Managing freelancers shouldn't be stressful.

Double-bookings

It’s too easy to book the same technician twice when calendars and spreadsheets don't talk to one another. Mistakes happen, and they impact your bottom line.

Last-minute scrambles

The show is tomorrow, and you’re still short on hands. Sending frantic texts begging people to help isn't a reliable strategy.

Blind spots in your schedules

Your crew availability is stuck in calendars and static spreadsheets. You can see names, but you have no real insight into who is available, who is fully booked, or where there are overlaps.

Implementation delays slow your team down

Your existing software took months to set up, didn't sync with your other tools, and required weeks of training. By the time it was ready, you still managed crew schedules in spreadsheets because it wasn't built for how you actually work.

Rentman brings clarity when managing your crew.

Here is how our platform eliminates your headaches and puts you in control of your crew.

Spot double bookings

The Crew planner timelines instantly show conflicts. See exactly who is available and who’s already booked before you schedule someone for a job.

Skip the back-and-forth follow-ups

Send invitations that freelancers can accept instantly via the mobile app. It’s faster for them, and easier for you.

See a complete overview of availability and open jobs

No more jumping between different apps. See every job that needs to be filled, availability, and crew skills in one centralized view.

Frequently asked questions

Get quick answers about features, setup & more.

Yes. Rentman syncs with Google Calendar, so your crew's shifts automatically show up in their personal calendar. They see their Rentman schedule in the same place they check everything else.

Your freelance crew members can download the app and use it for free. They just need your invitation to access their shifts and schedule. You pay for the account, they get access at no cost.

Spreadsheets get outdated fast and don't send notifications when things change. With Rentman, your crew gets instant updates on their phone, you can see who accepted a shift in real time, and everything stays current. Plus, you save time by not managing spreadsheet versions and by not chasing crew to confirm they got the schedule.

You get unlimited free basic accounts for crew members. Only planners and managers need paid user accounts. This means your entire freelancer network can access the mobile app at no additional cost.

Yes, you can! You’ll need an Excel or .csv file, and you can use our template to get started. Simply follow the instructions in the Crew members module.
