Willem K.: Hi, I'm Willem. I work as a camera equipment rental manager in the film equipment rental industry, and I think EZRentOut is an easy five out of five. Before we used EZRentOut we were tracking all of our gear, purchases, assets and just scheduling all through spreadsheets, through Airtable and then doing payments through QuickBooks, and then physically doing our own sticker system. So we had three separate systems tracking the same gear, and it was just, I found myself double entering. Every time someone would come in to rent something, I'd have to make sure it's available and manually scroll through all the reservations. And then if it was available, then I'd have to go into a different program, QuickBooks, and actually submit the invoices. It was a pain hunting down people, getting people to pay things. The payments weren't always synced up with the asset management tracking. The scheduling was running a completely different software. We were just all over the place. We chose to use EZRentOut because it combined scheduling, payments and asset management, all in one place so that we didn't have to bounce around between different programs to run our company. It all funneled into one easy to use place. Onboarding into EZRentOut was actually a breeze. They gave us a two week trial to test it, see how things would go. And it was actually really simple to be able to export out the CSV file of listing all of our assets, ingest them into EZRentOut, and then immediately start doing rentals, payments, all within a few days. If you're considering using EZRentOut, I highly recommend using their trial period, but also communicating with them. EZRentOut does act. Their support is incredible. We've requested features. We've talked through bugs and it's very much a back and forth. They're actively monitoring their emails and their support system. So we're able to make recommendations based on our business on things that we'd want to see in EZRentOut and it's made it an incredibly powerful tool. So use the trial, upload your assets, and then just give it a try. And it's worth your time.
