TIME SAVINGS AS THE KEY TO SUCCESS
1994 - start your engines, go digital: While Sony ushers in a new gaming era in Japan with the Playstation, the first Windows-based software for ski rental is launched in Germany. And with resounding success: The product SPORTS RENTAL (today: S|R Rental) advances to market leader in a short time. Since 1999 and until today, it is the world's leading software for sports equipment rental. At the same time, this breakthrough enables the development of a complementary product family, making S|R Software the leading full-service provider for the modern sports business.

RESTLESS SINCE 1994
There's a reason why S|R Rental is the world' number 1 and why the entire software family is extremely popular today: We're never satisfied with the status quo and we're constantly working to improve. Sometimes it's small things, like design or usability improvements. And sometimes it's big leaps, with new products or adaptation for mobile systems. The fact is: every day we get a little closer to the perfect software.
