Hardware coordinator
Rentman checks most of the boxes for us. To be able to fit crewplanning, equipment inventory and planning, maintenance and repair. The list goes on for all the functions in this system!
- The system is constantly evolving with weekly updates and features added from inputs of the user base
- The pricepoint is great for a system like this and very flexible in terms of different functions and users
- To have unlimited free users is valuable for us with a lot of freelance users that need access
- The support is outstanding
- Answers quickly and always replies to feature requests or bug reports
- Its not always simple to navigate and some functions can be hidden
- Overall the system can feel a bit overengineered sometimes
- For our usercase the system lacks in terms of tracking specific equipment and being able to book it by serial number

We needed a proper inventory system to be able to have stock count and track equipment.
Why they chose it
"Pricing and flexibility. Crew planner and repair maintenance function was something others couldn´t meet."

Full scale rental managing tool at an affordable price, even for small businesses.
Very positiv experience so far, now 4 years as a user and having our company rely on Rentman every day. We do not use all the functionalities in the system, mostly because we use it in a slightly different industry than what Rentmans most users are workring in. But also since our economy system in separate form Rentman with manual transfer between the system, and since we have had to do some workaround in order to adapt the system to the way our industry works locally in our country. Rentmans support team is outstanding. Always there to help with a very humble approach and always with very detailed descriptions of functions or features. Rentman has proven to be open to get feedback even from smaller businesses like myself, and to be wiling to add or develop features that would make our workdays easier.
- The workflow
- How it streamlines the way through a project covering everything from equipment, crew and transport scheduling and quoting, all the way to final invoicing for a project
- Integration possibilities with separate accounting systems are limited
- The product sales feature is a bit limited
- Would like more flexibility in stock handling and having a better workflow for project types that are only for product sales
- Integration with transport/courier services would mak things easier too
Why they chose it
"Ease of use, lower cost, good recommendation from orhter users."

Efficient and Essential for AV Logistics
Rentman has streamlined our workflow significantly. It moved us away from spreadsheets to a professional, centralized system. It reduces errors, improves team communication, and is totally worth the investment for event production.
- I love how it unifies inventory, crew planning, and quoting into one system
- The real-time equipment tracking prevents double bookings, and the QR code scanning feature saves us hours in the warehouse
- The mobile app is a bit limited for administrative tasks compared to the desktop version
- Also, the initial setup and learning curve can be steep for new users due to the many features available

Maybe will be, the ideal software for me,
The experience with Rentman has been a bit complicated, the support is not very useful if you don't pay for training, I haven't been able to do some essential documents for my operation, and to do my financial calculations requires additional work.
- Es fácil de usar una vez que ya logras llenar todo lo que te solicita
We can’t have different rates for the gear we can’t assign the cost for the gear in the inventory We can’t calculate thirt party commission
Why they chose it
"For the Rentman database migration will be a little complicate, and i have projects in progress"

Rentman for small rental house
As warehouse manager of a rental house, Rentman has improved the work flow and made planning easier and more transparent. It's easy to see what's coming up and what issues might come with shortages and tight turnaround times. Implementation and learning curve has been mostly smooth and support is always prompt.
- It's fast, easy to access and relatively easy to use
- It makes the connection between project planning and inventory management more logical and, usually, smoother
There are a few work flows that are inherent in the program that doesn't fit our way of working, but nothing that can't be solved with easy workarounds

Because our current software came to end of life
Why they chose it
"It looked more worked through and thought out than the alternatives."

Rentman great for crewing
It's been crucial to our crewing strategy. We are small production company. Often 4 events at different venues. Previously used spread sheet for crewing.
- I use the Rentman product for listing of projects and for crewing those projects
- Rentman has streamlined our crewing process and allowed me to successfully meet our crew members needs
- lack of flexibility regarding changes in projects as well as changes in crew member availability
- For instance if crew member accepts an assignment but later needs to drop the assignment
- Rentman still shows the person as accepted the assignment

had a Rentman demo and liked it, so we licensed the product

Audio Visual Hire Review
I have really enjoyed getting to know Rentman better and using more of its features. it has streamlined our company and easy to know what and where everything and everyone is. It's been great!
- I like that the day to day running of the company can be completed solely through Rentman
- I don't need added Calanders or planners to manage the equipment, crew and vehicles
- The app can be quite limiting when on the road
- I would like to be able to book a simple reminder or enter a basic job so when on the road I don't forget when returning to work to complete a full job entry
- Probably a me issue but could be useful
Why they chose it
"We liked that u were a web-based product and can log in anywhere. Hiretrack was a server-based product. they also didn't have any phone app that can be used for staff and to log gear in and out."

Rentman review
Overall it is a great software that is easy to use and learn with a lot of data points that are expressly useful in everyday applications.
- Inventory management is a breeze, and scanning/tracking where gear is, is great
- The interface is easy to use, and scheduling crew makes things much easier since it is all in one place where you can track more than you need
- Transfer projects, scanning kits can be confusing at times
- The way we use the software can make things difficult once we are transferring gear, epically when several different qr’d itsms are in kits

Best software to the Av market
Verified reviewer
- It's a very complete software, with lots of monthly usefull upgrades and a great support team to help with bugs and issues
- The ease of manage all the crew, projects and equipment is gamechanger beacuse there is all in one place
- The fact that you can costumize what you need is very good for company with low budget and so on
The software is very complex, although you can basically use 65% of the software int the first week, you need basically a few months to custumize it at you own way
