Rental management
Lumora Book&Rent brings inventory, availability, orders, payments and documents together with a customer-facing rental website. Customers pick dates, see what is available and book online; your team prepares, hands over and takes back the items from the same system. Because you own the platform instead of renting a store on someone else's, you set your own business rules, design your own website and configure the system around the way your business works.
The work it takes off your plate
01Hosted rental software means a monthly bill and a store that lives on someone else's platform.
Lumora Book&Rent is a platform you own. The website, the data and the configuration are yours.
02Hosted store builders decide which rules and checkout steps you can have.
You define your own pricing structures, rental periods, deposits, lead times and booking rules.
03The same item gets booked twice because availability is tracked in spreadsheets.
Availability is calculated from stock and existing orders and updates as bookings are made, online or by staff.
04The rental website looks like every other store built from the same template.
You design your own customer-facing website, with your branding, pages and domain.
Why it is different
Lumora Book&Rent is delivered as your own platform rather than an account on a shared rental store service. Your website, customer data and configuration belong to you.
Your rental business does not depend on another company's store platform, plan limits or roadmap.
Elsewhere: Rental software is commonly sold as a hosted subscription where the business builds a store inside the vendor's platform.
Pricing structures, rental periods, deposits, taxes, opening hours, lead times and booking conditions are all configurable to match how your business operates.
The system follows your way of working instead of forcing you into a preset one.
Elsewhere: Hosted rental platforms offer a fixed set of rules and settings shared by every store.
The rental website is yours to design: branding, layout, pages and domain, with date selection, live availability and checkout built in.
Customers book on a website that looks and reads like your brand.
Elsewhere: Hosted store builders limit design to the themes and sections the vendor provides.
