From booking-only tools

Add the operations layer your booking tool skipped

Booking-only platforms make the customer's first click look great. Everything after the booking — the handover, the photos, the signed contract, the tax-correct invoice — is somewhere else, in someone else's hands, in someone else's spreadsheet. Here is what changes when those layers come together.

Where the gap shows

Four gaps a booking tool leaves open

The booking is the easy part. The rest is the business.

No inspection workflow
Booking ends. Then what? Photos in a chat thread, damage in a memo, a customer who insists the dent was there before.
No agreement layer
The contract is a Word file, signed in pen, scanned at best. Disputes turn into hunting through email.
Charges, not invoices
What lands in your accountant's inbox is a list of card charges, not tax-correct invoices. They build the documents you should have shipped.
Operations live elsewhere
Bookings here, fleet maintenance in a Google Sheet, agreements in DocuSign, dispatch on WhatsApp. Four logins to ship one rental.

Questions

Switching FAQ

Can we keep our existing booking page?

Yes. Customers can keep using your existing booking page on day one — Renviq runs the operations layer for staff (bookings, inspections, agreements, payments). Many teams stay on this hybrid model for a quarter before switching the customer-facing flow.

Will customers see anything different on day one?

No. The customer experience is the customer experience. Internal staff see new tools (inspections, agreements, invoices) — customers see the same booking confirmation.

How do we accept payments?

Payments are recorded manually in the first iteration of Renviq (per ADR-013). You connect your existing PSP for the booking-side capture and record receipts here. Real integrations are on the roadmap.

Can we keep using our domain for booking?

Yes. The customer-facing booking flow stays where it lives. Renviq is the operations workspace — staff-facing, not customer-facing.

Is the e-signature legally binding in our jurisdiction?

Renviq supports dual-signer agreements with a captured signature image and timestamp. Legal binding depends on your local law — most EU jurisdictions accept this as a valid simple electronic signature (SES) under eIDAS.

What happens to old booking records?

Imported into Renviq's booking history. Revenue, dates, customer link — all preserved for reports and audit.
