A rental business without a counter.

<50h

from decision to new platform

The problem

"Why should anyone stand in front of a closed shop at 7 on a Saturday morning just to pick up a trailer for a move?" That question started the trailer rental in summer 2025, first on Shopify with plugins. Every small change meant buying yet another plugin.

The decision

In January 2026 I rebuilt the entire platform as custom software, with AI as co-pilot. Effort: under 50 hours.

The result

  • Booking in under two minutes, fully online
  • Pick-up around the clock by PIN code, no key handover
  • No deposit on standard trailers
  • 18 trailers at 14 locations across German-speaking Switzerland
  • 4.9 out of 5 stars from 156 reviews

What the factory built

Booking with live availability, online payment, PIN access, location pages built for search, reviews and a model for investors who finance trailers. All automated, all from one codebase.
