Are you looking for a system that would be used internally (your company only) to track the loans and due dates, or are you looking for a system that will be accessible (at a different level) for potential customers to see what (and when) the equipment they would like to borrow is available? Also, is this to work like a library in that loans would be made for similar periods and renewable (perhaps with limits)?
