Project Overview

RentSetu is a rental business platform built to manage customers, bookings, and operational workflows from a centralized system.

The project focused primarily on backend architecture, where the goal was to create a reliable foundation that could support:

• Rental listings

• Customer data

• Booking workflows

• Admin operations

• Future frontend or mobile integrations

I handled the entire backend development, building APIs and database structures to power the rental platform.

Business Problem

Before RentSetu, rental operations were inefficient:

• Customer data was scattered

• Booking processes were manual

• No centralized admin system

• Difficult tracking of rental activity

• Limited scalability for growth

The business needed a robust backend system that could automate workflows and centralize operations.

Solution Strategy

I designed and implemented a backend-first architecture that provides:

✅ Core Rental APIs

• Customer management

• Rental listing management

• Booking creation & updates

• Status tracking

• Data retrieval endpoints

✅ Admin Operations

• Centralized admin access

• Rental activity overview

• Customer database

• Booking history

✅ Scalable Architecture

• Modular API structure

• Clean database schema

• Future-ready system design

• Secure authentication flows

This allowed the business to manage rentals digitally instead of manually.
