Frequently Asked Questions
Real-time availability tracking shows exactly how many units of each item are available for a specific date range, accounting for all existing reservations and active jobs — not just total stock count. For event rental companies, this means sales can commit gear confidently without calling the warehouse, and the system automatically prevents the same item from being promised to two jobs at the same time.
When gear is reserved for a job, the system removes it from the available pool for that date range. Any subsequent quote or reservation for the same gear during the same period automatically flags the conflict before it becomes a commitment. Flex updates availability in real time as quotes and jobs change, so the data sales teams see always reflects actual on-hand availability.
Yes. Availability and conflict checks update automatically as quotes and jobs change. Sales can see live inventory while building quotes, preventing them from promising equipment that’s already committed to another job.
Yes. Flex shows availability status by location and supports transfers between warehouses. You can see the full picture — what’s available at each location and what’s already committed across all active jobs — from a single view.
Yes. Live inventory availability feeds directly into the quoting workflow, so sales can build accurate quotes without calling the warehouse. The system shows available quantities for the specific job dates in real time.
Real-time visibility across all jobs lets you identify shortages before they become problems. When you can see that a specific item is committed across all your inventory for a date, you can plan sub-rentals from suppliers in advance — rather than discovering the shortage the day of the show.
