Equipment rental
Equipment Rental Software Built Around the Unit, Not the Category
If your hire stock is serialised and valuable, you need to know which unit went out, who has it, what condition it left in, and what it has earned. Music Shop Suite tracks hires at the unit level and keeps the agreement, deposit, and return condition on the same record.
- Every hire tied to a specific serial number
- Agreements with term, rate, deposit, and damage terms
- Condition photos captured at issue and at return
- Live on-hire board with due dates and overdue days
- Earnings and utilisation per unit and per category
Utilisation tells you what to buy next
Revenue per unit and days-on-hire show which items pay for themselves and which are dead capital. Buy the third of what is always out rather than another of what never leaves.
- Days on hire and revenue per unit
- Idle stock highlighted by category
- Maintenance cost set against earnings
Returns are an inspection, not a shrug
Compare the return against the issue photographs, record damage, and apply or refund the deposit with the reason attached — so the next conversation is short.
Maintenance without losing the unit
Send a returned item straight to the bench as a work order. It shows as unavailable rather than quietly disappearing off the hire board.
Overdue chasing that is factual
A list with hirer, contact details, days overdue, and balance turns an awkward call into an admin task.
See the workbench before you sign up
Inventory, pricing, lesson bookings, and instrument lending all live in the same back-office dashboard — no separate apps, no re-keying between them.
