February 2026
Welcome to the February 2026 release of Latner Software! We’re excited to bring you another month of meaningful improvements across Sub Hire Management, Standard Notes, Wet Hire / Operator workflows, and a range of operational refinements designed to make your day‑to‑day processes smoother and more connected.
This release includes several highly requested enhancements along with continued workflow improvements across the platform. Please see below for the full details of what has changed.
New Features
Sub Hire Managed For Equipment
Equipment that you manage on behalf of other suppliers can now be sub‑hired directly onto rental contracts. This allows you to track supplier costs accurately while still treating the item as part of your operational fleet. It provides clearer visibility, cleaner billing, and a more consistent workflow for mixed‑ownership assets.
Standard Notes
Rental Contract and Rental Quote external notes can now use repeatable templates. Simply set up your preferred Standard Notes templates and copy them in when creating external notes, ensuring consistency and saving time across your team.
Wet Hire / Operator Docket
Operator‑based pricing can now be configured directly against equipment, enabling the creation of operator dockets. These dockets can also be assigned through Operator Allocation, allowing operators to view and complete them on their mobile device. Once submitted with timesheets, the docket flows through for approval, creating a seamless end‑to‑end Wet Hire workflow. See more information on the documentation for your reference.
Mobile Operators app streamlines wet-hire operations by giving operators everything they need on their phone. Pre-starts, timesheets, digital signatures, customer & equipment info. It replaces all paper-based processes, ensuring faster invoicing, more accurate compliance and effortless record-keeping from the field.
