Booking for Shared Tools & Equipment
Let members borrow shared tools and equipment with a clear calendar — see what's available, book it, and know when it's due back.
The problem with shared equipment
Shared tools save money — but only if people can find them, book them, and return them.
- ✗No one knows what's available or already lent out
