System Five on Cloud · Rental & Fleet Utilisation

Rental Inventory

Rental Inventory is part of Rental & Fleet Utilisation in Windward System Five. System Five includes 4 documented capabilities here — all 4 optional. Trades that lean on it include Powersports Sales Service & Rental, Party & Equipment Rental Businesses, Medical Supply Sales, Service & Rental.

These 4 capabilities sit within System Five's 1287-capability documented set — a selection, not a ceiling.

Optional

Availability separate from stock Optional — Rental #

Keep rental availability separate from stock counts

Renting an item out does not remove it from inventory stock counts; availability for a booking window and on-hand stock are tracked as two different things. Rental items can also be sold off the fleet, which does deplete stock.

Dynamic and Tag-Along rental kits Optional — Rental #

Rent a kit and get everything back

A kit puts several parts on the invoice in one action. Dynamic kits check availability of every sub-item for the period (a canopy plus its four poles); Tag-Along kits check only the main item, price sub-parts at zero as included in the main rate, but still track each sub-part's out/returned status.

Rental categories Optional — Rental #

Set up what is available to rent

Every item offered for rent sits in a dedicated rental category or sub-category, flagged with type 'R', which is what exposes the rental rate and scheduling behaviour on the item. Unlimited categories can be created.

Serialized and non-serialized renting Optional — Rental #

Rent pooled kit or a specific unit

The same module rents pooled non-serialized stock and individually serialized units. On a reservation the specific serial is left unassigned and is only chosen at pickup, when the actual available unit is known.
