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 village-hall PA package

Hold speakers, mixer and microphones through test, setup and cable return.

The outdoor-function system

Keep postcode delivery and the larger speaker package together.

A school-event speech setup

Quote compact and larger systems as distinct choices.

Inspection before the next hirer

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

The first postcode

A village-hall PA package: public booking captures one postcode; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

A school-event 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 outdoor-function system: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

BACS receipt reaches the office

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

A return needs staff attention

A school-event 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 outdoor-function 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 village-hall PA package: the accepted quote and manually recorded BACS receipt keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote first

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

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    The outdoor-function system: apply BACS receipt or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.

  • Emails are switched on deliberately

    A school-event 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

A hirer can select compact PA package or larger speaker-and-mixer package and an open time online, with one postcode beginning the hire record.

Scheduling

The timeline holds the complete sound system hire through the cable and speaker check; the selected sound system stays off the public page.

Standing bookings

For regular sound system hire, repeat one weekday each week or every other week instead of rebuilding the same hire by hand.

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

Enable the email reminder when the compact PA package booking needs one, rather than assuming every hire should send the same message automatically.

Customers

Returning hirers retain their hire history and staff notes, so the next request begins with useful context. The booking remains clear.

Estimates

Send a quote that distinguishes compact PA package from larger speaker-and-mixer package, then convert the approved version into the hire.

Payments

Customers settle offline by BACS receipt or cash; staff record each receipt on the booking and retain a visible open balance.
