Rentman

Avantages

The clarity and clear procedures. Also the quick overview and online availability. The planning of material personnel and vehicle fleet becomes child's play. The organization of the material is simple and clear, as is the overall appearance of the software. Everything runs very reliably. Also the hiring of material is easy to do. The workshop module is clear and practical. This program is packed with knowledge and passion. The support is very fast and effective.

Inconvénients

Little things in the mobile app. For example, you can not simply create a project quickly, with name and date and info. You can work out later in the office. That would be very helpful if you get orders on the way. Otherwise completely satisfied.

Avantages

Rentman is an ideal choice for Crew, Project and Equipment management software. We implemented it over the space of approximately two months, and all staff were able to easily jump on board an start using it daily. We are able to track all our projects and clients, where our equipment is, as well as logging our crew's timesheets. We implemented this coming from no other software, simply all manual, which resulted in the reliance of 3rd party calendar apps, that didn't sync easily.
Now that we have started using Rentman, we couldn't imagine doing business without it.

Inconvénients

There really aren't many negatives about Rentman. The only negative I have is the UI on mobile devices, but that's fairly prevalent in most management softwares, as there is a lot of data needing to be displayed on the screen at one time.

Avantages

Love that Rentman has Crew and equipment Scheduling built in the same app. Like that they have tech support that is built right into the application. When I first started using Rentman, I needed a lot of help. They were there for me. They are also updating Rentman constantly with new features and they are listening to their customers.

Inconvénients

I wish the crew scheduling feature had the ability to send my employees an alert when a project gets canceled. I have asked on their suggestion page where you can leave suggestions and "want list".

Avantages

It is easy to use and saves a lot of time. We are able to manage several use cases in one software

Inconvénients

The native app is a good idea, but not yet developed enough for business use outside

Avantages

The customer support is exceptional! The different modules are very intuitive to learn. The standardized data base fields can be complemented with additional customized fields. The statistic section helps us to track our projects and improve reporting to the management.

Inconvénients

In the material data base you currently have to decide, if an exhibit is for rental or for sale. If you want to rent and sell a product you need to create two items.

All the materials have to be stored in the same warehouse.

Avantages

- CSV export and import
- Clear and logical way to handle a project
- It is easy expandability by your short time extra needs
- No need to have some internal server systems for this in the company

Inconvénients

This software is made for project and equipment controlling, time to time I would like to have some more options to control this through economical information. But as I have been told this will get some new possibilities in the next versions, that will help us out in most cases.

Avantages

Goed inzicht van de verhuurde producten, waardoor het overzichtelijk is wanneer je iets wilt doorverhuren

Inconvénients

Grootste nadeel aan dit programma is, dat het niet offline te gebruiken is. Wanneer de server eruit ligt bij Rentman, is heel het programma uit de lucht. Ons bedrijf draait groot en deels op Rentman, dus als je dan de planning en voorraad niet meer kunt bekijken is dit best kritiek op drukke dagen

Avantages

Easy to use cloud software that links with all freelancers.

Inconvénients

Migration from (I think it was) v3 to v4

Avantages

The customer service and support team are amazing! We were honestly a bit skeptical going in with the software being based in a different country but I can honestly say I have never had this level of support for software before. All the guys are great!

Inconvénients

The Only thing we find a little annoying is it can be a little slow to find items in the data base when scanning QR codes via the app. They are always upgrading and making things better so I'm certain this wont be an issue for the long term.

Avantages

Das Produkt ist gut zu bedienen, ich kann jederzeit die Werte anpassen. Für unser Anforderungen ist es das Perfekte Programm. Wenn ich eine Frage habe kann ich mich jederzeit an den Support wenden, und das Problem wir dann auch bearbeitet und gelöst.

Inconvénients

Wir haben vorher mit Exeltabellen gearbeitet und es war nicht sehr schwierig das Produkt in unsere Geschäftsprozesse zu intrigieren. Klar braucht man am Anfang eine Zeit bis man mit dem Produkt vertraut ist und alles eingerichtet hat, aber man kann ja auch an einer Schulungen teilnehmen.

Avantages

-support is extremely good
-software is easy to learn and teach others
-searching for data is instant
-facility to add tags, filters and tasks throughout makes it customisable for all users
-easy to customise system templates
-project templates easy to set-up and speed up creating new projects for account managers
-customers digitally sign their quotations and confirm the projects
-crew planner module has planned 60+ full time and freelance technical staff without a hitch
-communication flow right through the project for all involved to view
-full time staff have project information to hand on their smartphone through the app
-equipment failures are scanned on-site direct into the repairs module by the technicians
-software is constantly evolving along with industry feedback

Inconvénients

-mobile scanning not yet available, this will be helpful rolling over scanned equipment on-site, from one project to another

Avantages

Einfache und logische Handhabung für die ersten Schritte zum Kommissionieren und Disponieren.

