Rental & Event Equipment Tracking — Stop Losing Gear
You rented out 10 speakers last weekend. 8 came back. Which 2 are missing — and who had them?
Common challenges.
Common inventory challenges in rental & events
You don't know what's out and what's back
Equipment goes out for events. Some comes back Monday. Some comes back Thursday. Some never comes back. Without tracking, you can't rent what you can't find.
Double-booking equipment you don't have
You promised a client 20 chairs for Saturday. Turns out 8 of them are still at last week's venue. Now you're scrambling or renting from a competitor.
Damaged equipment doesn't get flagged
It comes back with a dent, a crack, or a missing cable. Nobody notes it. The next client gets broken equipment and blames you.
Inventory counts take an entire day
Counting everything in the warehouse before event season. Walking every aisle, checking every shelf. It takes 8 hours and it's wrong by the next weekend.

How do I see what is out on rent right now?
Check equipment out when it leaves and check it in when it comes back. Anything without a return is still out, so one filtered view shows your entire rented-out list with who has each item and when it is due. This is on the Pro plan at $49/mo and above.
Does it tell me when something is overdue?
Yes. Set a due-back date at checkout and overdue items are flagged in the app. The account owner also gets a daily email summarizing what is past due and by how many days. It is a once-a-day email rather than an instant or text-message alert, so treat it as a morning worklist rather than a real-time notification.
Can it stop me from double-booking equipment?
Not by itself, and it is worth being straight about that. There is no reservation calendar and no forward booking, so the system cannot block a date that is already promised. What it does give you is an accurate live picture of what is out, what is back, and what is available today, which is what makes a booking decision reliable. If you need date-based reservations, you will still want a separate booking tool.
Can I log damage when gear comes back?
Yes. Add a return note when you check an item in, and attach photos to the item itself. Because every checkout and return is retained, you can look back at a specific piece of equipment and see when the damage was recorded and who had it on that rental.
What does it cost for a rental business?
Check-in/check-out starts on Pro at $49/mo with 500 items, 5 locations, and 3 users. Business at $149/mo covers 5,000 items across 50 locations with 15 users, which fits most single-warehouse rental operations. Enterprise at $349/mo is unlimited. Pricing is flat per tier, so a busy season does not raise the bill. The 7-day free trial unlocks every feature on every tier, and no card is required to start.
