📚 System Tutorial
A complete walkthrough of Build Link Global (B-Link) — the equipment rental platform connecting contractors with verified equipment owners. Explore by your role or any topic below.
Platform Overview
B-Link is a digital marketplace that connects contractors who need heavy equipment with owners who rent it out. The platform handles search, booking, secure payments, contracts, inspections, reviews, and maintenance tracking — all in one place. Admins oversee verifications, disputes, and platform operations.
Discover
Search equipment by category, location, price, brand, and availability on a map.
Book
Instant or request-based booking with date selection, delivery options, and digital contracts.
Earn
Owners list for free and get paid securely via Stripe. Platform takes a 10% service fee on completed rentals.
For Contractors
Find Equipment
Go to Browse and filter by category, brand, fuel type, price range, and year. Use the map view to find equipment near you, or the "Near me" button for geolocation. Toggle date filters to see only what's available for your dates.
View Details
Click any equipment to see full specs, photos, the availability calendar, owner trust score, reviews, location map, and rental conditions. Check for the Verified Supplier badge and damage insurance options.
Select Dates & Book
Pick your start and end dates on the availability calendar. The system auto-applies volume discounts for weekly and monthly rentals. Choose instant booking or request mode, add delivery if available, and add to cart or book directly.
Sign Digital Contract
Review the rental terms and e-sign the digital contract before checkout. Your payment is held in escrow until the equipment is returned.
Pay Securely
Pay with Stripe. The breakdown includes the rental subtotal, service fee (10%), optional insurance and delivery, and a refundable security deposit.
Inspect on Delivery
Complete the pre-rental inspection checklist — upload photos and let AI detect any pre-existing damage. This protects you from unfair damage claims at return.
Return & Review
After use, complete the post-rental inspection, return the equipment, and leave a review (condition, communication, service speed). Rewards points are added to your loyalty account.
Job Site Assistant
Upload a photo of your site and AI recommends what equipment you need.
Loyalty Rewards
Earn points on every rental — redeem them for discounts on future bookings.
For Equipment Owners
List Your Equipment
Go to List Equipment and fill in code, description (English auto-translation included), category, specs, rates (daily/weekly/monthly), photos, and rental conditions. New listings go to an admin for approval before going live.
Manage Availability
Use the Dashboard calendar to block off dates your equipment is unavailable. The availability calendar on your listing auto-updates so renters can't double-book.
Approve Requests
Review incoming booking requests. Approve or decline them. Instant-book listings skip this step.
Track Earnings
The Earnings tab shows total revenue, monthly performance, and average per booking — with the 10% platform fee already deducted. Payouts are released via Stripe after the rental completes.
Log Maintenance
Track preventive and corrective maintenance per equipment — dates, technicians, costs, and next-service dates. AI predicts when maintenance is due and alerts you before it's overdue.
Boost with AI Tools
Use the Listing Quality Analyzer to compare your listing against top performers, the Dynamic Pricing tool to optimize rates, and the Seasonal Demand forecast to know when to relocate or raise prices.
Promote Listings
Request featured status to highlight your equipment in search results.
Expense Panel
Compare actual maintenance spend vs budget by category each month.
For Administrators
The Admin Dashboard gives full control over the platform:
Approve Listings
Review and approve/reject pending equipment listings before they go live.
User Management
Verify user identities, suspend accounts, scan for fraud, and assign representatives.
Bookings & Calendar
View all platform bookings and manage availability across all equipment.
Bulk Maintenance
Scan for overdue maintenance and reschedule dates in one click; pause alerts for inactive equipment.
Reports
Revenue, booking lifecycle, contractor/owner reports, profitability, and crash-damage analytics — exportable.
ISMS / Security
ISO 27001 controls, risk register, security incidents, privileged access, and supplier management.

Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Renters pay upfront; owners receive payouts after the rental ends.
A refundable security deposit is held and returned after the post-rental inspection confirms no damage.
Optional damage insurance covers accidental damage during the rental period.
