As a fan of Harvest, I find that working with Harvest forecast is just as easy to use. This is a great tool for anyone who doesn't have a forecaster built into their project management software.
The product has many fundamental flaws. For example, if you charge a deposit for a project via Forecast, it doesn’t actually credit the deposit against completed work.
I use this daily for scheduling projects and forecasting who will be available to work on what in the company. This is a great price of software...the subtle micro-interactions are a nice touch.
That also means we can prevent time collisions for project planning purposes and figure out where we went wrong if timelines are missed.
Overall, it's a very helpful tool that keeps our business running. I think it's a great tool and would recommend to others.
We use Forecast with Harvest to suck in projects and schedule the work our creatives will be working on. It serves as a pipeline so we know who's busy and who's got capacity.
Being able to sort and filter by different criteria makes it super simple to like at Product teams, functional teams, offices, etc. the visibility we've gained with a Forecast has been a game changer.
Both Forecast and Harvest are good - but the integration is horrible.
Perfect price for much software with a good usability and a really perfect personal support.
Notice that this problem is not a priority for them because we would be 15 users out of 1700 to talk about it.
Easy to use, outstanding customer support, great overview of projects and equipment, implementation of 3rd party software, great scanning implementation.
Missing a few integral features of some other rental platforms that we've used. Particularly when working between multiple warehouses / locations.
Great for my smaller-sized rental team. Value (monthly rate) fantastic when compared to some other competitors in this field.
No possibility for undoing anything. Be carefull when you delete something.
Can do almost anything you can think of and world's best costumer service. Very good at implementing new suggestions from users.
First of all we solved the equipment availability problem.
Willem: Hi, my name's Willem and I'm a video producer and I would rate Rentman a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click down below. Before using Rentman, we'd been using spreadsheets. We'd tried another software called Easy Rent Out. And the difficulty we kept running into was just the robustness and the amount of features that it was able to offer. The scheduling that Rentman offers is second to none. And it was built by people that understood the rental market and the equipment management. And you know how sometimes the system, there's a workaround for everything within the system, if you need to do something last minute. And there's several different ways to accomplish the same task. So whatever method fits your boat, they've got one for it. The reasons we chose Rentman was that we were able to customize a lot of our documentation that we sent out to our clients. We were able to write our own verbiage, include our own hyperlinks. That just made it so that it was a little more personal when we would send communication back and forth. It also allowed us to use better check in, checkout systems and to maintain assets, update, to make changes to inventory and keep track of things a lot better. So when we were getting started, like all new softwares, it took a little bit of getting used to with Rentman, but their support is really top notch. They're really quick to respond and they come out with updates pretty frequently if you ever run into bugs or have questions or issues. And they've got a pretty extensive video training series that really got our team up and going. If you're considering Rentman, give it a trial. Call them up, have them walk you through how the software works, how to implement it with your business and give it a go. Try all the different features, dive into the different settings. And if there's something that you don't quite know, just let them know, and they can either point you to how to do it or work on getting that system implemented into the new catalog of features.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
