- Sharefox is a cloud-based rental platform for returnable goods, ranging from skis, bicycles and clothing to tools, forklifts and scaffolding. It supports both new rental businesses and companies adding rentals to an existing buy-and-sell model. Features include online booking and payment, digital receipts and contracts, inventory management, accounting-system integrations and self-service options. Customers can choose delivery or collect items from unmanned locations; the platform can power a dedicated rental website or integrate into an existing one.
- The article says the system automates rental administration to reduce manual work, save time and support additional revenue. It also includes website marketing tools such as a blog and social-media integration. Sharefox describes the system as scalable for multiple locations and countries.
