Rentman Reviews & Product Details

What I love the most about Rentman is how feature rich it is! The ability to customize the software (or not) to our specific need is extremely helpful. I know we haven't even scratched the surface in terms of custom fields, templates, and integrations that we could be utilizing. It helps all aspects of the business, from business development, labor coordination, quoting, and beyond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike the about Rentman is that you are unable to have multiple people actively editing the same project. There are times when employees will go home for the night and their computer still had a project opened, which restricts other employees from making changes to that project. Or in busy seasons when projects are actively being worked on from a labor coordination, schedule, and warehouse perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to create bookings for clients, and keep track of equipment. I also really love that the Rentman team is so responsive to any issues that might arise, and they are always willing to take feature suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the way Rentman operates doesn't quite work for how we want to create kits and groups of equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cross compatibility with desktop, app and handheld scanners to operate the warehouse across all levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a lack of customisation for how combinations are able to be used which can be tricky to make the system work for unique business use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Crew and Vehicle management is so handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really cant think of anything i dislike about rentman. 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:

One place for projects, equipment, crew, and documents.

Complete: availability, subrentals, QR/barcodes, quotes, invoices—it all fits together perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning curve: you have to persevere, otherwise you won't get the most out of it.

Getting freelancers on board: not everyone follows the planning tool; invitations and instructions require extra attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
