From athletic gear to event supplies, equipment rentals play a vital role in supporting programs and community use—but managing them manually can lead to missed reservations, lost inventory, or time-consuming tracking processes. This webinar is designed to help parks and recreation teams streamline their equipment rental workflows using tools available within their Recreation Management solution.
Whether you’re just starting to offer rentals or looking to refine your current set up, you’ll learn how to simplify inventory management, improve scheduling accuracy, and reduce administrative effort. We’ll walk through practical tips, best practices, and a product demo to help your team deliver a more organized, transparent, and reliable rental experience.
