Ticketing for bike rentals and tours¶

Q: Does the module distinguish self-rental from guided tours on the same bike fleet?

Yes: the available bike fleet capacity is shared between self-rental and guided tours, deducting each bike at the time of booking, regardless of the channel.

Odoo manages sales at the counter, online sales, and the check at departure for your bike rentals and tours, with a capacity tied to the number of bikes actually available.

This is for you if…

Your bike fleet is limited and shared between self-rental and guided tours
You sell at the counter and online, with no risk of renting more bikes than the fleet available
Groups or works councils ask you for a bike outing with a quote or deferred invoicing

A day on a bike tour¶

On a Sunday morning, your rental point has twenty bikes : some go out on simple day rentals, others are booked for the 10am guided bike tour with an instructor, before continuing in the afternoon on an outdoor activity trail. A family rents four bikes directly at the counter, while a group booked its guided tour package online the day before.

As soon as the available bike fleet runs out, no more rentals are possible, whatever package was chosen. Without a system shared between the counter and online sales, nothing prevents the fleet from being oversold between self-rental and guided tours.

The Billetterie module for Odoo manages this fleet constraint directly within your Odoo environment : a capacity tied to the number of bikes actually available, availability shared in real time between the counter and online sales, and a single ticket regardless of the purchase channel. Whether your bikes go out for self-rental or a guided tour, every booking is deducted from the same fleet capacity, directly within your Odoo environment.

The 4 key benefits¶

A seamless visitor experience

Booking at the counter or online, same ticket, same check at departure — no difference in handling depending on the sales channel.
A controlled bike fleet

Limit the number of bikes rented to the fleet actually available, distinguishing self-rental from guided tours, with no manual intervention.
Fill rate tracked in real time

Monitor rentals, guided tours, and revenue by package, directly within your Odoo environment.
Native Odoo integration

No third-party tool to connect : ticketing relies directly on your existing Odoo CRM, accounting, and inventory, including the bike fleet.

What each module brings to your bike rentals and tours¶

The Billetterie module builds on Odoo's existing building blocks — each one covers a step of the visitor journey, from booking to returning the bike.

Ticket printed or emailed in one click
Bike deducted instantly from the available fleet — no overbooking possible

Sales : groups and works councils¶

Quotes and group pricing terms for corporate bike outings

Channels manager : expanding distribution (coming soon)¶

A bike rental or tour rarely sells through a single channel : partner tourist offices, hotels, and soft-mobility platforms also relay your availability. The Channels manager module, currently in development (the first building blocks are already in place), will make it possible to sync your availability with these external channels directly from Odoo, with no manual re-entry.
