Rentman Reviews & Product Details

I have lots of positives about Rentman, especially the transport volume calculations of equipment and the crew planner. The transport volume feature helps us determine which vehicle is appropriate for each project, providing data to back it up, which is incredibly useful. The crew planner acts as a day-to-day calendar for all of our external freelancers, making booking teams for projects fast and effortless. Freelancers can log in and populate the calendar themselves, reducing the need for a lot of 'are you available on this day' type phone calls. One of the primary attractions was the Crew and Transport management features, alongside the rapid rate of development and increased level of customer support and responsiveness.

I find the accessories/combinations feature somewhat clunky and awkward. It's incredibly frustrating that accessories can't be presented in the same format as combinations in quotations and lists. This makes quotations and lists incredibly busy and messy. We've had to make virtual combinations of equipment for one light, which is a functional workaround but is incredibly inconvenient and awkward. Initial setup wasn't that easy, it took a while to learn the unique ways of having to do things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Rentman streamlines the crew scheduling and overview process. This feature allows me to quickly see all of my events and readily identify which positions are filled or still need staffing, which is incredibly beneficial for maintaining an organized overview of our staffing needs. It's particularly valuable because we work with a large pool of specialists, like audio engineers and lighting designers, and Rentman helps ensure that we always assign the right crew to the right job. Furthermore, the initial configuration of Rentman was quite straightforward and fit well with our business operations, minimizing setup stress and facilitating an efficient transition. This simplicity in setup was complemented by helpful documentation and support staff, which eased the migration process immensely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rentman lacks features for accounting or payroll management. While I can track hours and rates, it doesn't facilitate easy tracking or sending of payments, requiring the use of a separate payroll system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Rentman is how seamlessly everything connects in one platform. From scheduling crew and transport to tracking gear availability and sending out invoices, it all happens in the same system. I especially like the clear overview of my projects and the fact that I can always see exactly what equipment is available and where it needs to be.

Also the support from the Rentman team is insanely good. They help with all issues, change there program or explain choice that are made. They can even access via remote to help control or show functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I’d point out is that the mobile app could be a bit clearer in terms of overview. It works well, but sometimes finding the right info takes a little longer than I’d like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm still quite new to Rentman but so far the best features to me are:

- integration of logistics of trucking and labour into a rental software

- the accessibility of event documents via the app

- order prepping/returming via the app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
