What it can include
What can a booking system for rental businesses do?
You don't have to order everything at once. Start with booking and payments.
Availability per item
Every bike, car, boat or room has its own calendar. Customers see what is free for their dates and book by the hour, day or week.
Prices by duration and season
Hourly, daily and weekly rates, weekend and season prices, and discounts for longer rentals, set by your team in the admin panel.
Deposits and payments
Payment or a deposit at booking, a card hold for damage, and the invoice issued after payment.
Pick-up and return
A QR code for pick-up, a checklist at return, and the item back on sale as soon as it is checked in.
Several locations
Items at different pick-up points, one view of the whole fleet, and transfers between locations.
Works in the field
A local server at the rental point keeps pick-ups and returns running when the internet drops, then syncs back.
Built from the Island-mode server skillSelf-service point
Customers book or collect a rental on a touchscreen at the counter, without waiting for staff.
Built from the Booking kiosk skillIntegrations
Calendars, accounting, insurance, telematics or locks, with any tool that has an API.
When it makes sense
When is your own system worth it?
A ready-made platform is a good start. If it does all you need, stay with it. Your own system makes sense when:
- You rent many items and track them in spreadsheets
- Prices change by season, duration or customer type
- You run several pick-up points
- A booking platform takes a cut of every rental

Questions
What do owners ask first?
Yes. Bikes, vehicles, equipment and spaces can each have their own rules, prices and booking units in the same system.
Yes. A card hold is placed at booking and released at return, or charged if something is damaged.
The price depends on the scope and is fixed before the build starts. Most projects fall between $15k and $50k. It is a one-time cost, with no subscription and no commission on bookings.
You get a clickable prototype and a quote within 48 hours of the brief. The build takes two to three weeks, and kickoff to production is six to eight weeks, including migration and handover.
We move your customers, bookings and history into the new system, even when the current provider has no export. The old tool keeps running until the data matches, so bookings never stop.
You do. The code, the data and the documentation are handed over. It runs in your own cloud account or on our infrastructure, and 3 years of support are included.
