# Book the things, not only the people

> A booking system for rooms, desks, vehicles and equipment: each has its own calendar and rules, and one booking can hold several at once.

A booking feature Timerise builds into custom booking systems its clients own. One fixed project price, typically $15,000 to $50,000, with this feature part of it. Last updated: 2026-10-20.

You rent rooms, desks, cars or lanes, and a tool built for appointments does not know what to do with them. We build booking systems where every thing you rent has its own calendar, rules and price.

What goes wrong without it:
- Appointment tools think in people and hours. A meeting room, a rental car or a shooting lane needs other rules: by the hour, by the day, with set-up time, with a deposit.
- When one booking needs a room, a person and a projector together, ready-made tools cannot hold all three, so double bookings happen.

How we build it, to the client's rules:
- Anything you rent: Rooms, desks, vehicles, lanes, boats or tools. Each one with its own calendar, capacity and price.
- Several at once: One booking holds a room, the person who runs it and the equipment, or none of them.
- Floor plan or map: Customers pick a desk on a floor plan or a car on a map, and see what is free right now.
- Time around the booking: Cleaning, set-up and handover time blocked before and after each booking.

Compared with a SaaS tool:
- Model. In a SaaS tool: Built for appointments, with rooms added as a workaround. In your own system: Built around what you actually rent.
- Combinations. In a SaaS tool: One resource per booking. In your own system: Any mix of rooms, people and equipment in one booking.

FAQ:
- Q: Can the price change by hour, day or season?
  A: Yes. Each resource can have its own price by hour, day, season or customer group.
- Q: What does this feature add to the price?
  A: It is part of the one fixed price for your system, and you see it in the quote before the build starts. Most projects cost $15,000 to $50,000 in total, paid once, with no subscription and no commission on bookings.
- Q: Can you add it to a system we already run?
  A: Yes. We build it into a new system or into the one you already run, with its own quote. When the feature has an Agent Skill, your own developers can also build it with the skill.
- Q: Who owns the code?
  A: You do. The code, the data and the documentation are handed over, and the system runs in your cloud account or on ours. Every project includes 3 years of support.
