Sharefox is a leading rental management platform designed for equipment rental businesses and self-service rental stations, specialized in sports, automotive, tools and machinery, and self-storage rentals. It provides everything needed to run a rental business—from booking and inventory tracking to customer management and payments—all in one place.
For businesses operating unattended rental sites or self-service lockers, access automation is key. Sharefox supports digital workflows that eliminate the need for manual handovers, enabling customers to reserve, pay, and pick up equipment on their own—24/7.
To unlock these capabilities, integrating Sharefox with digital locking systems allows rental businesses to automate access based on bookings—giving customers the freedom to collect and return items with no staff required.
