When Loris started Outsid’Air, he wanted to bring people together through fun and memorable moments. He noticed a gap in the market for affordable, high-quality inflatable rentals and decided to fill it. What began as a simple Instagram-based rental service has grown into a successful business offering everything from bounce houses to funfair machines.
Creating memorable events
Loris and his small team of three operate Outsid’Air from a warehouse, providing a wide range of equipment for events and celebrations. Their inventory includes inflatable structures, funfair machines like cotton candy makers, popcorn machines, slush machines, hot dog makers, and waffle makers, along with essential event equipment. They serve diverse clients, from families hosting birthday parties to event planners looking for unique entertainment options.
Schools and community organizations often use their services for fairs and fundraisers, while businesses book them for team-building activities and promotional events. They’ve also become popular with wedding and event venues seeking additional entertainment for their guests. Their customer-first approach ensures events run smoothly, whether it’s a backyard celebration or a large-scale corporate gathering.
Their commitment to delivering experiences, not just equipment, makes Outsid’Air stand out. They adapt to specific needs, offering both standard inflatables and custom-made designs. By keeping their prices reasonable, they ensure everyone has access to high-quality, safe equipment for their events. They genuinely love being part of their clients’ special moments, and this passion shows in everything they do.
From Instagram to professional rental management
Initially, Loris managed Outsid’Air entirely through Instagram. This basic setup led to several challenges, particularly with inventory management and booking coordination. Without a proper system, they struggled to prevent double bookings and track equipment availability. The manual process of managing orders and handling customer communications consumed valuable time that could have been spent growing the business.
Looking to solve these issues, Loris chose Booqable as their rental management platform. With Booqable, they created a streamlined booking process and gained real-time inventory tracking. The system automatically updates stock levels and prevents double bookings, while the online booking integration makes it easy for customers to check availability and make reservations.
Since implementing Booqable, Outsid’Air has seen significant improvements in their business operations. The automated system has reduced the time spent on administrative tasks, allowing the team to focus on growth and customer service. Customers appreciate the user-friendly booking process and automated communications, leading to increased bookings and satisfaction.
Growing across France
Looking ahead, Loris plans to expand Outsid’Air across France with multiple locations. Their goal is to become a trusted name in inflatable rentals nationwide while maintaining their commitment to quality and customer service. They see Booqable as a crucial partner in this expansion, particularly for managing inventory across multiple locations and providing insights through advanced reporting. For now, they continue to focus on creating memorable experiences for their clients, which are made easier by the streamlined operations that Booqable provides.
