What you get in the box

This page is the inventory, not a pitch deck. If something is listed here, it is because NZ operators keep asking for it or tripping over it elsewhere.

Before pickup

Every pickup, ready before they arrive

Licence, agreement and bond sorted in the days before pickup, so the handover is keys and go. Tap the last gate to watch a booking flip to ready.

The rest of the inventory

Demand pricing

Seasons, public holidays, regional events and length-of-stay shaping your daily rate — the demand you can already see on the calendar. Explainable, operator-owned, and safe: off by default, never a broken quote.

Try the live engine →

Dynamic pricing

Adjust each quote on demand, lead time and how fast a date is filling — within limits you set. Starts in shadow mode, logging what it would charge before it ever touches a price.

Explore dynamic pricing →

GST and RUC

Pricing and hire agreements are GST-native. RUC sits in the model where it belongs, so you are not explaining the same exemption twice to your accountant.

CoF and fleet compliance

CoF, service intervals and vehicle status tracked per vehicle, with locations first-class so multi-yard operators are not fighting the software.

Know where every car is → Servicing and compliance →

Xero sync

Xero sync cuts the daily reconciliation drag: fewer manual journals, fewer "where did this payment land?" afternoons, tied to the bookings your front desk already confirmed.

Glovebox Websites and themes

Four live themes — Studio, Coastal, Express and Premium — with booking blocks that pull real availability and rates. Founding members get it included.

Switching from VEVS or spreadsheets

Imports where they make sense and parallel running while you trust the new numbers. You pick the cutover week; we do not pretend a button replaces that judgement call.
