Rental Without Staff – Fully Automated with TIKI SHARE

    SUP, kayak, bicycle, or outdoor equipment – your customers book, open, and return without you needing to be there. Around the clock.

    Opening hours limit your business, staff costs money, key handovers need coordination – traditional rental quickly hits its limits. TIKI SHARE automates the entire rental process: from booking through check-out to return. The solution is already proven in SUP and kayak rental operations and tested for outdoor use.

    1. The Problem with Traditional Rental

    Your customers want to get on the water early in the morning or start a bike tour after work – but the rental is only open at fixed hours. Every check-out requires staff: hand over keys, collect deposits, check returns. A bike rental without staff? Barely feasible until now.

    With multiple rental stations, the effort multiplies. Coordination, inventory management, staff planning – all manual. Self-rental fails due to missing infrastructure, not missing customer demand.

    2. How Automated Rental Works with TIKI SHARE

    Step 1: Book Online

    The customer selects rental equipment and time slot via app or website. Payment is made directly online – no cash, no deposit on-site.

    Step 2: Receive Access

    The customer automatically receives a digital access code via app or QR code. No calls, no waiting – the automatic rental station is immediately ready.

    Step 3: Self Pick-up

    The customer opens the locker or vending machine independently – no staff needed. The outdoor rental system automatically logs the pick-up.

    Step 4: Return

    The customer returns the equipment, the compartment closes. The system automatically logs the return and frees the slot for the next customer.

    3. What Can Be Rented with TIKI SHARE

    The system is not limited to one rental type. Whether a SUP rental machine at the lake promenade or automated kayak rental at the riverbank – the platform adapts to your equipment.

    4. The Process for Your Customers – Simple and Intuitive

    For occasional customers, a QR code is enough – no app installation, no account. The customer scans the code, the compartment opens, done. For regular customers, the app offers additional convenience: booking history, favorite locations, and digital receipts.

    The entire process takes just a few minutes – from booking to pick-up. And thanks to the integrated online booking system, double bookings are impossible and availability is displayed in real time.
