Booking is part of Rental & Fleet Utilisation in Windward System Five. System Five includes 6 documented capabilities here — all 6 optional. Trades that lean on it include Powersports Sales Service & Rental, Party & Equipment Rental Businesses, Medical Supply Sales, Service & Rental.
These 6 capabilities sit within System Five's 1287-capability documented set — a selection, not a ceiling.
See a double-booking as it happens
A rental line whose requested quantity exceeds availability shows a Conflict status button on the invoice; clicking it opens the reason in a Conflict Information panel, also shown on the invoice Rental Times tab. Conflict popups can be shown or suppressed by setting.
Work through every clash before pickup
The Conflicts tab lists over-booked items for a date range in Conflicts Only or Invoice Details mode, filterable to a single part or a part range, with conflicting invoices shown in red against black.
Take the booking and sort the shortfall
Bookings beyond available quantity are permitted rather than blocked, and every resulting clash is surfaced in a Conflicts report so staff can sub-contract, buy, move retail stock into the rental pool or substitute closer to pickup.
Quote without tying up the kit
A rental quote can be issued as an estimate, which holds nothing, or as a work order, which actually reserves the items. An estimate is converted to a work order and re-checked for conflicts when the customer commits.
See what is free for those dates
A reservation is built by entering a start date and a duration or end date against a rental category tree; the Availability column fills as categories are expanded, and the setting persists between sessions.
See the whole fleet's bookings at once
The Schedule tab plots bookings for the selected items as coloured blocks — one column per unit of quantity, time of day or dates down the side — viewable by day, week, month or year.
