The Dashboard

The Dashboard is the first thing you see when you log in to FlexiRent. It gives you a real-time snapshot of your rental business at a glance.

Filters​

At the top of the dashboard you can filter all metrics by:

  • Location — view data for a specific location or all locations combined
  • Category — filter by inventory category
  • Timeframe — view data for a specific time period or all time

Your current filter selection is shown beneath the dropdowns.

Summary metrics​

The four metric cards show your key business numbers:

MetricDescription
Total RevenueCombined revenue from all orders in the selected timeframe
Active RentalsNumber of bookings currently in progress
Total CustomersNumber of unique customers in your account
Utilisation RatePercentage of your total inventory currently in use

Recent bookings​

Below the metrics is a list of your most recent bookings. Each entry shows the booking reference, status, inventory category, customer name, item name, rental dates, and total value. Click any booking to open the full details.

tip

Use the filters to focus on a specific location or category — useful if you manage multiple locations or inventory types.

Notifications​

The bell icon 🔔 in the top right of the admin panel shows real-time notifications for activity on your account. Notifications include:

  • Customer Order Received — a new confirmed order has been placed
  • Pending Order Received — a customer has started a booking but not yet completed it

Click any notification to open the relevant order or pending session. Click View all notifications to see the full list.

Go to Website​

The Go to Website button in the top right of the admin panel takes you to the customer-facing website so you can see what your customers see.

tip

Right-click Go to Website and select Open in new tab to keep the admin panel open at the same time. This is useful when you want to check how a change looks on the front end without losing your place in the admin.
