Honest scope
Timed recreational inventory. Counts or unique units. Damage deposits. Age and rider rules on the waiver. Turnaround before the next clock.
Warehouse receiving, purchasing, depreciation, barcodes, procurement, heavy equipment, contractor tools, and job-site delivery. Those are different products. We will not pretend otherwise.
What still sits on the reservation
Hold a damage deposit. Release or capture after return. Age, life jacket, and local restrictions belong in the agreement the guest signs before they take the unit.
Many shops rent both. Boat conversion stays on boat rental software. This page is the gear clock — skis, kayaks, boards — not a second inventory product.
Scheduled rental inventory
| Job | What the calendar has to do | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Show only windows that can actually leave. | The yellow ski is out until 1 p.m. 12:30 is not for sale. |
| Assign the reservation to an asset | Lock a specific hull, ski, or counted slot. | Boat 3 for the 10 a.m. four-hour. Two kayaks from a pool of twelve. |
| Prevent double bookings | Two browsers cannot sell the same unit-window. | A hold and a paid checkout cannot both take Ski 2 at noon. |
| Maintenance blocks | A unit in the shop is not inventory. | Impeller job Tuesday. Tuesday cannot take a deposit. |
| Blackouts | Weather, events, or “we are closed.” | Holiday no-rent days sit on the same board as trips. |
| Availability calendars | Staff and guests see the same clock. | The dock board and the website are not two spreadsheets. |
| Capacity and duration | Headcount and hours are the product. | A four-hour morning kills the afternoon on that hull. |
| Turnaround | Buffers before the next clock starts. | Fuel, inspect, rinse. A 10 a.m. that returns at 12:05 is not a noon. |
| Staff visibility | Who is out, who is unsigned, what is next. | The 8 a.m. is late; the 10 a.m. guest is already paid. |
| Customer reservations | The guest holds a real unit or count, not a maybe. | Receipt, waiver, and return time on one booking. |
Slipstack does not provide warehouse receiving, purchasing, depreciation, barcodes, procurement, or heavy-equipment dispatch. Those searchers need a different product.
Specific fleets
Timed unique units: jet ski rental software. Counted hulls and launch windows: kayak rental software. Broader rental booking — including boats — sits on rental booking software.
