A partnership that has grown stronger
Rentalbuddy’s collaboration with Jon and Linda started in 2021: they were the first customers to use our booking system. With Jon and Linda’s deep experience in the rental industry and our deep knowledge of software development, we have created a great booking system for the outdoor rental industry.
Canoe rental with a focus on sustainability
One of the great things we have developed with Immeln is the possibility to have a “Forcing Fee”. Immeln Canoe Center use this feature for their ‘Nature preservation fee’ - which is a mandatory fee for every booking. The fee goes to the municipality of Östra Göinge, to make sure that Immeln will be a pleasant and attractive visitor destination over time with preserved natural values. The ambition is to build a greener, more sustainable, and more coherent canoe trail.
That summer they also started using the booking system for their camping, Camp Immeln, and have also started a self-service canoe and kayak station. With the Rentalbuddy self-service solution, Immeln uses the possibility to expand their business without the need for more staff which brings down the risk when evaluating new rental locations.
“Both the team behind Rentalbuddy and the platform itself have proven to be excellent. The booking system works smoothly and is continuously developed with new features that make life easier for us as renters, but also for our customers to book. Rentalbuddy’s self-service solution has also allowed us to grow our business to several locations.” – Jon Marin, co-owner of Immeln Canoe Center
We are super happy about the fantastic collaboration that we have. All the feedback we have received has improved our booking system and the booking experience for the paddler. We are very excited about what the future has to bring!
