Demo guide

Try the demo in 10 minutes

The demo is a complete sample rental company called Demo Rentals. Follow these steps in order: first make a booking as a client, then watch that same booking arrive at the office and take it through to payment.

Before you start

  • A computer or tablet works best. Keep this guide open in one tab and the demo in another.
  • Use your own email address, so you receive the emails a client would get.
  • No real money changes hands. Payments use a test card, shown in step 10.
  • Demo Rentals resets every night, so feel free to try anything.

Part 1 - About 4 minutes

Book as a client

  1. Open the demo and leave your details

    Go to kairoo.app/demo, fill in the short form and click Enter the demo. You'll see two options.

  2. Open the client side

    Click Open the client side. The Demo Rentals enquiry form opens in a new tab: exactly what your own clients would see, with your logo.

    Enter your name, your own email address and your phone number, tick the box and click Continue.

    The enquiry is now saved for the company, even before a quote is confirmed.

    Back in Bookings, the status changes to paid once the payment comes through.

  6. Look at how it's set up

    Open Pricing, Insurance, Vehicles and Settings to see how a company enters its own rates, seasons, cover options, fees and deposit rules. Then open Reports.

    Try the Quote Calculator too: it's how staff quote a client who phones in.

Good to know

A few things about the demo

  • Other visitors may be using Demo Rentals at the same time, so you may see their bookings too.
  • Everything you change is undone at the nightly reset.
  • The demo sends a limited number of emails each day. If one doesn't arrive, check your spam folder.
  • Your own company would use your own logo, vehicles, prices and payment account.
