In the four summer seasons of working at the sports equipment rental facility at Lake Velenje, we envisioned a system that would increase our work efficiency and provide better oversight over rented equipment, since the problem of not having managed to record all the rental times during the days with increased visits. Because of this, we did not know if the customers returned the equipment on time. With this diploma thesis we eliminated the problem and realized the system. Instead of a desktop or strictly dedicated mobile application, we chose a web application as we do not want to depend on the type of devices used and thus cover a larger share of the potential market. We decided to develop the application in Laravel, one of the currently most popular web application development frameworks built in PHP. At the time of development we tested the application at work and decided to also add QR code reading, which simplified the process of renting and returning the equipment. The application proved to be useful as it improved work efficiency and oversight over rented equipment.
