Can I handle a whole back-to-school rental rush in one system?

Yes. Bulk-create rental contracts, assign serialized instruments to each student, and email parents their agreement and due dates in one pass.

Does it track which school and teacher each rental belongs to?

Yes. Each rental ties to a student, parent/guardian, school, and band director — so you can pull a roster per school in seconds.

What about maintenance and repair credits over the rental term?

Every repair is logged against the instrument and the renter, so end-of-year accounting and damage waivers are already itemized.

Repairs and damage waivers, itemized

Every repair, pad job, and slide alignment is logged against the rented instrument — so when the parent asks what their maintenance plan covered, the answer is already in the ledger.

Renewals without retyping

When a 6th-grader becomes a 7th-grader, renew the rental in two clicks — same instrument, same family, new term, new contract.
