“UpRate has replaced many of our manual processes, allowing us to manage everything in one centralised system.”
Alan McCaigHire Desk ManagerForsyth of Denny · Scotland
I have found the Uprate Resource Management System to be an extremely useful tool for managing our resources and day-to-day operations. The onboarding process was straightforward, with clear guidance and support that made it easy to get up and running quickly. Even for new users, the system is easy to learn and doesn't require extensive training. UpRate has replaced many of our manual processes, allowing us to manage everything in one centralised system.
One of the biggest benefits is how responsive the platform is to updates and amendments. Changes can be made quickly and are reflected immediately, helping to keep projects and resource schedules accurate and up to date. This flexibility has made it much easier to adapt to the ever-changing requirements of our customers.
The invoicing functionality is another major advantage. The ability to generate and manage invoices directly within the system, combined with seamless integration with Xero, has significantly streamlined our financial processes. The direct link to Xero reduces duplicate data entry, improves accuracy, and saves valuable administrative time.
Overall, Uprate has become an integral part of our business. It is easy to use, reliable, and continues to evolve through practical updates and improvements. The combination of resource management, invoicing, rapid amendments, and Xero integration has helped us work more efficiently, reduce administration, and maintain greater control across our operations.
“UpRate has made day-to-day work much easier, everyone has a clearer view of what’s happening, which means fewer follow-ups and better communication with the team.”

UpRate has made day-to-day work much easier, everyone has a clearer view of what’s happening, which means fewer follow-ups and better communication with the team.
Tasks are simpler to manage, giving us more time to focus on customer support.

Frequently asked questions
Plant-hire businesses that need to organise customers, hire contracts, equipment, people and invoices. Whether you hire cranes or other plant, the aim is to keep the work connected.
Essential includes customer and contact management and hire contracts, up to 20 new customers and 120 new sales contracts per month. These Sales Manager features are included in every package.
Standard includes customer and contract management, plant and labour records, assignments, scheduling and timesheets. Professional adds invoicing. Both people and plant are included in the resource allowance.
Yes. Business combines customer and contract management with invoicing. It includes Sales Manager and Invoice Manager, but not resource scheduling or timesheets.
Choose new customers and new sales contracts per month, scheduled resources and team members independently. Each shared CRM block includes 20 new customers and 120 new sales contracts per month; the larger requirement determines the blocks. Essential’s first extra CRM block is £99 + VAT per month, then £15 + VAT per block; other packages add £15 + VAT per block. Standard and Professional require resources: 1–50 buys 50, then each extra 10 adds £52.50 + VAT or £105 + VAT respectively. Each extra 5 team members costs £50 + VAT per month, added independently. Essential includes 1 team member, Business and Standard 5, and Professional 10. Adding team members alone does not trigger Essential’s £99 + VAT CRM charge.
Annual billing takes 10% off the package base and all CRM, resource and team additions. The displayed price is the monthly equivalent; the annual total appears underneath.
