Managing Rent Packages: A Quick Guide
Set packages up once and the app works out allowances, extras and mid-month changes for you.
Rent packages do the maths for you. Set them up once, and LIVERYLive calculates allowances, extra charges and changes that happen partway through a month.
Step 1: your building blocks
Before creating a package, list your services, such as mucking out, hay and shavings, in Yard Setup > Services. Set a standard price for each. This is what anyone not on a package pays.
Step 2: build the package
Go to Yard Setup > Packages and group your services into plans such as Full, Part or DIY.
- Pick your billing day: add rent to the horse’s bill on the 1st or the last day of the month.
- Set the rule for each service:
| Rule | What it means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Included | Never charged | Turnout on full livery |
| Included with allowance | A set amount is free, anything over is charged | First 8 bales of shavings free |
| No inclusion | Always charged as an extra | Clipping |
Packages
AddCreate package tiers that include a set number of services or products each week, all bundled into a simple monthly subscription.
| Package | Description | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full livery (7 days) | All daily care included8 shavings a month included | £850.00 Monthly fee | Edit |
| Part livery | Week day care included4 shavings per month included | £550.00 Monthly fee | Edit |
| DIY | All extra services charged full priceIncludes one large bale hay | £350.00 Monthly fee | Edit |
| Yard owned | Yard owned horses – no charges | £0.00 Monthly fee | Edit |
Step 3: track it in real time
Each horse’s profile has a package section showing how many bales or services it has used this month, and how close it is to the limit.
Why managers love it
The app starts charging the moment an allowance is used up.
Staff just tick jobs off. The system works out what’s included and what’s extra.
