Challenge

One of the primary challenges for Leonarden was the manual handling of rental bookings and activity planning. Managing the bookings for guided tours and rental services proved to be difficult, particularly due to having to track the number of available seats on each tour and concurrently renting out the snowmobiles. The method they used for this was time-consuming, but it also increased the likelihood of miscommunication and double bookings. Leonarden realized that there was a need for a more efficient method.

Inventory management was another major challenge for Leonarden. Keeping track of the various items available for rent, their availability, and maintenance schedules was a labor-intensive task. The risk of double booking or not having the required equipment ready for customers was a constant concern. 

Leonarden dealt with the challenges by implementing Sharefox Sports Equipment Rental Software. The software includes an inventory management system and an online booking system.