Inconvénients

Ich habe immer wieder kleine Probleme bei den Formularen, der Vergabe der Rechnungsnummern (werden bei mir nicht mehr automatisch vergeben), Mahnungen erstellen unter Berücksichtigung von Teilzahlungen, das Rechnungsjournal addierte bei älteren Versionen die monatlichen Umsätze (das hätte ich gerne wieder)

Avantages

The fact the software is online and used in a browser is its strongest point. It means access from any computer with internet is possible, even with a slow internet connection. The output quality is also excellent.

Inconvénients

The transfer from rentman 3G to 4G has been quite a long process and is still not fully completed, which as a rentman user is annoying, as you can see the new workspace but it is inpractical to use as certain functions have not yet been tansferred.

Avantages

The integration of invoicing and inventory management is the best of the software we have used, and the customization of document templates allows us to provide our clients with professional documents with exactly the right amount of information.

Inconvénients

There are some features that need work on kit and case building but with that said the rentman team are continually listening to the end user and implementing requests.

Avantages

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.

Avantages

Having all the gear ordered and organized, availability and being able to Invoice straight from a quotation

Inconvénients

Changing some of the presentations and designs. Setting the dates sometimes does not work perfect. The order of the Invoices when we want to update the payments or searching by our own quotation number does not work.

Avantages

the support from the great team of employers! thank you for help whit questions and any stuff we call in. :-)

Inconvénients

We need some features in the app, and RFID-tag in the software, but hope it to come.

Avantages

The Rentman web interface is fast even on a slow internet connection.
I can customize the access level of each user, which is great for part-time and freelance employees.
I can customize forms myself.
Inventory supports kits, resale items and sub-hire.
Customer database allows for multiple contacts under one organization.
Rentman combines the best features of a CMA, Inventory Control system, and Project Management suite in one place.

Avantages

I like the features and how intelligent Rentman software is. Support is outstanding, and the service is very reliable (haven't had one problem since joining). Telephone support is available as well as a torrent of on-line how-to's. They even have a youtube channel with training sessions. Company is very well managed, and we love the software.

Inconvénients

There is a learning curve to every piece of software. Rentman is no exception. The software has a lot of advanced features and it takes time to learn how to use those features.

Avantages

The ease of use and the extensive possibilities of the platform

Inconvénients

We really miss an automatic Rentman import function for our website. It would be great to have a feature to create a schedule (e.g. every day at 1600 hours) to update the website stock with the Rentman stock.

Avantages

We use Rentman a lot of years and its a great software, flexible and innovative

Inconvénients

We have no cons about this software, Rentman is our base of the company.

Avantages

I love the scheduling and temp equipment features. Asset management can be handled several different ways for whatever fits your preference.

Inconvénients

Wish there was an easier way to process payments within the software.

Avantages

Everything is easy to use, you can use it with other software like Exact Online. The overview is clear so you don’t have to search for a function

Inconvénients

I missed a lot with the mobile app and some functions for the employees. If they have some declaration i have to do with the other software or if they want some day off or vacation you can’t do with the app

Avantages

Very easy to use and quick to learn. Great that technicians and freelancers can log in to view their schedules and view info for the job. Saves a lot of time explaining planning and managing gear, techs and transportation. Whenever there are issues or questions, customer support is very quick to respond.

Inconvénients

Editing the templates can be difficult. The software is great to manage your rental but for the sales part of the business there could be improvements.

Avantages

- makkelijk in gebruik
- overzichtelijk
- duidelijkheid in 1 oogopslag

Inconvénients

- ben niets tegen gekomen. Ik en mijn team zouden juist nog meer gebruik moeten gaan maken van de verschillende features om echt het meeste uit deze software te halen.

Avantages

nothing in special, but just makes by event planning easier

Inconvénients

to be honest nothing. it does the job for me.

Avantages

Compared to other rental AV software managers out there, this program is the easiest and cleanest I’ve used. The cloud is a great addition

Inconvénients

Like every other rental AV program, some things take a little work around to really use but this is one of the better options out there!

Avantages

In the system you can form sets and cases, and add complementary items, such as cables, possible add-ons and so on. This makes it easy to create a quotation, plus a complete packing list. Other benefits of the software: QR-funcionality, easy to use webshop module, digital signatures on quotations, interaction with administration software, easy planning module, automatic backup, smartphone app... it is a complete system for the rental market!

Inconvénients

is there something I do'nt like...? Can't think of anything... well, we receive an invoice each month, but it is much lower than our previous system with much less possibilities, so no complaint about that either!

Avantages

I like that the serviceteam is open for changes when we ask for it, and the automation when booking.
The serviceteam is quick to answer and help us through teamweaver.

Inconvénients

i would like to have the chance to automatic book a flightcase for a given amount of equipment, for example a case of 6 flatpars, nice to have the chance to take one or two in a bag, but six in a flight

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

Für meine Kaufentscheidung war hauptsächlich ausschlaggebend, das ich Projektvorlagen erstellen kann, da wir sehr häufig mit immer wiederkehrenden Setups arbeiten und ich somit sehr schnell ein Angebot erstellen kann.

