, remaining ₹80k carried forward with automatic reminder.
- Overdue queue prioritised by site; site engineer sees only their site's outstanding.
- Chronic defaulter (60+ days overdue on 3+ invoices) flagged in dispatch approval → new equipment blocked until payment.
Result: Outstanding reduced from ₹80L to ₹22L in 90 days. Monthly reconciliation from 5 days to 4 hours. Fuel and damage disputes near-zero because each is a clean line item on the client-facing ledger.
