Booqable

Just the equipment management software I've been dreaming of

Commenti: Time savings and management. Simple as that.

Aspetti positivi:

Number 1 - Customer support. I've never dealt with a company who works with you on such a personal level and takes care of basically anything you ask for. These guys are true professionals. After that, its all still so great. The fact that I can manage my inventory, while also populating my website and show what equipment is available to rent saves me an insane amount of time. On top of that, it's integrated with quoting and invoicing. You work out of one database and are able to use it over multiple uses. It honestly couldn't be easier or time saving.

Aspetti negativi:

There aren't many issues that I have with this software. One of things I brought up was to have the calendar subscription for iCal or Google Calendar show not only the Reserved items, but also what items are Concepts. The built in calendar works great when you're on a computer. But when I need to use my mobile, I generally look to my Google Calendar to get a quick glance of whats going on. Going on all of that, a stand alone app would be great as well. These aren't really cons, just things that would improve the experience.

Perfect for a van rental agency! Just what we were looking for!

Commenti: We love Booqable! It has been extremely helpful! Way better than Google Calendar for the size of our fleet. If we could just get those things mentioned above implemented, we would love it that much more!

Aspetti positivi:

The calendar, inventory management/control, and scheduling is HUGE for us and extremely important to this business to manage our fleet. We were using Google Calendar before. That may be fine with 3 or 4 vans but not we have 14 and that was not a good fit anymore. I'm the new GM here. I found Booqable on my 2nd day on the job and we haven't looked back!

Aspetti negativi:

We love Booqable but we have noticed a few things that could really make a huge impact if they were implemented. Color coding - we would like to be able to change the colors on the calendar to mean different things for us.The stock number (1) within the colored strip on the calendar isn't helpful for us. If we could enter our own info such as the clients name and van choice that would be helpful.We have steps within our process that we would like to reflect on the calendar by a different colored box. For example: If we could start as a "draft" (with a specific color) which means someone has interest and has put a 48hr hold on a van. Then, a different color when a client signs a contract, and different color when a client has paid the invoice. When both are complete, at that point, go ahead and mark them as "Reserved". Also, a "draft" would need to remove a van from inventory. The problem that we're seeing is that a draft does not remove a van from inventory so it looks like we have a van available when odds are, it'll be booked. Right now, we are just using the calendar to view availability for each van rather than the "check availability" feature because those drafts do not remove inventory and they have not signed the contract or paid the invoice yet.

BOOQABLE Good option for online rental inventory

Commenti: Overall I use BOOQABLE to help add in gear rental to my own invoices in quickbooks.It helps me as an online platform to show my clients what type of gear I have for rental. Most of the time it helps them choose items to rent from me personally instead of a rental house.

Aspetti positivi:

There aren’t many options for creating an online store for rental. BOOQABLE is the best option I have found for creating a viewable, store inventory for renting equipment.

Aspetti negativi:

The app isn’t great, it just ok. When processing and order as practice for myself, it’s not smooth. There are some places where clicking around will get you there, but I don’t like sending my clients to the app. Also trying to find the link from the dashboard to send your store to clients isn’t straight forward.

Great equipment rental software for small shops

Commenti: Overall it's working out pretty well so far. The support team doesn't seem to be quite on my same business hours but they are very fast to respond during their hours.

Aspetti positivi:

Speed of the application is a high priority for me, I don't like waiting for software to "think". Booqable is pretty fast getting things done. Overall the software is pretty intuitive and while I do want more features I appreciate that Booqable does the basics very well. Some other softwares are so full of features it's difficult to get started and a lot of them you don't need or won't actually use in practice. It is able to handle my unique business hours of being open in the morning and the afternoon with a break in the middle of the day.

Aspetti negativi:

I'd like to have an actual card reader so I don't have to manually enter credit card information for each customer that walks in. I'd like to see more reporting built out so I can easily get better data on my businesses' operations.

Alternative considerate: Point of Rental Software e EZRentOut

Perché scegliere Booqable: Square couldn't handle tiered rental times. I could add variations on each item for different lengths of time but it was cumbersome and hard to change quotes over the phone for customers asking about renting multiple items at the same time. Square's software was also very often sluggish which drove me up the wall =)

Perché passare a Booqable: I'm a new business and I've had a slow start. My processes are pretty simple so I don't need a robust software system to manage teams and other aspects of my business. Booqable has a good balance of features vs cost that made it a pretty clear choice for me.

You need Booqable- Trust me

Commenti: Initially I was going to cancel the subscription with booqable until I took my time and watched the videos on how to maneuver the site and get things done. It was not until I started the 30 min one-on-ones with a coach that my mind was blown on just how much of a gem Booqable is. They really help customize your website to fit your needs and teach you far more things about the site than you can do on your own.

Aspetti positivi:

I liked that our company could manage every single thing that we need on this one site. There was no need for us to integrate into another site. The ease of functioning on one system/site makes running the business easier and less frustrating.

Aspetti negativi:

The only complaint that I have is that there is only one website template. As the options grow I am sure it will bring Booqable to the next level!

Alternative considerate: Squarespace

Perché scegliere Booqable: While the aesthetics of Wix is amazing, the functionality of Wix when it comes to renting products and inventory management and payment processing, Wix is not comparable to Booqable.

Software precedente: Wix

Perché passare a Booqable: Price and reviews and the perceived functionality of everything.
