What Setful is
Setful is rental management software for UK event hire businesses handling furniture, décor, tableware, linen, and party equipment. Its Promise Check assesses constraints including stock, turnaround, warehouse, crew, vehicles, route, supplier, margin, and payment before a booking is accepted. Quotes show live availability by line, keep sent revisions fixed, and can offer extras that do not reserve stock until chosen. Customers can use a private link to read, question, adjust, sign, and track proposals without an account.
The crew app stores scans on the device and syncs when a connection returns; manual SKU entry is a fallback. Setful supports quote building, rental contracts, delivery scheduling, online booking, and return tracking. Core costs £149 a month, excluding VAT, and includes three office users and one location. Scale costs £249 a month, excluding VAT, with ten office users and up to three locations; it includes API access and webhooks. Both plans allow unlimited warehouse, driver, and crew accounts. Setful describes itself as pre-launch and says no operator has yet used it as their only system through a busy weekend.
