I run this stuff myself
The software you would buy is the software I use to take a booking, hold a bond and keep a WOF from lapsing. When it breaks, I feel it first.
About
I run two rental fleets. Then I build the software that runs them.
I am Adam. Dori Media is me, one person in Christchurch. I have been building on the web since 2005 and running this studio since 2010, and these days most of what I build is for rental operators, because I am one.
I answer my own phone, write my own quotes, and I am the one on the tools at 7am when a pickup goes sideways.
I run Jimny Rentals and Dream Drives, a small fleet of about ten cars out of Christchurch. It started as a side hustle and turned into the best product research I could ask for. Every awkward booking, every bond dispute, every car stuck in the wrong city taught me what rental software actually needs to do.
My background is software. So when I could not find booking software that worked the way I needed, I built my own, and I kept improving it because I use it every day. That is Glovebox. The rest of the suite came the same way, from real problems in my own business, not a whiteboard.
Before rental I spent fifteen years building booking systems, marketplaces and SaaS for other people: motorsport, festivals, retail, fintech. Some of it still makes money for those clients today. Same discipline, whatever the invoice size.
What I believe.
You own what I build
Custom work is yours: the code, the hosting, the data. You are not renting a seat on someone else's roadmap.
Fixed pricing or it is not real
You should know what you are buying before we start. Surprises are for birthdays.
I stick around after launch
Six months later something will need a tweak. A lot of clients have been with me 5+ years because I am still here.
Built from real problems
Four products, each one a fix for something that bit me.
Glovebox is the booking system I could not buy, so I built it. Parked Funds came from losing a bond dispute I should have won. Freelegs came from cars stranded after one-way hires. And Fleetmate, launching soon, came from needing a set of hands in a city I do not have a branch in.
Beyond rental
Longtime clients outside the fleet world, some going back 15 years.
