You have six systems and two engineers.

Dry hire goes out on its own. An operated gig takes a person for the night, and the person is why you can only run two of them however much stock is on the shelf.

  • Dry and operated are different products

    Price them separately and book the engineer’s hours alongside the boxes, so a Saturday sells out on people before it oversells on speakers.

  • Rig and derig are booked time

    A four-hour event occupies two days of van and crew. Block the whole thing and the second gig that weekend is one you can actually service.

  • One system, one gig

    The exact rig leaves the page for its whole span, so the tops going to a wedding are never promised to a corporate on the same night.

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 sound system hire occupies the selected sound system through the cable and speaker check, with first address and contact ready.

Built for your warehouse

Built for every kind of sound hire

A school-ball PA package

Reserve speakers, mixer and microphones through testing, delivery and return count.

The winery-event sound system

Keep the street address and larger package on one booking.

A community-hall speech setup

Quote compact and larger PA options independently.

Inspection before the next hirer

The winery-event sound system: hold the sound system after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.

The first street address

A school-ball PA package: public booking captures one street address; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

A community-hall speech setup: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.

Compact PA package or larger speaker-and-mixer package

The winery-event sound system: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

Bank transfer reaches the office

A school-ball PA package: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.

A return needs staff attention

A community-hall speech setup: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.

A cancellation returns one sound system

The winery-event sound system: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.

Pro

Agreement and receipts on one hire.

A school-ball PA package: the accepted quote and manually recorded bank transfer keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote first

    A school-ball PA package: keep the accepted option, span and service lines attached when the approved document becomes a booking.

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    The winery-event sound system: apply bank transfer or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.

  • Emails are switched on deliberately

    A community-hall speech setup: 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 sound hire business.

Online booking

Put compact PA package or larger speaker-and-mixer package on the public page with genuine availability; each hirer starts the request from one street address.

Scheduling

Hold the selected sound system from warehouse audio test until the cable and speaker check; the live diary withholds every conflicting request inside that span.

Standing bookings

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

One system, one gig

A booked rig leaves the page from load-out to load-in, so the boxes going to a wedding are never promised to a corporate the same weekend.

With or without an engineer

Dry hire and operated hire are different products at different prices, and the engineer’s hours are booked alongside the boxes rather than assumed.

Email reminders

The operator can enable an email before the compact PA package 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.

Estimates

Put compact PA package, larger speaker-and-mixer package and any delivery line on the quote; accepted work can become a booking without retyping it.

Payments

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