All 17 Documented Cases
Poor fleet mix and pricing decisions from lack of rental and damage data
$20,000–$100,000+ per season in missed margin (under‑pricing high‑demand items, over‑stocking low‑usage gear, retiring or replacing assets at the wrong time)Rental inventory guides state that data‑driven decisions on stock levels, pricing, and asset prioritization are key to profitability; without them, businesses over‑invest in low‑use items, under‑invest in high‑demand categories, and mis‑price gear relative to its utilization and wear. Absence of detailed damage and utilization analytics in ski rental workflows leads to repeated bad buying and pricing calls.
Lost rental revenue from missing, double‑booked, or stock‑out equipment
$10,000–$50,000 per season for a mid‑size ski rental shop (lost daily/weekly rental fees on high‑demand gear, estimated from repeated stockout and overbooking scenarios described in industry guidance)Ski rental shops routinely lose revenue when skis/boards that appear available in the system are actually out, missing, or damaged, leading to stock‑outs and turning customers away. Industry rental articles explicitly warn that inaccurate or non‑centralized inventory causes double bookings, stockouts, and missed rental opportunities.
Excess repair, maintenance, and replacement cost from poor condition tracking
$20,000+ per season in avoidable repairs and shortened asset life for a fleet of several hundred skis/boardsWhen skis and snowboards are not inspected and serviced on a set schedule, minor base and edge issues become major repairs or force premature replacement. Rental fleet guides highlight that timely inspections and maintenance extend asset life and that failing to track this history increases costs.
Throughput bottlenecks and idle inventory from poor tracking and layout
$500–$3,000 per peak day in lost rentals because staff throughput is constrained by manual searching rather than true inventory limitsWhen inventory is disorganized and not easily located, staff spend excessive time searching for the right size/length skis or matching boots, limiting how many rentals can be processed per hour. Rental experts document that proper categorization, barcoding, and organization dramatically cut search time and prevent stock from sitting idle unseen.
