Problem
Traditional equipment checkout processes require staffed desks with limited operating hours, creating barriers to access for residents and members who need gear outside of business hours. Manual tracking of borrowed items often leads to lost or unreturned equipment, increasing replacement costs and reducing the availability of shared resources.
Solution
RecRe provides an all-in-one self-service rental solution that combines automated lending lockers with inventory management software. The platform allows users to browse available inventory and borrow items independently at any time, eliminating the need for staffed checkout desks. RecRe's lockers are designed to be durable and weather-resistant, enabling placement at outdoor courts and intramural fields where equipment is actually used, whether for basketballs, spikeball sets, VR headsets, or vacuum cleaners. The system integrates with university SSO and custom membership access options to ensure only authorized students or members can unlock the lockers, while real-time item tracking provides full accountability for every piece of equipment. Flexible rental logic lets operators offer items for free, at hourly rates, or with a free-then-fee model to drive turnover during peak hours.
Target Audience
Primary customers are residential life departments, student unions, community centers, and recreation centers at universities and property management organizations that need to offer self-service equipment access to students and members. The platform is also used for eSports programs and libraries seeking to lend high-priced gear like VR headsets and gaming systems.
