01 / The business
Start with the business.
The business
CUE Rental is a fictional two-person equipment rental business in Coimbra. Marta handles enquiries and approves quotes; Duarte prepares cameras, audio and lighting for freelance video makers and small production teams.
Where it goes wrong
A customer wants to collect a camera at 13:00. Its repair ends at noon, but it still needs two hours of preparation. On the calendar it looks free. For that collection time, it is not ready.
How it worked before
Marta reads each email, checks the equipment list and booking calendar, asks Duarte about maintenance, then writes a reply. A change of date or quantity means checking those records again.
What a useful result means
A desk that checks the request against equipment records and prepares an editable reply. Marta reviews it before anything goes to the customer.
What mattered here
The filming date is only part of the picture.
Equipment also needs time for preparation, collection and return checks.
A brief email can leave important gaps.
The reply asks for missing details instead of assuming a time, location or lens.
The customer can still change their mind.
When dates or quantities change, the proposal needs a fresh review.
02 / The improvement
See what changed.
Customer asks for two E1s
Check individual equipmentAnother booking already needs one E1 camera and lens. The desk flags that there are not enough units for a second full kit.
The customer refers to an earlier quote
Make changes visibleAn expired quote or a different quantity is flagged before the reply is reviewed.
03 / The result
Try it for yourself.
The camera cannot be ready at 13:00. See the draft offering 14:00, then change the request to explore other checks.
