Why is it so hard to keep your business profitable?

No central place to monitor performance.

The information you need to monitor costs and performance of your business is scattered across tools, spreadsheets, and people.

Forecasts built on guesswork

Spreadsheet forecasts are hard to trust, and when unexpected costs come up, you only find out when it's too late.

No visibility when budgets are surpassed.

There's no way to know a project is going over budget until the damage is done and the impact on your margins has already happened.

Problems only surface at year end

Without ongoing visibility, corrective actions only get identified when going through year-end financials.

Stop fighting with your financial tools.

You’re juggling spreadsheets, accounting software, and siloed project tools. There’s a better way.

AV & Event Production

AV production companies operate on tight margins with high labor costs. Projects involve 20+ freelancers, sub-hired gear, and multi-venue logistics. Rentman gives AV company owners and operations directors full financial visibility on every job.

Automate overtime calculations for A1s, V1s, riggers, and stagehands — the largest variable expense in AV production.

Party & Event Rental

When you run 40 simultaneous rentals, the challenge isn’t operations — it’s knowing which ones make money. Rentman gives event rental company owners per-project profitability visibility, integrated invoicing, and margin analytics.

See estimated vs. actual costs per project — equipment, delivery, setup labor, sub-rentals — updated in real time.
Sync invoices with QuickBooks, Exact Online, or Xero. Payment statuses update automatically.
Identify which event types and rental packages generate the highest margins — and which to reprice.

Persona slider

Built for

Broadcast & Media Production

Broadcast productions run on tight budgets with multi-supplier equipment and freelance crews. When budget tracking lives in a producer’s spreadsheet, cost overruns stay invisible until wrap. Rentman gives producers and company owners project-level financial control.

Maintain a live budget view per production: serialized equipment costs, crew day rates, and supplier charges in one place.
Track asset costs at the serial number level. Know whether sub-renting or purchasing makes more financial sense over time.
Generate financial reports per production, client, or period to identify your most profitable relationships.

Frequently asked questions

Get quick answers about features, setup & more.

Rentman’s financial tab compares estimated costs against actuals on every project — covering equipment, crew, sub-rentals, and transport. When changes happen, costs recalculate automatically. You spot budget overruns while there’s still time to act, not after the invoice is sent.

Event budget tracking software monitors all costs on a project from quote to final invoice and compares them against the planned budget in real time. It’s built for CEOs and operations directors managing multiple simultaneous projects with different equipment, crew, and sub-rental costs.

The biggest margin risks are untracked overtime, unpriced scope changes, and invisible sub-rental costs. Rentman automates overtime calculations, recalculates costs when changes happen, and tracks sub-hired equipment at the project level — turning financial management into an ongoing advantage.

Yes. Rentman integrates directly with QuickBooks, Exact Online, and Xero, plus 7,000+ apps via API and Zapier. Invoices sync automatically and payment statuses update in real time — no manual transfers between systems.

Most event rental tools focus on inventory and bookings. Rentman connects inventory, crew scheduling, warehouse operations, and financial management in one platform. Key differentiators: real-time financial indicators per project, a Statistics module for forecasting, automated crew cost tracking, and native accounting integrations.

Yes. The Statistics module provides live dashboards tracking revenue, costs, and profitability across time periods, teams, and project types. Data comes from actual projects, not manual entries — so forecasts are grounded in real performance. No spreadsheet consolidation required.
