In BookingCentral, your rental equipment and inventory are called resources. This article will give an overview of Resources and how they are used in the system.
What is a Resource
A resource is the physical rental. Also considered your inventory, items or fleet. Example would be a single Pontoon Boat, Kayak, Jet Ski, Golf Cart, UTV, or Camper.
Resources in BookingCentral determine your availability and keep track of bookings that are using each resource. A Rental can have one or multiples of the same resource assigned to it.
Example: You offer jet ski rentals and have 4 jet skis in inventory. The Jet Ski Rental would have 4 resources (the jet skis) assigned to it.
Resources assigned to a Rental
Important! All Rentals must have one or more Resource assigned to it in order for the system to track availability. This means even if you only have one Pontoon Boat or RV, you must still create a Resource for the equipment and assign it to the Rental settings.
