TL;DR
Kit composition is renting a bundle of components as a single unit: a ski set = skis + boots + poles + helmet. The system tracks availability of every component together.
Kit composition is a rental model where several inventory items are sold as one booking 'unit'. Typical examples: ski set (skis + boots + poles + helmet), dive set (wetsuit + tank + BCD + computer + light), event package (tent + chairs + tables + PA). Each component has its own inventory and availability; the customer rents the kit as a whole.
Setup: define a kit as a template – 'Mid ski set' = 1 pair of skis (from 'mid-length' group), 1 pair of boots (from 'size-matched' group), 1 pair of poles, 1 helmet. Booking: customer picks kit + sizes + dates. The system reserves specific instances of every component (e.g. Atomic 170 cm #45, Salomon 42 #12). On return each component returns to availability independently. Kit availability = min(component availabilities) – if no size-42 boots, the kit is unavailable regardless of ski stock.
Without kit composition: either run a separate reservation per component (chaos at return) or pretend the kit is 'one vehicle' and manually track component availability (errors, overbooking). With kit composition: one click = full reservation, auto-calculated availability, single billing.
In OneRental you build kits as packages that bundle several items into one contract line and one price. You record sizes per participant (height, weight, boot size) on the reservation, so staff prep the set ahead of time. Templates per niche: ski set, dive set, event package, kayak combo. Automatic size-matching (the system suggesting skis + boots itself) is on the roadmap.
