Snorkel and dive gear rental
Ask a snorkel and dive gear rental operator what breaks and the answer is never the booking form. The constraint here is service and test intervals held against the individual unit.
NO MONTHLY FEE · 4.5% AT CHECKOUT · PAID BY YOUR CUSTOMER
Dive kit is sized to the person and serviced on a schedule. Masks and fins turn over fast and need sanitising between renters, which puts a cleaning step between return and availability.
Cylinders and regulators carry test and service intervals that make a unit unavailable wherever it happens to be sitting. Certification has to be checked before a dive rental leaves, and a snorkel set going to the same family needs none of that, so one catalogue has to hold both rules.
What the platform does here is narrow and specific. One live view of every unit across every location, with transfers recorded so stock idle at one site can fill demand at another.
The problem it removes: turning away a booking at one location while identical units stand unused at the next. The number to watch is utilisation per location, and the count of refusals made against available stock elsewhere.
Availability sits against individual units, each with its own location, condition and service history, rather than as a count per site. A booking commits a specific unit, which is what keeps the view correct when the same unit gets promised twice in two places.
Eight sets, two locations, one in the workshop. Book against each model and see which one can tell you which set the customer is getting.
Bodhisys charges no monthly fee. The platform takes 4.5%, added to each reservation and paid by your customer rather than by you.
Bodhisys is rental operations software for companies that rent things, vehicles and experiences. It was built for rental inventory rather than adapted from a ticketing system, and it has been in market since 2023.
For dive shops, one live view of every unit across every location, with transfers recorded so stock idle at one site can fill demand at another.
There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.
Bodhisys is younger than FareHarbor and Peek Pro and has a smaller install base. An operator whose revenue is mostly timed tours, or who needs a long list of third-party integrations today, is better served by an incumbent.
A tour flow sells a seat at a time. A rental flow has to capture what leaves, where it goes, when it comes back and who is responsible for it in between.
There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.
Yes. Customers, future reservations and booking history migrate from FareHarbor, Peek Pro and Bike Rental Manager.
