Pay-upon-return: Self Entry stations

Self-Entry Stations are web pages that are designed to facilitate the process of collecting guest information for rental products. Self-Entry eliminates the step of a guest filling out a paper Rental form or card and replaces it with an electronic copy of the guest information.

Basic flow without Self Entry module:

1. Guest fills out a paper Rental form with personal information.

2. Guest proceeds to rental shop cashier (contract station).

3. Cashier sells the appropriate rental contract item and manually enters the guest information from the paper rental cards.

4. Cashier “starts” the contracts.

5. Guest proceeds to a TechStation to receive equipment.

This process can be streamlined for the cashier by adding the Self Entry step before the rental contract is started by the cashier:

1. Guest steps up to a Self Entry station and completes the process by entering his/her personal information.

2. Guest proceeds to rental shop cashier (contract station).

3. Cashier sells a rental contract item to the guest and selects the appropriate Self Entry record when prompted. Or, the cashier directly selects Self Entry records from the Import self entry dialog, which auto-sells a predefined rental contract item for all guests selected.

4. Cashier “starts” the contracts.

5. Guest proceeds to a TechStation to receive equipment.
