Industrial equipment rental & resale marketplace

🛑 The Business Challenge

Renting industrial equipment isn't like renting a car. The platform needed a structured catalog of highly technical equipment that non-technical users could still browse easily, flexible date-based rental logic, transparent pricing that updates as dates are chosen, a secure end-to-end booking flow, and an account system for renters to track active rentals and payment history.

  • Technical catalog: highly technical equipment (specs, capacity, industry use case) needed to stay easy to browse for non-technical users
  • Flexible rental logic: hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rental windows all needed to be supported
  • Transparent pricing: rates and security deposits needed to update automatically as users selected dates
  • Secure booking flow: date selection, payment, and delivery scheduling needed to work as a single in-app flow
  • Account tracking: renters needed to track active rentals, request extensions, and review payment history

Solution: A Two-Sided Marketplace Built Solo, End to End

Built the app end-to-end in Flutter for a single codebase across iOS and Android, from the front end through the backend and booking logic, serving logistics, manufacturing, hospitality, security, and retail businesses.

  • Robot Catalog: Browsable equipment library organized by industry, with technical specs and capacity details
  • Flexible Rental Windows: Hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rental options with real-time price calculation as dates are selected
  • Transparent Pricing: Standard rates, deposit requirements, and terms shown directly on each listing
  • Streamlined Booking Flow: Date selection → terms review → secure payment → delivery scheduling, all in-app
  • Account Dashboard: Active rental tracking, extension requests, and transaction history
  • Marketplace Layer: Buy/sell listings for robots and parts, plus a channel for robot modification services
