Event hire catalogues: marquees, furniture & gear online
Event hire: see it, check it's free, book it. Online catalogues with live availability.
Catalogues as PDFs, availability checked in a spreadsheet and quotes by email. We build online hire catalogues for event hire companies.
Looking for event hire booking software?
Event hire depends on stock availability on specific dates. We build catalogues with live availability, quotes and delivery booking.
Wollopit builds booking systems, ticketing, enquiry flows and websites for event hire companies around how your gigs and events actually run. We connect the tools you already use, cut out fees you don't need to pay and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to putting on a show.

Websites for event hire companies
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your event hire business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things event hire companies ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers see which items are free on their date?
Yes. Availability is shown for the dates they choose.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your event hire business. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can clients book and pay a deposit online?
Yes. Availability, packages, deposits, contracts and balance reminders can all run online without the back and forth.
Can it stop double bookings?
Yes. One live calendar covers every booking, every staff member and every piece of gear, so the same date can't be sold twice.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most event hire companies we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
