Rentman Reviews

All-in-one equipment management software

Pros:

This tool lets me easily manage my equipment while ensuring its availability, as well as create fully customizable quotes and invoices. Your data is synchronized, stored online and provided in real time.

Cons:

In the year I've been using this tool, I haven't encountered any major problems with it, and I highly recommend it.

Solid platform with a few loose ends

Comments: Overall good experience, good dev team, but out of touch with actual warehouse operations.

Pros:

Well thought out, clean interface and good integration with 3rd-party tools.

Cons:

Combination management is a mess. The general idea works, but the UX needs a complete overhaul.

Alternatives Considered: Flex and R2 Rental Equipment Management Software

Reasons for Choosing Rentman: Developed internally. Needed to reallocate those resources elsewhere as the business grew

Switched From: Internal

Reasons for Switching to Rentman: Cleaner interface and the team seemed to be interested in continuing development rather than just maintaining the platform

confusing user interface

Pros:

Nice functions, online based, electronic signature at offers, easy to create invoices without project,

Cons:

settings are often not individual adjustable like First Day of Work in hours counter for new employes or national holidays. Its not possible to set a sabbatical for a employee in the hours counter Creating forms is very difficult. Finding Projects by name is very complicated

Two years in full use

Comments: So far so good, but we need more options to fully control the business

Pros:

Stock management and crew planner, overall a good application

Cons:

lack of features to help business management and control

Alternatives Considered: Flex

Reasons for Switching to Rentman: More friendly, good options, lack of experience

Very good product, almost perfect

Comments: I love RentMan. It makes my days planning projects and doing warehouse jobs so much easier. Over all it's a super good product, it just missed a few things to be the perfect software. I would still recommend it, it's probably the best rental software in the business if you rent out equipment.

Pros:

Modern browser based app A lot of useful functions

Cons:

The mobile app is a bit behind the desktop app in features with no ability to change items in planned projects on the run. It's time consuming to see what projects has booked as you need to open every project to see equipment. No function to quick view content of a project.

Alternatives Considered: easyjob 3.0

Reasons for Switching to Rentman: RentMan feels more modern browser based so i went with RentMan

Look No Further

Comments: 90.9 out of 100 for overall
Support center is amazing
Support staff are 15/10 every time

Pros:

All in one for rental clouding software with scheduling abilities

Cons:

The new updates NEED to be fixed especially since they are pay to play

Alternatives Considered: HoneyBook and Cvent Event Management

Reasons for Switching to Rentman: Seemed more dialed in for a AV rental production company

Techplus Live Review

Comments: Very Good - We are a small business and scaling up with Rentman as we grown allows us to implement effective systems for equipment, crew and quoting.

Pros:

Lots of different subscription options to choose depending on size/scale of business.

Cons:

Sometimes the equipment/warehousing options are not suited to our size of business - Geared up for larger businesses.

Alternatives Considered: Flex and Current RMS

Reasons for Switching to Rentman: Features were better when we looked at the options available

How good is rentman ? Pretty dam good.

Comments: T
Great. I would and have recommended to people and will continue to do so

Pros:

Easy to use and idiot proof. New and good features appear often Support is stunning and always good. And has feedback when it is "we don't know"

Cons:

Issues and bugs that feel obvious/ simple to fix are not quickly resolved. Features appear and not always in the literature

Rentman rocks!

Comments: The company is always looking for ways to improve the software for their users.

Pros:

Having a ton of flexibility and control of each project.

Cons:

The mobile app could use some more features to give our warehouse staff the ability to work independently without relying on our office staff.

Alternatives Considered: RentWorks and Flex

Reasons for Choosing Rentman: EZRentOut was slow and had limited features.

Switched From: EZRentOut

Reasons for Switching to Rentman: The APU was a huge part. As well as the ability to create subprojects.

3 years of usage

Comments: Over the last 3 years it has been a great upgrade for our solution.

Pros:

The flexibility of the system and the developers

Cons:

shifts is still not working quite as we want it to.

Your number one tool for AV-rental and Project Management business

Comments: Rentman helps me make things more efficient by saving time on resource planning, equipment management and sales. A real "multitool" for an Event production company.

Pros:

Overall logic on the software is very fluent and easy to follow. I never read much of the tips and tricks section, but after couple of hours use I was able to figure out the key functions. I like the amount of time it saves me in quotations and planning for resources. Especially I like the Crew Planner.. That helps a lot when booking people to gigs. Our freelancers are also happy with the Rentman App for phone. Web based service is also a very good thing for smaller business when the need for own server base and maintenance is eliminated.

Cons:

I tried to think this quite a lot, actually. The only thing that really bugs me is the section of documents which takes in data from tabs (customer name, location, project number..) For me, and probably many other, who do not understand that much about coding,(think the section is using css?) that there would be a simpler way to edit the general data of the document. I also happen to know that what I just wrote, corrupts the very idea for the software to fetch the data on the section automatically. Document templates are a bit annoying to get "just right", but well worth it in the long run. One does need a specialist within the organization who is very "into" the software and wants to learn more, and train others, in order to make things run smoothly. It is not that simple, for most of the users.

Alternatives Considered: Trail

Reasons for Switching to Rentman: Based on a demo trial I figured very quickly Rentman to be just what I need. And started lobbying that idea within my organization.

Incomparable customer support!

Comments: Very good so far! Quite a long road preparing it for use in our business with crating all the databases from scratch. But during this process the learning curve has eased out and with the great customer support, all obstacles that have come up along the way have been overcome.

