They booked that body.

Not a body like it. A shoot matching footage already in the can cannot take the equivalent camera, so 'we have something similar' is a lost job.

Three crew members on one timeline, each with their jobs laid out across the working day so gaps are easy to spot.

One hire from preparation to return.

The complete camera or AV kit hire occupies the selected camera or AV kit through the tested return, with first address and contact ready.

A body without its batteries is not a hire.

Kit goes out as a package and every part of it has to be free on the same days. One missing plate on the Thursday means the whole booking cannot go.

  • The exact item, the whole span

    Each body, lens and desk is its own bookable thing, so nobody finds out on the Friday that the camera they booked went out on Wednesday.

  • Shoots run over

    They always do. Move the return and the price follows the new span, so extra days are charged off your rate card rather than argued about.

  • The value is in the box

    A package worth more than a car goes out on a handshake unless the bond is part of the process rather than something you meant to sort out.

Built for your rental house

Built for every kind of kit hire

A Wellington livestream kit

Reserve the switcher, cameras and audio lines together through bench preparation and tested return.

An Auckland cinema-camera weekend

Keep the selected body and lens package on the booking rather than substituting a generic kit.

The school-hall projector

Record one delivery address publicly and let staff add access and screen notes internally.

Inspection before the next hirer

An Auckland cinema-camera weekend: hold the camera or AV kit after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.

The first street address

A Wellington livestream kit: public booking captures one street address; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

The school-hall projector: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.

Cinema camera kit or projector package

An Auckland cinema-camera weekend: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

Bank transfer reaches the office

A Wellington livestream kit: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.

A return needs staff attention

The school-hall projector: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.

A cancellation returns one camera or AV kit

An Auckland cinema-camera weekend: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.

Pro

Agreement and receipts on one hire.

A Wellington livestream kit: the accepted quote and manually recorded bank transfer keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote first

    A Wellington livestream kit: keep the accepted option, span and service lines attached when the approved document becomes a booking.

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    An Auckland cinema-camera weekend: apply bank transfer or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.

  • Emails are switched on deliberately

    The school-hall projector: the operator chooses whether to enable a confirmation or reminder after details are settled.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your kit hire business.

Online booking

Put cinema camera kit or projector package on the public page with genuine availability; each hirer starts the request from one street address.

Scheduling

Hold the selected camera or AV kit from bench preparation until the tested return; the live diary withholds every conflicting request inside that span.

Standing bookings

Set regular camera or AV kit hire on its single weekday, choose weekly or fortnightly, and end the series when the regular arrangement finishes.

One body, one shoot

The exact item leaves the page for the whole hire, so nobody is told on the Friday that the camera they booked went out on Wednesday.

Bonds

Store the card at booking, place the hold when the kit is collected, and release it or keep part of it when it comes back checked.

Email reminders

The operator can enable an email before the cinema camera kit booking, carrying the booked time and selected item; reminders do not begin by default.

Customers

The customer record joins hirers, venues and local organisations to earlier bookings, internal notes and manually recorded payments.

Team

Match a late camera or AV kit return to a staff member whose hours cover preparation, handover and the expected return.

Payments

Post bank transfer manually against the correct hire, keeping the remainder clear for staff without presenting an online card payment.
