Equipment history

The problem

Equipment quietly leaks out of DME businesses.

The same wheelchair goes out, comes back, gets cleaned, and goes out again, dozens of times. Track that on a spreadsheet and the numbers drift. Units go missing. Returned equipment can look ready before cleaning or repair is finished.

Ghost inventory

You can't tell what you own or where it is, so you re-buy assets you already paid for.

Units that never come back

Equipment walks out the door with no trail. Capital and rental revenue walk with it.

Returned but not ready

A returned unit can be mistaken for ready stock before cleaning or repair is finished.

Everything you need to track equipment

Built for the warehouse, not the billing department

Future reservations

Hold equipment for a customer and see the commitments before accepting another rental.

The scan loop

Scan to find equipment, then confirm its checkout or return. Use a camera, handheld reader, or manual search.

Equipment custody

See whether equipment is ready at the warehouse, with a customer, or held for cleaning or repair.

QuickBooks sync

Read your existing customers from QuickBooks. Billing records stay unchanged.

Due-back & overdue

See rentals going out today, coming back today, and overdue. Leave the return date open when it is unknown.

Cleaning and readiness

Choose which equipment needs cleaning after return. It stays unavailable until someone completes the work and marks it ready.

Recent unit history

Review recent checkouts, returns, and readiness changes by barcode, with staff and timestamps. Keep detailed cleaning and delivery records separately.

One rental record

Keep the equipment, customer, dates, checkouts, and returns together without creating a billing invoice.

Inventory exports

Download unit, equipment type, and customer records as CSV.

The scan loop

Scan the unit. Record the handoff.

Use a phone camera, a handheld reader, or manual search to find equipment. Record the customer and rental dates, then confirm when the equipment actually leaves or returns.

  • Camera scanning or keyboard-wedge handheld readers
  • Open the rental before confirming a checkout or return
  • Review readiness before equipment goes out again

Cleaning and readiness

Turn on a cleaning gate for the equipment that needs it.

Choose Clean before renting again when adding equipment. Returned units and quantities that need cleaning stay unavailable until the work is complete and someone selects Mark ready. A company policy can require cleaning for all equipment.

  • Set the cleaning requirement per equipment type
  • Keep cleaning and repair stock out of available capacity
  • Record when a unit is ready to rent again

How it works

From box to patient to back, in one loop

1. Scan it out

Scan or search for equipment, open its reservation, and confirm what leaves with the customer.

2. Keep the schedule

See reservations going out and rentals coming back, with overdue work on Today.

3. Bring it back

Find the rental and record what actually returned. Keep equipment that needs cleaning or repair unavailable until the work is complete.

Who it's for

Made for equipment that comes back

If the same serialized unit goes out, returns, and gets rented again, TrackDME keeps it accounted for.

Mobility

Wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, and rollators.

Respiratory

Oxygen concentrators, CPAP, and ventilators.

Home care

Hospital beds, lifts, and bedside equipment.

Multi-location

A shared record of reservations, equipment handoffs, and readiness.
