Dash AI Agents · Active 24/7

The work that used to wait until Monday.

Pre-built AI agents for outdoor gear shops, working in the background while you pack kits and answer trip questions.

Kit Completeness Agent
Pulls every line item the night before pickup — tent + poles + stakes + footprint + rainfly — and flags any kit that's incomplete on the rack. So no camper drives 2 hours to a trailhead missing a tent pole.
Runs 6pm daily
🧼
Sanitization Queue Agent
Watches returned sleeping bags, cookware and water filters — and queues them for cleaning the moment they hit the rack. Keeps items out of the bookable pool until sanitized.
Runs on return
⛈️
Weather Reschedule Agent
Watches the forecast for storms or trail closures and pre-emptively offers campers a free reschedule before they even ask — protecting your review score and saving the trip.
Runs on forecast
📦
Fully Booked Alert Agent
Watches trip-date bookings against kit availability and pings the counter when a kit size or specialty item (bear canisters, 0°F bags) is fully booked for the dates — so staff can offer alternatives.
Runs 24/7
📋
Damage Report Drafter Agent
Drafts a ready-to-send damage report the moment a return is flagged — photo, customer history, replacement cost from your gear catalog — so you just review and hit send.
Runs on damage flag
💌
Dormant Camper Reactivation Agent
Texts campers who haven't booked in 90+ days with a personalized offer — pre-season trip planning, summer kits, fall foliage trips — and books them straight back into a pickup slot.
Runs weekly
🔧
Gear Inspection Agent
Tracks rental cycles per item and auto-creates repair tickets when a tent's been deployed 30 times, a stove's been used 50 times, or a backpack's straps need a check — so wear is caught before a camper notices.
Runs 9pm daily
Late Return Auto-Charger Agent
Applies your late-fee policy automatically after a 24-hour grace window. Sends a courteous text first with an extension offer. Skips VIPs and repeat customers.
Runs on overdue
Post-Trip Review Agent
Texts campers 24 hours after return — at the perfect moment when their trip's still fresh — asking for a 5-star review. Skips anyone who had a damage flag or refund.
Runs on return + 24h
✍️
Waiver Compliance Agent
Scans the next 48 hours of pickups, flags missing or expired waivers, and texts each camper a one-tap signing link until they sign.
Runs 48h pre-pickup
💳
Deposit Release Agent
Once a kit is returned complete and sanitized, automatically generates a Stripe refund link for the security deposit and texts confirmation to the camper.
Runs on clean return
🎒
Trip-Day Pack-List Agent
Builds the day's pack list at 6am — every kit grouped by pickup time, with cleaned/repaired status, add-ons, and the camper's trip notes — so your staff knows exactly what to stage.
Runs 6am daily
Features

Workflows built for outdoor gear shops, not tourism software.

Three workflows other rental software doesn't have. Plus all the standard tools you'd expect — done well.

Kit Builder

Every kit packed complete. Every tent pole accounted for.

Bundle a tent, sleeping bag, pad, stove and lantern into a "2-Person Backpacking Kit" — and have the system check every single part at pickup and return. So no camper drives 2 hours to a trailhead missing a tent pole.

  • Bundle kits, price as one item — combine tent, bag, pad, stove, lantern, headlamp into named kits like "Solo Backpacking" or "Family Car Camping". Customers book the trip, not the parts list.
  • Completeness checklist at pickup & return — every part of every kit ticked off on a tablet. Tent body, poles, stakes, footprint, rainfly. No more "I thought it was in the bag" texts at 8pm.
  • Trip-context add-ons — booking a backpacking kit? The cart suggests bear canister, water filter, dry bag. Booking a 0°F bag? It suggests a sleeping pad with the right R-value. Higher attach rate, fewer trip-killer omissions.

Sanitization

"Crazy clean" gear, logged and provable.

Sleeping bags, cookware, water filters — everything that touches a customer's mouth or skin gets a sanitization log between rentals. Item drops out of bookable inventory until cleaned and signed off. So your next camper unzips a bag that smells like detergent, not the last person.

  • Auto-queue on return — items flagged for cleaning the moment they're scanned back. Sleeping bags, cookware, water filters, hydration bladders — all routed to the sanitization rack, not the bookable shelf.
  • Sanitization templates per item type — bags get a wash cycle, filters get backflushed, cookware gets sanitized at high heat. Each step logged with staff initials and timestamp.
  • Inventory auto-sync — items marked "to sanitize" drop out of bookable rotation. The moment a staff member ticks the cleaning checklist complete, the item lands back in the pool — no double-handling.
  • Cleanliness audit trail — every rental shows "last sanitized" date + staff name. If a customer ever raises a hygiene concern, the proof is one click away.

Trip-date pricing

Multi-day pricing tiers. Overdue trips, recovered.

Campers book trip dates, not "X days starting today". Price drops for week-long rentals, climbs for high-demand fall weekends, and any 24-hour overdue gets a one-tap extension offer auto-texted before a late fee even applies.

  • Tiered multi-day pricing — 3-day, 5-day, 7-day, week-plus rates that aren't just per-day math. Campers see "$148 for 5 days" not "$30/day × 5".
  • Trip-date booking — "Sept 12 → Sept 16 Yosemite trip" with multi-day discount baked in, not "rent for 4 days starting today". Matches how campers actually plan.
  • Self-serve extension — overdue camper taps "Yes, extend to Sept 18 for $42" → pays via secure Stripe link. Their trip got extended, your gear comes back, no staff time.
  • Damage-charge defense — return photo + camper history + kit completeness scan time-stamped → clean record if a Stripe dispute hits.

A typical Saturday

30 pickups. 60 campers. 8 returns. Zero burnout.

Here's what a pre-Labor-Day Saturday looks like running on EquipDash — from the morning brief to the overnight agents finishing up while you sleep.

Dash AI · Morning brief

Good morning. 30 trip-pickups booked today, 14 in the 8–10am window. Forecast for Moab: clear and 78°F — peak weekend demand.

3 overdue from earlier this week. I texted them yesterday — 2 already extended through Monday, 1 returning by noon.

Sanitization. 8 sleeping bags + 4 water filters are still on the cleaning rack from Thursday's returns — flagging the 2 you need cleaned by 8am pickups.

6:00 AM · Pre-shift

Know what's about to break before you unlock the door.

Dash AI checks last night's returns, the day's weather, the sanitization queue, and today's pickup load — then writes the brief. No more flipping between five tabs at 5:45am.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Everything you need to know.

The questions outdoor gear rental shops actually ask before they switch.

Contact Us

What does this actually cost?

Plans start at $29/month, or $23/month if billed annually. 21-day free trial, no card. There is a 1–2% platform fee you can pass to your camper at checkout — so unlike FareHarbor or Peek Pro pulling 1–6% off your top line, your margin stays yours.

Do I need a credit card to start?

Can I bundle gear into kits and check every part is returned?

How do you handle sanitization tracking?

Does this support ship-to-customer fulfillment, not just in-person pickup?

Can I price differently for 3-day vs 5-day vs week-long rentals?

How long does it take to switch from Booqable / Rentle / FareHarbor / spreadsheets?

What integrations come standard?
