SABSUS

Rental operations

Reserve the item.
Not another spreadsheet.

SABSUS connects the rental product, exact start and finish, required quantity and customer in one order. Check availability over the whole period, quote the configured time-based price and keep the reservation beside its payment history.

  1. 01 · SelectChoose the rental product, quantity and options.
  2. 02 · Set the periodUse an exact start and finish, not just a pickup day.
  3. 03 · Check and quoteEvaluate the schedule, stock and overlapping reservations.
  4. 04 · ConfirmKeep the accepted quote and reservation in the customer order.

The calendar and the stock must agree.

A product can be on the shelf today and already promised for tomorrow. Rental availability has to account for existing commitments throughout the requested interval. SABSUS rental workflows connect native product schedules, stock and order reservations instead of treating every calendar event as unlimited capacity.

Time-based pricing

Use the rental product's configured time-pricing policy. Quote the actual period with the selected quantity and modifiers; applicable promotion and tax settings stay part of the calculation.

Changes without losing the original order

Review a new quote when the customer changes dates, quantity or options. Existing payments remain attached to the order, so staff can see the resulting balance rather than create an unrelated replacement sale.

A shared customer history

Keep contact details, the rental period, selected items and payment context together. The office and service team can work from the same booking instead of forwarding screenshots.

Clear operational boundaries

A confirmed reservation is not evidence that goods were handed over, returned or inspected. Define those operational checks separately; changing a booking must not silently charge or refund the customer.

Example: equipment for an event

A customer requests three rental units from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening. Staff check that all three are available for the complete interval, review the period price and confirm the order. When the customer asks for another day, the team checks the extended interval and new balance before accepting the change. This is an illustrative workflow, not a customer result.

Rental booking questions

Is a quote already a reservation?

No. A quote is advisory. Confirmation must recheck current availability and price before committing the reservation.

Does canceling a rental automatically refund it?

No. Cancellation and a payment refund are separate actions. Paid rentals need the appropriate payment workflow; retained order history explains what changed.

Can rentals share the wider business system?

Yes. Rental orders use the SABSUS catalog, customer and operational context. Confirm the required duration, unit-pricing policy and handover process during setup, particularly for long-term rental contracts.

Test a real rental period before rollout.

Bring one rental product, its rate rules and a typical date-change scenario. The demonstration can cover the quote, reservation, balance and team handoff together.
