Platform — Gear & Fleet Management

Know what you can actually hand out — and what's due back.

Rental gear down to unit and size, boats and vehicles with their inspections and paperwork, and rooms with their bookings: one view of the physical side of the operation, so nothing is promised that isn't available.

  • Availability tracked by unit and by size
  • Maintenance records that take gear out of service automatically
  • Licence, insurance, and inspection alerts for boats and vehicles

Gear & Fleet Management: Rental gear by unit, size, and week

Rental gear by unit, size, and week

"We have twelve wetsuits" is not the same as "we have a medium free on Saturday". RidgeHQ tracks each gear type as individual units with an optional size, so availability is checked against the size a customer actually needs, and a weekly rental planner shows what is out, booked, or blocked.

  • Gear types and individual units, each with an optional size (S, M, L, 10.5 …)
  • Size-matched availability instead of a single headcount per type
  • Rental, maintenance, and unavailable windows on a weekly planner by unit
  • Per-customer gear needs — renting, bringing their own, or stored with you — recorded on the profile
Gear & Fleet Management: Maintenance that changes availability, not just a spreadsheet

Maintenance that changes availability, not just a spreadsheet

Gear that is out for service is the most common cause of a morning scramble. Taking a unit out of service creates a maintenance record and removes it from availability immediately; returning it restores availability without anyone remembering to flip a switch.

  • Maintenance records with type, vendor, location, out-since, and expected return
  • Overdue returns flagged by one consistent rule
  • Active and history views, filterable by gear type
  • CSV export of the maintenance register for your records or your insurer
Gear & Fleet Management: Boats, vehicles, and rooms with their obligations

Boats, vehicles, and rooms with their obligations

Larger assets come with paperwork. Boats, vehicles, boards, and bikes are tracked as fleet assets with passenger capacity, registration, crew, and inspection history, and RidgeHQ surfaces what is about to lapse. Accommodation is handled the same way for operators who also sell beds.

  • Fleet assets with passenger capacity, registration, and assigned crew
  • Inspection log with next-due date; overdue inspections flagged
  • Alerts when a licence or insurance expires within 30 days
  • Room types and units with booking, maintenance, and unavailable blocks on a weekly calendar

How it connects to the rest of the system

Nothing in RidgeHQ works in isolation. Gear & Fleet Management feeds — and is fed by — every other part of the operational day.

Scheduling & Dispatch

Rental and accommodation calendars are linked from the planner, and a trip's gear prep list is built from the participants travelling on it.

Customer & Participant Profiles

Each customer's sizes and gear needs are stored once and reused for every trip they book.

Staff Coordination

Fleet crew are your staff members, and maintenance actions record which person (or the AI Copilot) made them.

Online Bookings & POS

Rentals sold online or at the counter draw from the same availability your team sees in the gear planner.

What it changes day to day

No promises you can't keep

Availability is checked by unit and size, so a booking never assumes gear that isn't there.

Service status is always current

Out-for-service gear leaves availability the moment it is logged and returns when it comes back.

Paperwork doesn't lapse quietly

Inspections, licences, and insurance are flagged before they become a problem on the water or the road.

Faster trip prep

Gear needs come from customer profiles instead of a last-minute round of messages.

Common Questions

Yes. Each gear unit can carry a size, and availability is compared size-for-size, so you can see whether a medium wetsuit — not just any wetsuit — is free for a booking.

You open a maintenance record for the unit (type, vendor, location, expected return). The unit is removed from availability straight away, flagged if it is overdue, and put back into availability when you mark it returned.

Yes, as fleet assets: vessels, vehicles, boards, bikes, and others, with passenger capacity, registration, crew assignment, an inspection log, and alerts for overdue inspections and for licences or insurance expiring within 30 days.

Yes. Room types and units have their own weekly calendar with booking, maintenance, and unavailable blocks, kept separate from the activity planner but linked from it.

Yes. The maintenance register exports to CSV with the same filters you use on screen (status, gear type, overdue).
