FEATURE REQUEST: PRICE LOCK
I’d love to see a “Price Lock” function added to Flex Rental Solutions.
Here’s the scenario:
A customer gives us a budget, or we agree on a specific rental price. We then continue building and modifying the quote—adding equipment, removing items, changing quantities, swapping gear, etc.
The problem: the agreed-upon price can get lost or changed as the quote evolves.
Proposed Feature: PRICE LOCK
Allow us to lock the agreed-upon price on a quote.
Once the price is locked:
- The agreed rental price stays fixed.
- We can continue adding, removing, or changing equipment on the quote.
- The locked price does not automatically recalculate based on those changes.
- The quote can continue to evolve without losing the negotiated/budgeted price.
- An authorized user could manually unlock the price if a new agreement is reached.
For example:
Customer says, “We have a $5,000 budget.”
We build a quote, make changes, add equipment, remove equipment, swap items around, and eventually agree on $5,000.
Lock Price → $5,000
From that point forward, I can modify the quote all day long, but the customer’s agreed price remains $5,000 until someone intentionally unlocks or changes it.
I could see this being especially useful for budget-based quotes, negotiated pricing, production packages, corporate accounts, and long-running revisions.
It would also be great if Flex could display a small Price Locked indicator on the quote so there’s no confusion for anyone working on it.
Basically: Let us change the quote without changing the deal.
That would be a HUGE quality-of-life improvement for rental companies.
