Frequently Asked Questions.

Why doesn't Point of Rental have a free trial like Booqable?

Because Point of Rental has multiple platforms, each of which are crazy customizable, throwing someone into a free trial is like handing a renter their equipment and an instruction manual. We find that people are more successful when we guide 'em through using the software first and answer their questions.

Is Point of Rental complicated to use?

Point of Rental is as complex as you want it to be. If you want security settings that define exactly which aspects of your software each employee can update, for example, you can do that. If you want everyone to have the same access, you can do that, too. Every business operates differently; we accommodate thousands of businesses' needs worldwide.

What's Point of Rental's pricing?

We build software that's going to work for you instead of putting you in a bucket. That means we're going to build a quote based on your specific needs, and we can adjust your features, users, etc. as your needs change. We'll talk pricing when we figure out what will set you up for success.

Do you integrate with other business tools, like Quickbooks?

Yes! We integrate with so many tools across industries and countries, it's impossible to list 'em all here; contact us with any integrations you have questions about.
