Kit hire and rental
I run a studio and hire out lighting from it, so BidWrap tracks kit the way a rental shelf works: each piece labelled, scanned out with the job, scanned back in, and paying for itself in front of you.
Every piece gets its own code and a QR label, printed on standard Avery sheets. Kits made of several pieces keep their parts together.
Add kit from your own catalogue at your day rates. If a piece is already out on another job that week, you are warned before it is booked twice.
Pick lists come out in the same order as the estimate. Scan each label with your phone as it leaves and when it returns, and see what is still out.
BidWrap checks the dates of every job, so the same light is never promised to two clients on the same day.
See what each light, stand and camera has earned on invoices against what you paid for it, and when it paid for itself.
Kit you hire in from another supplier goes on the estimate as cross hire, with its cost, so your margin on it is clear.
Studio hire, kit hire and crew go on the same estimate, under their own headings, for a client who wants all three.
Type "pick up 27 Oct, return 2 Nov" and the hire days are worked out for you, ready to price.
Every piece is on your kit register, with serial numbers and values, ready to print for your insurer.
Pro. It includes QR labels, scanning kit in and out, the warning before kit is booked twice, pick lists, and what every piece has earned.
No. The labels are scanned with the camera on your phone, in your web browser. There is nothing to install.
Avery L4773 and Avery L7651, standard A4 sheets. You can start part way down a sheet you have already used.
Yes. Each job can go out under the business name that suits it, under one login, with a clear sign of which one you are working in.
BidWrap is free while it is being tested by a small group of studios, photographers and videographers. Ask for an invite and label your shelf.
