Never get caught short.

Rental Rodeo runs your whole hire outfit - quotes, availability, warehouse scanning, transport, invoicing and a customer portal - as one system, at your own web address. From first call to money in.

Show Works Ltd

Live from Show Works Ltd, right now

A working production-hire company in Ascot - and the one Rental Rodeo was built inside.

1,917 barcode scans this month
4,603 items out on hire right now
17,761 individual units tracked
979 products in their public hire shop

Every figure above is queried from their live system as this page loads - scans counted at their warehouse door, kit out on their vans today. Not a brochure, not a mock-up: someone’s actual Saturday.

Drive the real thing.

The demo is the real Rental Rodeo, loaded with a working hire company's fleet - 1,600 products, a live diary of hires, rack designs, invoices, the lot. Real fleet, invented people.

One click signs you straight into the staff dashboard. Build a quote, scan a prep, raise an invoice, wander the warehouse boards. Nobody will phone you.

It resets itself every hour, on the hour. Break anything you like - at :00 it never happened.

Let your customers build the rack.

Drag real kit into a real flight case - bays, panels, ports, rear mounting, the lot - priced as it grows. The finished design lands with your warehouse as a build sheet, not a sketch on scrap paper. Go on: search the palette and drop something in.

Saddling up the live designer…

The customer portal

Your customers watch it happen.

Confirm an order and send one link: kit list, dates, documents, payments and a live animated picture of exactly where their hire is. No logins to invent, no “any update?” phone calls. Six stages, booked to back on the shelf:

ReservedConfirm the order and their page is live - kit, dates and documents behind one link nobody has to remember a password for.

Being preppedEvery scan in your warehouse lands on their page, case by case. They watch their kit being packed.

PackedPicked, checked, ready - your customer knows it before they think to ask.

LoadedOn the van and rolling. The portal moves the moment your warehouse does.

On hireThe whole live hire on one page - documents, payments and requests included.

ReturnedScanned back in and squared away, with the paperwork right where they can find it.

These scenes aren't a video - they're the portal's own code running on this page, fetched live from the demo with a real order's kit. That link opens the very same order.

The hire map

Every job on one map.

Where's the kit? Out on what? Back when? Every live hire pins itself by delivery address - what's out, what's due back, what lands next week - so the whole operation fits on one screen.

Documents

Paperwork that writes itself.

carnet.xlsx
carnet.xlsx

The sheet scrolls sideways — value, weight and country of origin are over there too →

Touring abroad means an ATA carnet: every item, serial number, country of origin, weight and value, totalled, in the format customs expects. Rental Rodeo writes it off the order in one click.

Quotes, invoices and delivery notes come off the same data - change the order and every document follows. Nobody retypes a kit list into a spreadsheet at 11pm before a ferry.

This is a real export - order 4318 on the demo system, row for row, exactly as the .xlsx leaves the building.

The warehouse

Your warehouse, on rails.

The system doesn't stop at the office door. It runs the floor - what to pick, what travels with what, and what's already in the van.

Wall boards in every bay

Hang a screen over each prep bay and it shows that bay's jobs, live - what to pick next, what's been scanned, how far along the prep is. A Raspberry Pi and any TV is all it takes. No logins on the floor, no printouts going stale by lunchtime.

Never forget the flight case again

Tell it once that a desk travels in its case. From then on, whoever adds the desk - your team or a customer in your shop - the case follows it onto the order by itself. Cables, chargers, wave guides: set the rule once and stop chasing forgotten bits to site.

Everything a hire runs on.

Built by people who load vans, for the day-to-day of hiring kit out and getting all of it back.

Orders & quotes

Quote in minutes, confirm in one click - drafts, revisions and sales orders included.

Availability

Promise dates you can keep. Every confirmed booking counted, turnaround buffers included, before you say yes.

Warehouse scanning & prep

Scan everything out and everything back. Prep boards, stock checks and label printing keep the floor honest.

Customer portal

Give every order a live page your customer can follow - kit, documents, payments and requests in one link.

Online hire shop

Take bookings while you sleep. Customers browse your stock, book a hire, design racks - and it all lands in your order list.

Documents & invoicing

Quotes, invoices, delivery notes and carnets off the same order - emailed without leaving the page.

Transport & load planning

Plan the runs, the crew and the vans - and check the load actually fits before the driver finds out it doesn't.

Reporting

Know what's out, what's late and what each job actually made - without exporting a thing to a spreadsheet.

One subscription runs the whole hire.

No modules, no add-ons, no integrations to glue together - enquiry to paid is one flow in one system.
