Rental Pool for Event Equipment

PROWERB maintains its own rental pool for event equipment — with an event warehouse, system-supported issue and return, and refurbishment after every use. Brands borrow what they need instead of buying what then sits idle. Every item is tracked in real time: stored, reserved, in transit or in refurbishment.

Since 1979 · over 1,000 campaigns a year · ISO 9001 & 14001 · EcoVadis Silver

Starting point

Purchased equipment costs three times over: at purchase, in storage, when you try to find it again.

After the season, the equipment sits somewhere — in the branch office basement, at the exhibition builder's, on rented space. Before the next event, the search begins: what still exists? What's usable? Who repairs the damaged piece? Because no one knows for sure, more gets bought. The rental pool reverses that logic: equipment is borrowed, delivered, assembled, taken back and refurbished — and stands ready again for the next date. You pay for use, not for downtime.

Workflow

Out to the event, back into the pool — a closed cycle.

The pool distinguishes available, reserved, issued and blocked equipment. Returns are inspected first; only agreed refurbishment and release make them available again. The diagram’s state sequence complements the work stages.

  1. 01

    Reservation

    Equipment is requested and reserved from the pool. Availability and date are recorded in the system, not passed along verbally.

  2. 02

    Picking & delivery

    The equipment is picked, packed and delivered to the venue on schedule. Bulky goods and glass are everyday business, not an exception.

  3. 03

    On-site assembly

    Our own teams assemble and disassemble — for small events as well as major ones.

  4. 04

    Return

    After the event, reverse logistics collects the equipment. The return is system-supported — every item is re-booked on receipt.

  5. 05

    Refurbishment

    Inspect, clean, repair: every item is refurbished and returned to the pool ready for use. Wear is documented, not discovered.

Rental cycle

Equipment states in the rental cycle

  1. 01AvailableInspected and released for a new use.
  2. 02ReservedAllocated to a date and order.
  3. 03IssuedPicked and handed over for use.
  4. 04Blocked / reviewInspect the return, clarify damage and refurbish where needed.
  5. 05Available againSchedule again only after documented release.

Return receipt and availability are separate steps. Assembly, transport and damage replacements follow the agreed event scope.

What this shows

Inspect returns before releasing them again.

Scope of services

A pool is not a shelf. It's an operation.

Behind the rental pool stands PROWERB's event-logistics pillar: an event warehouse, dedicated assembly teams, reverse logistics with refurbishment — and a system foundation that tracks every item in real time.

01Event warehouseDedicated warehouse for event equipment with smooth inventory booking in our own ERP/WMS — RFID-capable, managed in real time.
02System-supported rentalIssue and return run through the system. Every movement is booked, every status known: stored, reserved, in transit, in refurbishment.
03On-site assemblySetup and teardown by our own teams — from tasting stands to major events.
04Reverse logistics & refurbishmentCollection, inspection, repair, restocking. The condition of the pool is a managed metric, not a matter of chance.
05Bulky-goods and glass handlingUmbrellas, glassware, coolers: formats that standard fulfillers screen out are everyday business here.
06Reporting →Operations Cockpit with live reports, track-and-trace and inventory trends — viewable 24/7, integrated into customer systems on request.

Event equipment is not a side business at PROWERB. For Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, umbrella shipping, glassware shipping and event logistics have been part of the mandate established in 2021. For Oatly, we deliver fridges and chests and fill them on site. In total, PROWERB runs more than 1,000 campaigns a year — the rental pool is tied to the same event logistics: the same teams, the same systems, the same dock.

The pool is one component. The event is the whole journey.

Rental equipment rarely travels alone. On the same campaigns run POS logistics, ticketing and promotion fulfillment — from the same company, on the same systems.

FAQ

The questions that come before the first rental.

What kind of equipment does the pool hold?

Event equipment needed on a recurring basis — including bulky goods, glass and coolers. What stock makes sense for a brand is clarified in the briefing: the pool is defined per mandate, not sold off a catalog.

Can you take over our existing equipment?

Yes. We take customer-owned equipment into the event warehouse, record it in the system and manage it like our own pool: issue, return, refurbishment, real-time inventory.

Who does the on-site assembly?

Our own teams. On-site assembly and disassembly are part of PROWERB's event logistics — for small events as well as major ones.

What happens to damaged equipment?

Every return is inspected and repaired. Refurbishment is a fixed part of the cycle: damaged items go into refurbishment documented, not back onto the shelf without comment.

How do we keep track of inventory?

Via the Operations Cockpit: live reports, track-and-trace and inventory trends, available around the clock and integrated into your systems on request.
