Limaco supplies construction equipment to professionals and individuals - an authorised reseller for a range of brands that also rents machines and services what it sells. INFIGO built the shop that had to do all of it at once.
01 · The context
A catalogue with two minds
Selling a machine and renting one are not the same transaction. A sale needs a quantity and a price. A rental needs dates - from when, until when - and a price that follows from them. Limaco’s catalogue had to hold both modes side by side, and the usual answer, a rental plugin taped over a standard shop, is exactly the kind of seam that shows at the checkout.
02 · The build
WooCommerce, taught to rent
We built a custom WooCommerce theme from the supplied design and made the two modes native. A product declares whether it is for sale or for hire, and the catalogue, the product page and the order flow adapt to it - the rental side books a period instead of counting stock, which touches everything from the order form to how a booking is recorded.
Around the shop sits the rest of the business: servicing, repairs, and a Contact Form 7 enquiry path for everything a catalogue cannot answer on its own.
03 · The long haul
What this case keeps
The live site has since been rebuilt by another supplier on a page-builder setup. What this case keeps is the part that was genuinely hard and still is: a shop that treats renting as its own transaction rather than a checkbox on a product.
What we delivered
- A custom WooCommerce build with sale and rental as first-class modes.
- Date-range rental ordering that books a period rather than a unit count.
- Service and repair content with a direct enquiry path.
