Jessica Clays is the founder of Lendz Club, a Liverpool-based camera rental business built around a simple observation. Whenever Jessica and her friends used a Canon G7X Mark III in public, people would stop and ask about it. Many said the same thing. The camera was hard to find or too expensive to justify buying.
That repeated reaction sparked the idea for Lendz Club. Instead of purchasing costly equipment for occasional use, customers could rent the exact camera they wanted. Today, Lendz Club rents out the Canon G7X Mark III along with accessories and easy-to-follow guides. The business mainly serves content creators, small business owners, influencers, and people documenting events, trips, and social moments.
Many customers are women aged 18–35 who want high-quality photos and videos without investing in expensive gear. In the early days, Jessica managed bookings through social media messages, emails, spreadsheets, and a calendar. As interest grew, keeping track of availability and avoiding booking conflicts became difficult. She wanted a proper camera rental website where customers could check availability and book instantly.
That’s when she chose Booqable as both her camera rental software and the system powering her camera rental website. With the mobile app, custom website integration, and optional delivery add-ons, the platform gave her a way to run the business professionally while still managing everything herself.
Managing bookings from anywhere with the mobile app
As a founder-led business, Jessica handles bookings, logistics, order preparation, and customer communication herself. Before Booqable, this meant constantly checking different messages, calendars, and spreadsheets to make sure nothing overlapped. When rentals involve specific dates and delivery schedules, being tied to a desktop computer made the process harder to manage.
The Booqable mobile app quickly became one of the tools she relies on most. It allows her to check bookings, review upcoming rentals, and manage schedules while on the move. Here’s how it works in practice.
Jessica can open the app to see orders for the day, check inventory availability, update bookings, and track upcoming deliveries or returns. If a customer request comes in while she is out preparing a delivery, she can check availability and add a booking immediately.
Jessica says the mobile app helps her stay organised throughout the day, especially when dealing with time-sensitive rentals and logistics.
What the mobile app helps Lendz Club achieve:
-
Check bookings and availability while handling deliveries or returns
-
Manage orders and rental schedules without needing a desktop
-
Stay organised when coordinating multiple time-sensitive rentals
Because everything is accessible from one place, Jessica no longer needs to cross-check multiple systems to confirm bookings. It solves the original problem of constantly monitoring spreadsheets and messages while keeping the business manageable for a single founder.
Offering delivery options directly from the booking page
Another early challenge was coordinating deliveries and returns. Customers needed flexible options, especially since many rentals were for weekends, events, or trips. Managing those requests manually through messages made it difficult to keep pricing and scheduling consistent.
Booqable’s delivery add-on helped solve that. On the Lendz Club camera rental website, customers select their rental dates using the rental date picker. During this process, they can choose delivery as an optional extra. The delivery cost is calculated automatically at the online checkout once the customer enters their address, based on the rules Jessica set up inside her Booqable account.
This setup works for both Liverpool drop-offs and nationwide UK courier deliveries. Customers see the option while booking, select what they need, and the delivery fee is added to the order automatically. Because it is built directly into the camera rental software, every delivery request is recorded within the booking.
What the delivery feature helps Lendz Club achieve:
-
Allow customers to add delivery directly during online booking
-
Automatically calculate delivery charges from the camera rental website
-
Keep delivery logistics organised inside the rental system
Instead of discussing delivery arrangements through messages, the booking flow now handles it. That removes confusion and ensures each order includes the correct delivery option from the start.
Renting for influencer marketing
For Jessica, the biggest change since switching to Booqable has been how organised the business feels. Customers can now check availability in real time, select their rental dates, agree to booking policies, and complete payment in one place. That has reduced the back-and-forth communication that once came with manual bookings.
But the impact goes beyond convenience. With the camera rental software managing availability, bookings, and delivery options, Jessica can focus on growing the brand and improving the customer experience. As she puts it, Booqable has helped bring the entire rental process into one centralised system while saving time on manual admin.
With plans to expand inventory and reach more customers across the UK, Lendz Club is continuing to grow. And with a reliable camera rental website and the tools to manage bookings on the go, Jessica has built a strong foundation for scaling her creator-focused rental business.
