When Chimdi Azuike, from Alberta, Canada, saw the stress that hourly bounce house rentals caused parents at children’s parties, he saw an opportunity to create a better solution. Most rental businesses charged by the hour, which forced parents to constantly monitor the time during the event. This frustration inspired Chimdi to start a daily party rental business with a more customer-friendly approach to bounce house rentals.
Chimdi started small, buying a single bounce house from Facebook Marketplace. Instead of hourly rentals, he offered full-day rates that gave families more flexibility. Word spread quickly, and soon his phone was ringing non-stop with rental requests.
Scaling Up with Booqable
As traditional spreadsheets couldn’t keep up with increasing bookings, Chimdi needed an equipment rental software that could manage inventory, prevent double bookings, and create a professional website affordably.
Booqable became the perfect solution, with the inventory management features being a game-changer for his new party rental business. With real-time tracking, Chimdi could monitor his entire inflatable rental inventory easily. The smart scheduling prevented double bookings, ensuring each bounce house was available exactly when promised.
The live availability management was a standout feature. When customers book online, items are instantly reserved in Chimdi’s account, stopping scheduling conflicts. Customers could see availability and book without calling, making the entire process smoother.
Today, Humdiger Rentals offers eight main categories: tents, tables, chairs, linen, inflatables, games, audio-visual equipment, and decor, with delivery and setup services.
Launching the Perfect Inflatable Rental Website
Chimdi needed a streamlined way to manage online bookings. Booqable’s website builder offered a practical solution, allowing him to create a professional website using templates and drag-and-drop tools without any web design experience.
He customized a template with his company’s branding and connected a custom domain, making the website look professional and official. The process was quick and cost-effective compared to hiring a web designer.
“The ability for customers to place orders without contacting me first has been game-changing,” Chimdi notes. The integrated booking system let customers browse Humdiger Rentals’ bounce houses and other items, check availability, and complete online reservations. This automated system dramatically reduced manual booking management.
The website improved Humdiger Rentals’ online presence, enabling customers to see rental items, check availability, and book instantly. The Booqable website builder helped Chimdi transform his bounce house rental operation into a more professional equipment rental business.
The Mobile App: Managing Your Store On The Go
Running a rental business means being on the move constantly. Chimdi uses Booqable’s mobile app to keep tabs on his business from pretty much anywhere.
“The mobile app really helps me manage my business, especially through the dashboard,” Chimdi explains. He can check upcoming bookings, see what equipment is available, and handle customer requests while making deliveries or setting up bounce houses.
When things get busy, the app keeps everything running smoothly. Chimdi can quickly check if a bounce house is free, handle last-minute booking changes, and keep an eye on his business - all from his smartphone.
