Equipment rental with availability, hire periods and returns
A rental business tracking which unit is out, with whom, and when it is due back.
- Unit-level availability calendar
- Hire agreements and periods
- Overdue tracking
- Condition capture at hire and return
The problem
Availability was a wall planner. Double bookings happened, overdue returns were noticed only when a customer asked for the same item, and damage on return was disputed because nothing recorded the condition at hire.
What we built
We built availability as a calculated position per unit across hire periods, so booking checks real availability rather than a planner. Condition is recorded at hand-over and return, with photographs attached to both.
