    • Drop a themeable AI text agent on your site that answers questions and books rentals around the clock, then hands off to SMS when a human is needed.

    • Put schedulable AI task agents to work with ready-made templates (daily briefing, balance chaser, returns sweeper) or build your own in plain English, then publish and install agents from the marketplace. Combined, AI agents already save RentalTide merchants 2,700+ hours every month.

    • A live board for in-store rentals with a per-asset stopwatch, waiver-first intake, split payments, and one-tap membership pricing. Drag a rental from intake to on-water to returned.

    • Every booking carries an append-only price history. Each change is a permanent, versioned record reconciled with the ledger in the same transaction, so a total can never silently drift again.

    • A full accounting suite built straight from your ledger: profit and loss, sales summary, trial balance, deferred revenue, sales tax liability, and A/R aging, all with CSV export.

    • Draw a launch area on the map and boats are marked on the water when they leave and returned when they come back, no manual tapping required.

    • Manage slip inventory, reservations, waitlists, guest access, haul services, contracts, and meter readings, with marina maps and proper A/R at check-in.
