How it works
what3words support is built into Renttix — there is no account to connect and no key for you to supply. Renttix converts between three-word addresses and coordinates, so a what3words address captured against a delivery location becomes a precise map position the driver can navigate to. In practice that means a customer can give you three words over the phone and you can store them against the order. The driver gets a specific point rather than an approximate one, which is the whole difference on a site that has no street address at all.
Why it matters
Delivery addresses in hire are frequently not addresses. A construction site is a postcode that covers a large area with several entrances, only one of which a lorry can use. An event site is a field. A rural job may have no address at all beyond a road name and a description of a gate. The cost of that imprecision is concrete and repetitive: the driver phones for directions, circles the site, or delivers to the wrong entrance and has to reload. Every one of those is paid driver time and a late delivery. Three words identify a three-metre square, which is precise enough to mean the correct gate rather than the general vicinity.
Key workflows
Precise delivery points
Store a three-word address against a delivery location so the driver navigates to the specific entrance or drop point rather than to a postcode centroid.
Addresses for places without one
Sites with no usable street address — fields, compounds, rural access points — can still be identified exactly, which matters most for the deliveries that go wrong most often.
Built in, nothing to set up
what3words conversion is part of the platform. There is no account to connect, no key to manage and no per-tenant configuration to maintain.
what3words sits alongside address autocomplete and route planning in the Renttix delivery stack. The precise point it captures feeds the same dispatch job the driver sees in the Renttix Field app, so the precision reaches the person who actually needs it.
what3words FAQ
No. Support is built into Renttix at the platform level — there is nothing for you to connect, no key to supply and no per-tenant setup.
Each combination identifies a three-metre square, which is precise enough to distinguish one site entrance from another — the distinction that usually causes failed or delayed deliveries.
Yes, and that is often the easiest route. A site contact can read three words over the phone or send them in a message, and you store them against the order for the driver to navigate to.
