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.
