Built for your trade
For hire companies: every item, one calendar.
Hire is scheduling wearing a business suit: every item has its own diary, every job has delivery windows, and the deposit question is really a damage question. Generic booking tools fall over here — this needs availability per thing, not per person.
The first problem
Availability lives per item
Three of these, one of those, two already out Saturday: booking anything means checking everything. Per-item calendars with automatic conflict-blocking end the whiteboard era.
The second
Delivery windows make or break the day
Collection and return slots, travel time between drops, and what fits in which van — route-aware scheduling turns a stressful Saturday into a list.
The third
Deposits, damage and the awkward email
Security deposits held by card, condition photos at handover, and pre-written damage flows mean the awkward conversation is a process, not a confrontation.
What we build for this trade
Per-item availability with conflict-blocking, customer-facing booking that only offers what is genuinely free, delivery and collection scheduling, card-held security deposits, and condition records at both ends of the hire.
Why believe us
The kit, crew and scheduling patterns come straight from Gig Nest’s agency tier — built for businesses whose calendar is a fleet, not a person.
Questions from your trade
Can customers see live availability for specific items?
Yes — the site only offers what is genuinely free for their dates, which kills the enquiry-then-disappoint cycle.
Can it handle security deposits properly?
Card-held deposits released after return, with condition photos logged at handover and collection — protection that does not feel hostile.
We hire out 200+ items — is that a problem?
No — categories, quantities and individual serialised items are all modelled. Two hundred items is exactly why the whiteboard stopped working.
