Key Concepts and Terminology

Loopit has a few terms that are used throughout the platform. Below are the key concepts to understand how we might differ from tools you have used in the past.

Assets

Assets are any inventory you wish to record and track in Loopit. Below is a list of some of the assets our customers are using Loopit to manage:

  • Cars

  • Vans

  • Trucks

  • Trailers

  • Scooters

  • e-Bikes

  • Boats

  • Commercial Machinery (eg Forklifts)

  • and more!

Any asset type can be created and loaded into Loopit. Within each Asset, Loopit will record a historical timeline of all activity associated with it. This includes Bookings, Inspections, Issues, and Journeys.

Each asset can be assigned to one or more categories.

Bookings

Bookings is the simple term to manage all of your asset reservations are out with a customer or internal staff member. This can be a rental booking, a subscription booking, a lease, and more. Anytime when you provide an asset that is being utilized, you should create a booking.

There are multiple statuses to a booking. Visit the Bookings article to learn more.

Categories

Categories are tags/labels for your assets. For example, you can label assets by class (such as small SUV), or by offering (such as Rental). Categories then form the grouping logic when it comes to pricing your assets and making your assets available to different offerings, programs, customers, screening rules and more.

For example, within Loopit, you can set up a package that are only eligible on certain vehicle categories. Alternatively, you can price vehicles by category name.

Companies / People

Companies and People are your individual customers. You may have a retail consumer renting a vehicle, or you may have a fleet booking with a company taking out multiple vehicles. Companies and People form the basis of Loopit's customer management tools.

People can be associated with multiple companies (if you desire).

Companies can have mulitple people belong to them.

Bookings can be placed against either a Company or Person.

Inspections

Inspections are conducted against Assets. These inspections can be conducted on either a schedule (for example, every 6 months) or on a handover of a vehicle (for example when a customer picks up or returns an asset).

Each inspection conducted is based off an Inspection Template. These inspection templates can be created and customized in your workspace.

Locations

Locations are nested under Workspaces which helps categorize and define different pickup and drop off locations and/or warehouses that you may offer to your customers. Locations are a core part of reporting and allow you to segment your data e.g. Revenue per location.

Packages

Packages are the offerings that you provide to your customers. These can be paid offerings or non-paid offerings (for example, internal staff booking of a vehicle).

Within each package, you can define the charges that are applicable to the program that you have. If you have tiered packages (such as a low, medium, high tier offering for subscription), you will need to create one package per tier.

Loopit's package system is very powerful as it can define asset categories for eligibility, usage charges and rules, screening requirements and more. Further information can be found in the Packages page.

Programs

Programs help control the packages and how customers create a booking. Programs include subscription, rental, recurring long term rental, loaner vehicles, etc. To learn more visit the programs page.

Users

Users are your internal staff members who need to use Loopit to operate, report, track and manage assets or customers. User accounts can be created and permissions set based on rules that you define.

Workspaces

Workspaces are the container that will hold all the information for your business. All data within the workspace is contained and segregated. Read more about workspaces.
