Backdrops, arches, vases and drape get booked, set up, struck down and returned - usually by different people on different days. The stock does not care that it is beautiful. It still has to be counted.
STOCK THIS HANDLES
Everything is tracked as a bulk quantity rather than an asset record. Forty chairs are forty interchangeable units, which is how they are actually loaded, counted and lost.
WHAT GOES WRONG
You own six gold arches, not sixty. When stock is thin, a single yes given from memory is the whole problem. Availability is worked out from the bookings that created it, so the number on the screen is the number on the shelf.
An event's stock is unavailable from the day it leaves to the day it is back and reset, including the prep and cleaning days you set per item. Book the dates and the calendar does the rest.
Contacts, addresses, tags, logged conversations and every past booking sit on one customer record, so the answer takes a glance instead of a scroll through a phone.
HOW IT WORKS
The items you actually rent, in the quantities you actually have.
Availability follows the booking, including turnaround days.
Count it in and put damage, repairs and losses where they belong.
Every adjustment is auditable, so the next quote starts from a known figure.
