We even took the opportunity to make Lokki T-Shirts, corpo hein ?✨

The goal for the end of 2021: to reach 20 employees in the team 💪

Record numbers 📊

Admittedly, the CoVid crisis has affected many equipment rental companies. But this year, activity on Lokki has been in full swing!

📊 - 30,000 reservations created on Lokki

Last year at the same time, we booked 2,000 reservations. We're making good progress 💪

Other interesting figures testify to the rental boom:

  • 2,800,000 € worth of business generated on Lokki since May 2020
  • 6 days of connection on average out of 7 on Lokki for our renters

Lokki grows: An increasingly complete product 💻

We're not going to list all the 2020 features, but here are the highlights:

📑 - Automatic generation of rental contracts
📦 - Product packs
💰 - Simplified bank footprint
- Product lifecycle (breakage & repair tracking)
🛡 - Insurance program with Tulip.io
🔧 - Workshop module for rental fleet maintenance

Lokki Bicycle repair workshop module
Yes, they deserve it 😎

The objective remains the same: to save time and peace of mind for equipment rental companies!

The flagship event of 2020: ProDays 🔦

Prodays is the benchmark event for bicycle professionals. #bike professionals. Of course, we were there 😉

An opportunity to meet our customers, but also to meet new ones.

And yes, we love this sofa ;)

In the trade press, CityRide, BikeEco and SportEco reported on our adventure. 

Thanks to them and to the journalists 😉

A growing rental trend ✨

We already predicted it in a previous article, but renting is becoming ubiquitous. Take (just) 2 minutes to think about all the products that can be rented?

We're all making the same observation: Owning is passé! Nothing can be bought, everything can be rented. It's the advent of the use economy. All sectors of the economy are concerned: Ikea, Decathlon, Bocage, Fnac/Darty are launching rental offers.

And that's what Lokki is all about 👇

More than1/4 of the requests for appointments come from professionals who are starting out in equipment rental.

More and more large retail chains are contacting us to launch rental projects.

With Lokki, we're just at the beginning of our adventure to digitalize the entire rental value chain. Lokki promises to connect the entire rental ecosystem: from supplier to rental company to end customer.

The last word 💌

As 2020 draws to a close, we'd like to extend our warmest thanks to our loyal customers and users for their trust 😍

It's thanks to YOU that we've been able to make Lokki grow this year, thank you!

On vous a donc préparé un 🎁 de fin d'année : l'annuaire des loueurs de vélo par Lokki  >> Pour se faire référencer c'est par ici <<
