"If a camera breaks, I can create a repair on-site and my colleague at the workshop will be informed about the incoming work."
Manage camera equipment and flypacks
Professional cameras contain a combination of multiple equipment items. We offer extensive possibilities to bundle items together to have maximum flexibility. Never forget any accessories!
Assign and track equipment on serial number level
In Rentman you can plan and track each individual item by assigning serial numbers. This way, your crew always knows which item to pack, and you can keep a complete (repair) history of your gear.
Manage equipment across different broadcasting studios
Some of your equipment might be semi-permanently rigged in a studio and not be available for a production. With Rentman you can keep track of equipment across multiple locations. Get insights into what items are placed where.
Keep track of repairs
Your crew can easily report repairs and state all the details about their occurrence. This way, the repair/equipment manager is always aware of what needs to be done for each individual item, and you can prevent any availability conflicts for future projects.
Make sure equipment in OB vans is complete
An OB van usually has a basic setup that can be extended for a certain project. Make it clear to your crew which equipment should be added additionally, and make sure that fixed inventory is always installed in the truck.
Renting versus purchasing decisions
Are you in doubt whether to buy or rent specific equipment for a long-running project? Use reports in Rentman to make smarter purchase decisions.
Pre- and postproduction
Keep track of hours worked on pre- and postproduction and assign tasks that have to be done before the actual recording can start.
Work on productions abroad
Because Rentman makes it easy to plan on serial number level, you can easily generate transport documents (Carnets) for your productions in other countries.
Don’t let your expensive equipment stay untouched
It can take quite a long time to prepare a studio for a project. Use multiple timelines to fly in your most expensive equipment last. This way you have it available for other productions long before the last equipment comes out of the truck.
Create digital call sheets
Plan crew for a multi camera production and keep them in the loop by sending them your customized call sheets. You can also use the Rentman mobile app to make sure your crew is always up-to-date.
One system for small reservations and big projects
No broadcasting job is the same! Our clean interface facilitates both a quick reservation of a single camera or a bigger production with a lot of subrentals. No matter the production size, with Rentman you can manage all equipment availability from one place.
From concept to equipment list
Create a technical equipment list and make sure that all the right tools are planned that are needed for the project.
Always know if the project is on track
Specify requirements and deliverables. Assign tasks for the different phases of your project and keep track of worked hours and related activities.
Make sure all items are packed
Work together on fulfilling packing lists to make sure all needed equipment is packed and ready for the job. Use QR codes or RFID scanners to reduce errors and ensure no items are missing.
