Built for hire desks

Everything a rental operation actually runs on

Not a generic inventory tool with a booking form bolted on. Every screen was built around how a hire business really works.

  • Bookings and availability

    See what is out, what is due back and what is free — by day, by item, by location. Overlaps are blocked before they happen.

    Learn more about Bookings and availability
  • Deposits and damage

    Take a deposit, hold it, return it. Log damage against the exact unit and bill it to the contract it belongs to.

  • Contracts and handover

    Generate the rental agreement from your own template, capture a signature and photograph condition at handover.

  • Repair workshop

    Faults, parts, labour and downtime tracked per item, so you know what a machine really costs you.

  • Counter on mobile

    Scan, hand over, take back and take payment from a phone. No laptop needed on the yard.

  • Money in one view

    Revenue, outstanding balances, deposits held and expenses per location — without exporting anything.

Web dashboard

One screen for the whole hire desk

Your team works from a live calendar and a live catalogue. When something is booked, it is booked everywhere — the widget, the counter and the app all read the same availability.

  • Rental calendar across every location
  • Item-level history: who had it, when, what it earned
  • Roles and permissions per employee
  • Shift handover with cash reconciliation

Booking widget

Let customers book on your own site

Drop the widget into your website and take reservations and payments without a phone call. It shows the same live availability your staff see, so double bookings are impossible.

  • Works on any site — no rebuild needed
  • Live availability from your real catalogue
  • Online payment and deposit at checkout
  • Bookings land straight in your dashboard

Getting started

Live in a day, not a quarter

No implementation project, no consultant, no six-week onboarding.

  1. 01

    Load your kit

    Import from a spreadsheet or add items by hand. Photos, serial numbers, categories and rates.

  2. 02

    Set your rules

    Rates by hour, day or week. Deposits, late fees, discounts and your own contract template.

  3. 03

    Open the counter

    Add your staff, set permissions and start taking bookings — on the desk, the phone or your website.

What it changes

Four numbers you cannot get out of a spreadsheet

Each one is a decision you are currently making on instinct.

  • Utilisation per unit How many days each machine was actually out. Tells you what to buy more of and what to sell.
  • Deposits held A running total of money that is not yours. Reconciled like a float, not mixed into takings.
  • Repair spend per item Parts and labour against revenue, so replace-or-repair stops being a guess.
  • Where every unit is Out, due back, in repair or on the shelf — by serial number, not by category total.

Why people switch

The day the spreadsheet stops working

It is rarely a size. It is the second person taking bookings — from then on the file is a guess, not a record.

On a spreadsheet

  • Two people take bookings, one machine goes out twice
  • Deposits sit in a column nobody reconciles
  • Damage cannot be proved, so it is never charged
  • Nobody can say which machine earns and which loses

On Rent in Hand

  • Availability is per unit and checked at the moment of booking
  • Deposits tracked separately, taken and returned on the record
  • Condition photographed at handover and return, on the contract
  • Revenue, utilisation and repair spend per serial number

End to end

One system for the whole rental cycle

Most tools cover a slice of this and leave you to bridge the rest by hand. Every step below happens in the same place, against the same item record.

  1. 01 Book From your website, the counter or the phone. Availability checked per unit at the moment of booking.
  2. 02 Hand over Contract from your own template, signature captured, condition photographed, deposit taken.
  3. 03 On hire Live view of what is out and what is due. Extensions and part-payments without reissuing anything.
  4. 04 Return Check the kit back in at the counter or on the van. Late fees calculated from your own rules.
  5. 05 Inspect Compare handover and return photos side by side. Damage becomes a workshop job in one click.
  6. 06 Settle Balance, deposit returned or withheld, and the item back in availability the moment it is fixed.

Because it is one record from booking to invoice, the numbers on your dashboard are the operation itself — not a report someone assembled afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to get going?

Most businesses are taking real bookings the same day. Import your kit from a spreadsheet, set your rates, and you are live. If your catalogue is large, send it over and we will load it for you.

Can I take deposits and charge for damage?

Yes. Set a deposit per item or per order, mark it as taken or returned, and log damage against the specific unit so the cost lands on the right contract.

Does it work on a phone?

The mobile app covers the counter jobs: hand over, take back, scan a barcode, photograph condition, take payment. Your team does not need a laptop on the yard.

Can customers book on my own website?

Yes. The booking widget drops into any site and shows live availability from the same catalogue your staff use, so you cannot double-book an item.

What happens to my data if I leave?

It stays yours. Export customers, orders and inventory at any time, and the REST API is open on Business and Pro plans.

Try it on your own kit