Pros:

For us this puts together perhaps 3-5 other softwares that we have been using separately without any synk in between them making every job to be entered manually in each software for each change or update. Rentman totally takes this away and saves a huge amount of time! After starting using the software, the tremendous customer support is also worth mentioning as one of the pros of the whole Rentman "experience"!

Cons:

Quite steep learning curve if coming from a much smaller similar solution. Some parts have extremely detailed individual settings for user customization, making it quite confusing and overwhelming at times, and some features on the other hand have way to little options for customization.

Alternatives Considered: easyjob 3.0 and farmerswife

Reasons for Choosing Rentman: Needed to keep track of equipment, jobs, crew and transports in a more controlled way rather than having it spread out in several softwares and manual processes.

Switched From: Google Docs

Reasons for Switching to Rentman: Best suited for our kind of business! And the pricing was closest to budget. Got recomended from partner company.

The best event rental software

Comments: We love Rentman, it’s definitely the best software available

Pros:

Rentman lets us keep on track with events and keeps order

Cons:

Allow South Africa based payment gateways on quotes. Abit pricey for small business in South Africa

Rentman makes your work easier

Comments: Overall we are very satisfied with a lots of possibilities Rentman is offering, such as tracking equipment, tracking dates, staff etc. Especially with issuing offers and invoices with ease.

Pros:

It is very user friendly, easy to use and lots of customization options.

Cons:

Impossibility of entering a QR code for payment of issued invoices

An honest review using Rentman for 12+ months

Pros:

The user experience and being able to operate everything from one site, especially for an audiovisual company.

Cons:

They need to work on their mobile app it is too basic and less responsive than the web version.

Great rental management tool

Pros:

Good layout and workflow. Easy to use after initial set up.

Cons:

Poor rental management in app. Sometimes lagging.

Rentman as the help for event management

Pros:

UX design, usability and design, also automatization

Cons:

not obvious how to make integrations with other existing in use products

Feedback

Comments: Good

Pros:

PLanning events and asset management. KNow what gear is availble

Cons:

Developing API for Notion rather than a data dump

Rentman

Comments: My overall experience with Rentman was marked by its powerful project management capabilities tailored specifically for the rental industry. The platform provided a centralized hub for organizing and tracking rental projects, from inventory management to crew scheduling. The robust collaboration features and real-time updates helped streamline operations and enhance team productivity. With continued user support and onboarding improvements, Rentman has the potential to be an indispensable tool for rental businesses of all sizes.

Pros:

One of the standout features I liked most about Rentman was its comprehensive project management capabilities for the rental industry. It allowed me to easily create and manage equipment lists, schedules, and crew assignments. The real-time collaboration and communication tools facilitated seamless coordination among team members and improved overall efficiency.

Cons:

One aspect that I found slightly challenging about Rentman was its initial learning curve, especially for users who were new to the software or the rental industry. While the platform offered extensive functionalities, it took some time to fully grasp and utilize all the features effectively. Improved onboarding resources or interactive tutorials could help new users get up to speed more quickly.

Skyler Rowsell

Comments: Great product with awesome customer service.

Pros:

having one app to catalog inventory and create invoices while being a calendar planning tool is awesome.

Cons:

time tracking system feels more difficult than it needs to be. As an admin not being able to punch in my end time 5 minutes before is frustrating. as well as not having the option for tagging that time to a PO#/ Job # without first creating it as an action item. seems like an unnecessary step.

Such a Stress Relief!

Comments: Overall RentMan has made bringing new crew members on so much easier. They can find items and start learning our inventory. We're better able to track what items went where and if they don't come back. RentMan also helps us so we aren't double booking inventory.

Pros:

We have multiple account reps that had different names for different inventory items. Now we have a standardized inventory with pictures and locations, so everyone is on the same page. Calculating shipping costs is so easy now. The reps can book items and see what their total weight is. I'm not wasting time on projects that may or may not confirm.

Cons:

There's still some features I would like. For example locking down a project so an account rep can't change something day of. Or being able to get a notification that something has changed the day of. We're spilt between 2 warehouses so the account reps can't always walk in the back and talk to the crew. Being able to see Internal Remarks when booking equipment out on the app would be helpful.

Stop your search

Pros:

Easy of use, reliable and best support you can imagine.

Cons:

I'm the legacy user and I dont like new pricing plan and statistic module can be refined.

With Rentman we can manage and simplify all our business processes.

Pros:

- Excellent support - Very good overall performance of the system - Rentman is accessible from every computer with internet connection - There's no need to print a packing slip, as you have it digitally on your mobile phone with the Rentman app - You can scan QR-codes of your equipment using the app - You can add repairs for defective equipment via the app - Really fair pricing - You can synchronise your agenda with CalDAV - The dashboard gives you a good overview of what is relevant and urgent

Cons:

- The price structure is based on fixed packages (Lite, Pro, etc.) but I would prefer to book only certain modules that you would like to use. - The warehouse location of your equipment is not displayed in the app.

assist tracking

Pros:

ease of use, ability to find items within a few clicks

Cons:

There is nothing I don't like about it.

Best product available on the market

Comments: We use Rentman for nearly 2 years and until now we did not have any bigger problems with the software. The support is very fast and professional.

Pros:

For a long time we searched for a rental management software for mac computers. We did not find any satisfying application until we heard from Rentman. Rentman is very easy to use, comes with lot of professional features and saves lot of time and money so you can focus on your business. A great feature we do not want to miss anymore is the Rentman app for mobile devices. All our employees and sub workers installed the app on their smartphone and so they have all necessary information about their jobs and the events available with just one click. We can manage all our jobs including equipment stock, customer details and employee details within one software. this was the reason we chose Rentman as our software.
