Rental & hire.
Availability by date rather than quantity, with off-hire, damage and re-hire handled on the same records.
What changes when you switch this pack on.
A pack is not a separate product or a higher tier. It sets which areas light up, the words on screen, the figures on your home page and the order you get set up in.
- Availability by date range rather than by quantity on hand
- Hire contracts with rates by day, week or month, and minimum terms
- Off-hire captured on the date it actually happened, not the date it was noticed
- Damage and loss raised against the contract, with the charge on the same invoice
- Re-hire from a third party recorded as ordinary stock on a temporary location
- Utilisation per asset, so you can see what is earning and what is sitting
Your home page, in your own terms.
The home screen opens on what is out, what is due back and what is available to promise for a given date range.
The honest boundary.
A pack changes defaults, vocabulary and the shape of the home screen. It does not add a separate database, a separate ledger or a separate product — and it does not lock you in. Switch it off and you have the full standard system, with every record you created still in place.
Free on every plan
Packs are included on Launch through Enterprise+. There is no pack tier and no per-pack charge.
Switchable later
Change the pack when the business changes. Your data does not move and nothing is re-keyed.
None is a valid answer
With no pack enabled you get the full standard system — every module, no industry vocabulary.

Frequently asked questions.
How is availability different from ordinary stock?
Ordinary stock asks how many you have. Hire asks whether a particular asset is free between two dates. Cobalt ERP holds availability against the calendar, so a promise for next Tuesday accounts for what is already booked.
Does this pack cost extra?
No. Every industry pack is included on every plan, from Launch to Enterprise+.
Can I switch this pack off later?
Yes. A pack sets defaults, vocabulary and the shape of the home screen. Switching it off leaves every record you created in place and gives you the full standard system.
What is the availability of this pack?
Available. Wholesale & distribution is the pack most Cobalt ERP customers run today; Subscription & recurring is in beta with early-access teams.
Run Cobalt ERP the way you already describe your business.
