Pre-built AI agents for water sports rental shops, working in the background while you run the shop.

🌊
Weather Reschedule Agent
Watches the forecast for storms, wind warnings or small-craft advisories — and pre-emptively offers paddlers a free reschedule before they even ask, protecting your review score.
Runs on forecast alert
🛶
No-Show Follow-Up Agent
Fires 30 min after a missed pickup slot, sends a warm follow-up with a rebook link, and logs the outcome — turning a missed booking into a recovered one.
Runs on no-show
👥
Peak-Day Staffing Alert Agent
Watches tomorrow's booking volume and weather forecast, predicts staffing needs, and alerts you before the morning rush blows up the counter.
Runs 6pm daily
☀️
Calm-Weekend Pricing Agent
Watches the marine forecast and suggests surge pricing on perfect paddling weekends — without the reputation damage of silently raising prices.
Runs on forecast
📦
Fully Booked Alert Agent
Watches today's bookings against fleet capacity and pings the counter when a board, kayak, SUP or PFD size is fully booked for the day — so staff can offer alternatives before a walk-in customer waits.
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 — so you just review and hit send.
Runs on damage flag
💌
Dormant Paddler Reactivation Agent
Texts paddlers who haven't booked in 90+ days with a personalized offer — and books them straight back into a pickup slot.
Runs weekly
🦺
PFD Sizing Confirm Agent
12 hours before pickup, texts each paddler asking for height + weight so a correctly-sized PFD is waiting at pickup — no scrambling at check-in.
Runs 12h pre-pickup
Late Return Auto-Charger Agent
Applies your late-fee policy automatically after a 30-min grace window. Sends a courteous text first. Skips VIPs and repeat customers.
Runs on overdue
Review Request Agent
Texts paddlers 1 hour after they return — at the perfect moment when the paddle's still fresh — asking for a 5-star review. Skips anyone who had a damage flag.
Runs on return + 1h
✍️
Waiver Compliance Agent
Scans tomorrow's bookings 12 hours out, flags missing or expired waivers — including guardian sign-off for minors — and texts each customer a one-tap signing link.
Runs 12h pre-pickup
💳
Deposit Release Agent
Once a return is inspected and the gear is clean, automatically releases the security deposit on the customer's card and texts confirmation.
Runs on clean return
Features

Workflows built for water sports rental shops, not tourism software.

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

Pickup Flow

Family of six on the water in 5 minutes. Not 20.

Family rolls up at 9:55am for a 10am pickup. Boards, boats, PFDs in the right sizes, paddles, waivers, payment — all on one screen, no tab-switching, no separate till. They're on the water before the next group reaches the counter.

  • One-screen check-in — board, boat or snorkel set, PFD size, paddle or leash, waiver and payment on a single counter view. No app-switching, no second till to reconcile at sundown.
  • Bundle pricing for gear — PFD + paddle + dry bag baked into the slot rate, or priced à la carte. No manual upsell prompts; the cart adds them automatically by craft type.
  • Group + family bookings — 6 paddlers on one transaction, each on their own waiver (guardian-signed for minors) and assigned PFD size. No scrambling at pickup to remember whose vest is whose.
  • Tap-to-pay on iPad or phone — take payment at the counter, on the beach or at the dock via Stripe, no separate card terminal, no end-of-day reconciliation between systems.

Weather + pickup slots

Storm rolls in. 40 paddlers rescheduled, not refunded.

Marine forecast flips to small-craft advisory at 6am. Dash AI texts every booked paddler a one-tap reschedule offer with open slots later that week. The ones who can't make a new slot get a self-serve refund — no inbox chaos, no review-score damage.

  • Time-slot pickups — set 8am, 10am, 12pm slots with capacity limits per location and per gear type — no overbooking the morning rush
  • Weather-trigger reschedules — forecast hits your threshold (wind, lightning, advisory) and the agent fires a one-tap reschedule text to every booked paddler
  • Self-serve refunds inside policy — paddler taps "refund" → Stripe processes inside the rules you set, no staff time, no awkward call
  • Multi-launch capacity — different launches (lake dock, river put-in, bay beach) tracked separately, so a closure at one site doesn't black out the others

Overdue paddlers = recovered revenue.

Saturday 4pm: three paddlers are an hour past their slot. Dash AI texts each one with a one-tap extension offer — two say yes and pay themselves. No staff time, no chasing down a creek.

  • Auto-text on overdue — 1 hour past your slot triggers a friendly extension offer with one-tap pricing
  • Self-serve extension — paddler taps "Yes, extend another hour" → pays via secure Stripe link, no staff time
  • Damage charge defense — return photo + paddler history + scan time stamped → clean record if a Stripe dispute hits over a hull scrape or lost paddle
  • Stripe payment links — overages and damage charges sent as a secure link; paddler taps to pay, you don't chase

A typical Saturday

38 walk-ins. 92 paddlers. 4 pickup slots. Zero burnout.

Here's what a busy weekend looks like running on EquipDash — from the morning brief to the overnight agents finishing up while you sleep.

Dash AI · Morning brief

Good morning. 4 pickup slots booked today, 24 paddlers in the 10am window. Marine forecast: light SE wind 5kt, 78°F — calm-water day, expect strong walk-in flow.

2 overdue from yesterday. I texted them at 5am — both already replied confirming return by 9am.

Staffing. You have 3 at the counter scheduled. I'd recommend 4 between 9–11am based on booking volume. Want me to ping Marcus?

6:00 AM · Pre-shift

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

Dash AI checks last night's returns, the marine forecast, and today's booking load — then writes the brief. No more flipping between five tabs at 5:45am.

Contact Us

What does this actually cost?

Plans start at $29/month. 21-day free trial, no card. There is a 1–2% platform fee you can pass to your customer 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?

How does weather cancellation work?

Does this handle multi-paddler family bookings and minors?

Can I run multiple launch sites from one account?

How long does it take to switch from Booqable / FareHarbor / Peek Pro / Rezdy?

How is support? My current system's support is the worst part.
