Enquiry Forms Are Where Revenue Goes to Die
Most hire company websites can describe equipment but cannot book it. The 'contact us' form fires an email into an inbox, the customer waits, and the weekend enquiry is stone cold by Monday.
Meanwhile the customer's expectations are set by everything else they buy online. If booking a digger feels harder than booking a holiday, some of them simply will not bother.
A Widget That Lives on Your Site
The Renttix reservation widget embeds in the website you already have. Customers browse your real catalogue, choose dates, and submit a reservation request — no rebuild, no separate product list to maintain.
The widget ships with its own keys, rotatable at any time, and is styled to belong to your site rather than advertising someone else's software.
Approval Queues Keep Humans in Charge
Instant confirmation sounds attractive until the wrong machine is promised to the wrong site on a bank holiday. Renttix routes widget reservations into an approval queue instead.
Your team confirms availability and pricing, then approves — and the request becomes an order without retyping. Customers get online convenience; you keep operational judgement exactly where it belongs.
A Hosted Storefront When Your Site Cannot Carry One
No website capable of hosting a store? Renttix hosts one for you, running directly from your live catalogue — products, images, and categories with nothing duplicated.
Customers register their own accounts, coupons give you a promotional lever, and online deposits mean a booking arrives funded. Because it is the same platform as your back office, every online booking obeys the same availability and pricing rules as the counter.
Shopify and WooCommerce, Embedded Properly
For businesses whose commerce already lives in Shopify, Renttix runs as an embedded app inside the Shopify admin — orders, dispatch, and billing visible where the store team already works, with refunds and customer credits flowing between the systems.
WooCommerce connects WordPress shops to the same engine. In both cases the rental brain — availability, conflicts, invoicing — stays in Renttix.
One Calendar to Rule Every Channel
The point of all three routes is the same: whatever door a booking walks through — widget, storefront, webshop, phone, or counter — it lands on one calendar, one availability engine, and one set of customer records.
Online booking without that unification just creates a second business to reconcile. With it, the website finally pulls its weight.
