Running a party rental & catering business is stressful. You need to plan the logistics of events, share details with your customers and make sure that your inventory is rotating correctly.
Control all of these steps in one place with Rentman to help you save time, make better predictions for future events, and increase customer satisfaction!
Rentman helps us to work more effectively by reducing the time needed to schedule our equipment, crew, and vehicles over different events.
Spend less time communicating with your customers by giving them a complete view of your product range and the ability to choose and reserve items directly from your website.
Use pre-built templates to automatically fill orders with relevant information (like delivery costs, delivery times...), then generate and send custom quotes to your customers.
Many events require the same types of resources. With project templates, you can easily add recurring information, times, and costs to save time on planning and communication.
Just fill in the starting date of an event and handle orders in minutes.
Let your customers choose their preferred payment method, whether it's B2B or B2C, and receive payments instantly.
Digital payments in Rentman make it easier and quicker for your customers to pay you. When a payment is made, the status of your invoice gets updated automatically.
Quote your food, drinks, and other consumables based on a price per item and only invoice your customers for what they’ve used.
Consumables that are returned to your warehouse after an event can easily be subtracted from your customer’s invoice and re-added to your Rentman stock.
Unfortunately, items like glasses often don't make their way back to your warehouse.
After an event, quickly check how many glasses are missing or damaged, decide if you should charge your customer on the invoice, and take them out of stock.
In the party & catering industry, you often deal with many orders and deadlines at the same time. It can be challenging to plan and keep track of multiple deliveries happening on the same day. The last thing that you want is to have angry customers because their orders were not delivered on time.
In Rentman, you can easily avoid this by combining trips and finding the optimal delivery route. The software even calculates the total volume of your orders and lets you know which vehicle you should use for your trip, so you no longer need to guess if an order can fit in one vehicle.
Use our drag and drop function to create and manage deliveries to make sure that your orders get delivered in the most efficient way while taking deadlines into account.
The total volume of your orders is calculated automatically, so you will always know which vehicle you should use for each trip. It is even possible to create packages in Rentman when you are used to packing and transporting items together. This makes sure that all of your volume calculations are correct and that you optimize the space in your vehicles.
Use our API to connect your logistics software (Routetitan, PTV, etc.) with Rentman and find the best routes for your deliveries. Monitor vehicles and upcoming trips in a single view, and use the drag-and-drop function to allocate the appropriate vehicles to trips.
Adding images to your documents helps your customers to get an idea of the products that you are renting to them and saves you hours of back and forth communication. This can especially be useful when you have multiple types of the same item (like chairs).
Bundle items together that are often sold/rented together or that you would like to offer in a package. Think of a table and bench set (one table, two benches) that you usually rent out together but could also be rented out separately.
Rentman allows you to handle incoming orders quickly, with the use of templates, automatic email responses and the possibility to send out quotes directly from the software. By managing all steps of the planning process from one single platform, managing incoming orders has never been easier.
With Rentman you’ll have a complete overview of where your inventory is located at all times. Seeing which items have already been scanned and packed allows for easy collaboration with your fellow warehouse crew.
When renting out items, you need to be flexible, as extra items are often added at the last minute. In Rentman you can easily add additional invoice lines on the go, register deposits, and see if deposits have been returned.
With the Rentman mobile app, your crew will be able to receive notifications on the go. Employees can be kept up to date about new instructions or last minutes changes.
We know the ins and outs of the event industry. We know what can go wrong and what is important when planning the logistics of an event.
Instead of using multiple platforms to plan an event, you now only need one. Communicating with your crew, assigning the right transportation, logging damaged equipment or creating quotes and managing payments can all easily be done with Rentman.
Reduce time and costs by connecting Rentman to a web shop and let your customers order online. Present your products visually on your quotes to give your customer an idea of what the event will look like.
With Rentman you save time on communication and never lose track of which items were lost after an event.