Inconvénients

Manche Einschränkungen sind nicht nachvollziehbar. Es gibt Funktionen, die an manchen Stellen nicht verfügbar sind. Ist für mich nicht nachvollziehbar, wenn es eine Funktion gibt, sollte sie doch auch an allen Stellen zur Verfügung stehen.
Und das Personal- und Transportmodul (Standardfunktionen) bedarf für meine Wünsche noch eine deutliche Verbesserung. Hier sind viele bekannte Funktionen gar nicht vorhanden (eigene Ordnerstruktur erstellen, Filter setzen etc.).

Avantages

Cloud based, calendar synchronization, webshop link, E-invoicing, personalized templates with layout customization, automatic transport calculation, online approval of quotes and contracts, Mollie payment module, ...

Inconvénients

Personnel planning and vehicle planning can be merged and need improvement for use from the dashboard to add and search projects, view in the dashboard, or a project already partially or completely paid, feedback from an external accounting program, contacts To put on or block on outstanding invoices, can set credit line

Avantages

Online, Bearbeitung überall möglich, einfache Handhabung

Avantages

Easy to use and to educate to the team. Implementation support and daily support is fast and helps our processes moving forward adequately.
Data maintenance is very friendly and fast (Items, crew, contacts)
Easy to understand template editor. Not the most extensive but covers most of the needs

Inconvénients

Import features can be more extensive for users of other programs how consider switching application.
Multi language level needs improvement to be real multi lingual.
2FA is an important missing part for cyber insurance application.
The purchasing module is a important missing link.

Avantages

The supporting team which is always ready to customize some thing and to help you to tailor the product with your specific needs.

The help note balloons during the operations, they are not so visible and when some make a mistake he realize this afterwards.

The comprehensive approach to the entire rental process and ability to customize the application to your needs.

Inconvénients

There are some features that is lacking which I would love to see in future updates.

Avantages

It is very easy to make changes when clients decide more or other things. This program saves me a lot of time if I compare to the one I had before.

I had troubles installing it with parallel desktop but once installed it worked fine. Now I can easily switch from apple to windows.

Avantages

Easy to use, works on most platforms and cloud based. Easy access through the mobile app.

Inconvénients

Setting up a new project can take a while but i guess it’s on us to learn all the short cuts.

Avantages

Wir nutzen seit gut 4 Jahren Rentman täglich. Die Cloudbasierte Lösung und dahingehend der einfache Zugriff von überall aus erleichtert vieles. Zudem ist der einfache Workflow von Angebotserstellung über das Packen/Laden im lager bis hin zur Rechnungserstellung besonders hervorzuheben.

Inconvénients

Es wäre wünschenswert wenn alle Funktionen, welche in den neuen Verträgen implementiert werden auch zeitnah den "alten" zur Verfügung gestellt werden (z.b. Nachverfolgbarkeit über Änderungen in Projekten)

Avantages

Intuitives Arbeiten, Kalenderexport funktioniert tadellos
perfekter Support

Inconvénients

Faktorisierung des Personals
Würde gerne bei Personalanlage festlegen ob dieses Personal Tages- oder Stundenpreise hat

Avantages

Ist a ready software. With some small adjustments you can start working with the software. Second where you have internet you can work with it.

Inconvénients

The delivery adres has always to be a new client input. It is not possible to put a adres as one time. So what I mean we have catering companies as our clients. We deliver for them to their clients. Mostly one time addresses and we have to put those adres in our systeem.

Avantages

Easy to use. good overview. many very good features. frequent updates with new features

Inconvénients

that it is avaible via browser and can be used all over the world with an internet connection

Avantages

The flexibility and how easy to use, don't need to be IT technician to change items or whatever.
And there is a good helpdesk service.

Inconvénients

Need to be connected with the internet, and if internet connection is slow or bad, you feel it when you work online, and in bad case the internet connection fall out, so you lose connection.

Avantages

The overall usability of the product and the in-depth functions. And all the different methods to setup projects.

Inconvénients

The amount of clicking to set up different functions.

many programs are well done, but the persons behind rentman, especially the support, ist really excellent and helpful, so you get most out of the software

Inconvénients

the bagatelle what I am missing is already in the roadmap, so I am absolutely happy

Avantages

Great product for a small business or for a single user.

Inconvénients

On the new version (4G), you cannot manage data privacy per user. It means that all users have access to all data, offers, invoices, conditions even prices.
Dear colleagues, don’t you never get angry with a Freelancer, you may have surprises.

Notice that this problem is not a priority for them because we would be 15 users out of 1700 to talk about it

Avantages

The ability to easily see if certain items are available or not for a certain period of time. Takes a few clicks only to get a project up and running.

warehouse module feels a bit complicated
