vs. FareHarbor
Rental Software is not a tour plugin.
FareHarbor is a tour-booking platform retrofitted for rentals. RecSystems is rental-native: hold timer, dock check-ins, damage protection in the core.
Rental Software has to return the asset
A tour ticket is a seat. A pontoon is a unit that comes back dirty. RecSystems models the second job.
Retrofit shows up on Saturday
If check-in, photos, and weather feel like extras, the dock will invent a side process. We refused that split.
