About us

We build software for people who hire things out

Rent in Hand started in 2018 because the rental businesses we knew were running on spreadsheets, paper contracts and memory. It is still the same job: make the hire desk work.

How we got here

Built next to a real hire counter, not in a lab

The first version was written for one rental business that was losing kit and double-booking customers. Everything since has come from the same place: an operator says what breaks, and we fix that. That is why the product has a repair workshop and deposit handling while more polished competitors do not.

  • Started with a single rental point in 2018
  • Now used across construction, events, photo, sport and medical hire
  • Multi-currency and multi-language from the ground up
  • Open REST API so you are never locked in

How we work

Three habits that decide what we build and what we refuse to build.

  • Operators first

    Feature requests from people running a hire desk beat requests from anyone else, including us.

  • No lock-in

    Your data is exportable and the API is open on paid plans. Leaving should be easy, so staying is a choice.

  • Say what it does

    We would rather tell you the product is a poor fit than sell you a year of something you will not use.

Try it on your own kit

Seven days, full access, no card. If it does not fit your operation, tell us why — that is how the roadmap gets written.
