This one's a monster. You asked, we built. You quoted, we tracked. You grew, we scaled — and honestly, you all have been pushing out so many quotes lately that we had no choice but to finally sit down, rebuild half the platform, and ship the update this software has been begging for.
So here it is. 1.0.0. No more beta flags, no more "it's almost there." This is Apex Rental Pro, all grown up and ready to run your business harder than you run it yourself.
Strap in — there's a lot.
If you've ever had a mower, a truck, or a 40x80 tent financed and wondered "how much of that thing have I actually paid off this year?" — we've got you.
Your tax person is going to weep tears of joy. (The good kind.)
Rental inventory is great, but your business runs on more than what customers see. Trucks. Generators. Trailers. The forklift in the back corner. All that stuff needs oil changes, inspections, registration renewals, and — surprise — it breaks when you forget about it.
So we built a whole new Assets page:
Stop writing "CHECK OIL" on the calendar in Sharpie. This is 2026.
The Layout Designer got a serious glow-up. Cleaner canvas, smoother drag-and-drop, better snapping, and a whole lot less friction from "empty screen" to "client-ready floorplan."
Big news — the Apex Rental Pro mobile app is dropping soon on iOS and Android. Time clock, event details, customer lookups, lawn-care routes, loan documents, the works. If you can do it at your desk, you're about to be able to do it from the back of the truck.
Check the Announcements page for store links as soon as they go live.
New-account setup is now tuned to your industry. Tent rental, party supply, equipment rental, lawn care, vehicle rental, or general rental — the wizard reads the room and adjusts:
No more "generic rental software" energy. It speaks your language from minute one.
If you're running a lawn-care operation, you've been carrying us for a while. We heard the feedback and we went hard:
Not everyone on your team needs to see what you paid for the tent. We added an admin-strict permission flag called "View Asset Financials" that controls who sees:
Here's the kicker: this one doesn't auto-grant to admins. Even your admins start locked out. The tenant owner has it automatically (because, duh, it's your money), but everyone else — including other admins — has to be explicitly given access by you. Your financial data, your rules.
New "customer rentable" toggle on every inventory item. Flip it off and the item:
Perfect for tools, consumables, shop equipment, or that one weird tent you never actually rent but refuse to throw away.
The subscription upgrade page got a full redesign. Cleaner, faster, and frankly a lot less boring. Because if you're going to give us money, the least we can do is make it look nice.
For our self-hosted and platform-admin folks — the Live Look dashboard leveled up:
Build Kits (think: a 40x80 made of ends and mids) now support Internal Details and Loan tracking just like individual items. Track the financing on the whole kit, attach PDFs, the full deal. No more "everything but the kitchen sink" disclaimers — build kits are finally first-class citizens.
The public-facing landing page got a brand-new promo video front and center, plus a few visual tweaks to convert more of the visitors you're sending our way. (Yes, we see you sharing the link. Keep it up.)
We're not going to bore you with every fix, but here's a sample of what got squashed:
If you reported something in the last month, there's a solid chance it's fixed in this release. Thanks for the bug reports — keep 'em coming.
