Lease Calculator

A custom lease calculator plugin designed for combines and trucks, allowing users to estimate lease payments based on equipment type, cost, interest rates, and lease terms.

About the Project

Our lease calculator plugin is specifically designed for users in the trucking and heavy equipment industries. It allows users to estimate lease payments for combines, trucks, and other equipment by considering factors like equipment type, cost, interest rates, and lease terms. Originally created as an Excel-based tool using macros and scripts, the plugin has been re-engineered into a modern, user-friendly solution built with jQuery and PHP. It’s divided into two main sections: the Admin Area and the Public Area.

What Makes This Plugin Special

This plugin goes beyond basic functionality to deliver a complete leasing solution tailored for the trucking and equipment industries.

  • Admin Area Customization: Administrators can configure all necessary rates, pricing, and fees directly from the dashboard. This makes it easy to manage the variables needed to calculate accurate lease payments.
  • Dynamic Public Forms: Users interact with four unique forms on the public area, each tailored to specific equipment and lease scenarios.
  • Branded PDF Quotes: After calculations, users can instantly generate a professional, print-friendly PDF that includes all leasing details. The branded format ensures consistent, professional presentations for customers.

Overcoming Challenges

Converting an Excel-based tool into a web-ready plugin came with unique challenges. Our team reverse-engineered the original macros and scripts, transforming them into clean, efficient code for a seamless user experience. We ensured that the plugin not only replicates but enhances the functionality of the original tool, creating a solution that is robust, accurate, and easy to maintain.

The Results

The lease calculator plugin has simplified the leasing process for businesses in the trucking and equipment sectors. With intuitive tools for both administrators and end-users, it’s now easier than ever to manage lease variables and provide accurate estimates. The branded PDF quotes add a polished touch, improving client confidence and professionalism. Whether you’re estimating a lease for a truck, combine, or other heavy equipment, this plugin makes the process fast, reliable, and hassle-free.
