Rental Management

Track every rental from booking to return

Manage bookings, track rental periods, collect deposits, handle returns, and monitor revenue — all in one place. Built for equipment rental, event supplies, and any rental-based business.

Lost rentals and missed returns cost you money

Most rental businesses track bookings in spreadsheets or on paper. Items go out without proper records, return dates are forgotten, deposits aren't tracked, and overdue rentals slip through the cracks. Argo Books gives you a complete rental management system — every booking, every item, every customer, every date — so nothing gets missed.

  • Full rental lifecycle — Active, Overdue, and Returned status tracking
  • Deposit tracking with paid/unpaid status per rental
  • Automatic overdue detection when return dates pass
  • Revenue tracking with total earned across all rentals

Manage your rental catalog with availability tracking

The rental items page shows every item in your rental catalog with total units, how many are currently available, how many are rented out, and pricing for daily and weekly rates. Each item has a status — Available or All Rented — so you can see at a glance what's ready to go out.

Set deposit amounts per item, track availability across your entire fleet, and see summary cards showing total items, available units, rented-out counts, and items in maintenance. When a rental is created, available counts update automatically.

  • Available vs. rented counts update in real time
  • Daily and weekly pricing per item
  • Configurable deposit amounts for each rental item
  • Status badges — Available, All Rented, In Maintenance

Every rental tracked from start to return

The rental records page gives you a complete view of every rental — past and present. See what's currently out, what's overdue, and what's been returned, all in one sortable table with summary cards at the top.

Color-coded status badges make it easy to spot which rentals are active (green), overdue (red), or returned (blue). Filter by status to see only what needs attention. Click any rental to view full details, generate an invoice, or mark it as returned.

Rental management in Argo Books isn't a complex booking system — it's the rental tracking your business actually needs to stay organized and profitable.

Never miss a return

Overdue rentals are flagged automatically when the due date passes. See which items need to come back at a glance — no manual date checking required.

Track every dollar

Revenue totals, deposit amounts, and payment status are tracked per rental. Know exactly how much you've earned and how much is still outstanding.

Real-time availability

Available and rented counts update as bookings are created and returned. Always know what's in your warehouse and what's out with a customer.

Deposit management

Set deposit amounts per item and track paid/unpaid status per rental. Know which deposits have been collected and which are still outstanding.
