One calendar, every location
See one location or all of them in timeline, month, week, day or agenda view. Filter by status or category, and drag a booking on the timeline to new dates or another item.
Operations
Run the floor without losing the thread.
Every location's bookings on one calendar, the day's pickups and returns in one list, a guided return for every unit that comes back, and service schedules that keep units off the books until they are ready.
Operations at a glance
The day, in order
The daily manifest lists what goes out and what comes back on each store's own day, with check-out and check-in a click away. Print it for the counter, and print tomorrow's pick list tonight.
Service on schedule
Set recurring service schedules in days, and what is due or overdue is flagged. Log the work and its cost, and an item in maintenance cannot be booked until it is ready.
Capabilities
Everything you actually use, every day.
Moves that follow through
Change the dates or move a booking to another item, and GoGo Engine checks the item is free for those dates and reprices the booking on the server.
Blocks that hold
Block an item for a date range with a reason, or set it to maintenance, and bookings that overlap are refused.
Pickups checked first
Before a unit goes out, staff see whether the waiver is signed, the balance is paid and photos are taken. A required waiver that is not signed stops the pickup.
Guided returns
A five-step return rates each area's condition, takes photos, records late, fuel, cleaning or damage charges, and takes the customer's signature on screen.
Needs Attention
Overdue returns, bookings on items out of service, unsettled charges and deposit holds still open after a return, in one queue.
Turnaround and hours
Give each item a turnaround buffer between bookings and each location its own opening hours.

Questions
The things people ask first.
There is no self-serve import today. Locations, items, rates and rules are set up in the dashboard, with templates and duplicates to speed it up.
On top of your flat monthly subscription, we collect a small platform fee on the booking GMV that flows through GoGo Engine. 1.5% on Operator, 1.0% on Studio, 0.5% on Fleet, negotiated on Enterprise. There are no per-booking fees, no Stripe markups, and we never touch the released portion of damage deposits. As you grow into a higher tier, the platform fee rate drops. We’re aligned with your scale.
Because we believe in skin in the game. A flat-only model means we get paid the same whether you do $10k or $10M in bookings, which doesn’t reward us for making your business grow. The platform fee aligns our work with your outcomes. If your bookings go up, ours do too. If they don’t, we’re motivated to fix that.
They may. Booking pages, the customer portal and emails carry your business name. Emails are sent from GoGo Engine’s sending address, and booking pages show a small “Powered by GoGo Engine” line. Widgets can hide that badge.
The hold is released when your team checks the unit back in clean. If there’s damage, staff photograph it and add the charge in the return wizard, and you capture only that amount from the hold. The customer is sent a notice with the amount and the reason, and if they have no email on file or it fails to send, the return screen tells your team so they can tell the customer themselves. You don’t pay Stripe fees on the released portion.
Payments run on Stripe, and email and SMS go out through Resend and Twilio. QuickBooks, Slack, Mailchimp and other integrations are not available. The public REST API and signed webhooks can feed your own tools; API keys are not self-serve today.
Connections to the app use HTTPS, and row-level security in the database limits each signed-in user to their own business’s data. Data lives in a managed Postgres database on Supabase. The security page has the details.
There is no app to install and no offline mode. GoGo Engine runs in the browser: booking pages and the customer portal fit a phone screen, and staff can photograph a return with the phone’s camera in the return wizard.
Live chat with humans on every plan, with escalation to a named CSM on Enterprise. We answer fast because we are a small team and operators ourselves. We know what waiting on a vendor feels like.
