Very easy to use and simple to expand and contract as needed. No huge investments required. A few areas to keep improving. Hopefully the changes can keep up. Pros The software is easy to use and full of features. Really well suited to straightforward rentals and a small to medium business. Cloud based makes it excellent from a hardware requirements and access point of view. Cons There are areas that need more flexibility especially once you want to move away from the basic to anything more complex. It can be difficult to make it work to your own business rather than as per the original.

General Manager Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Enjoying our experience but room for improvement" March 12, 2024 4.0 Overall we are very happy with current-rms and the few cons are vastly outweighed by the pros of the system. It's a good fit for our company and it's been a pleasure to use for these past ~5 years. Pros The UI and UX on current-rms is fantastic and very intuitive. It's very easy for us to onboard new hires onto the system and the support materials and tutorials online are good. It has a good level of functionality for our needs and does almost everything we need to operate our business. The cloud based design is also very convenient and the ability to customize documents within the software ourselves is very appreciated. It is also great to see new features and improvements consistently implemented. It's a joy to use everyday! Cons My biggest area of frustration with current-rms are with the inventory checking module and functionality, while it does work it's very bare bones and when we do our annual inventory check it's constantly causing us headaches and we often have to use other tools simultaneously (spreadsheets, documents etc.) to properly keep track of where we are in the inventory check process. The way the inventory module is laid out makes it very difficult to look up the status of a specific item during an inventory check. My other frustration is the lack of custom reports, you can create custom fields and lists of values, however reporting on those is not possible, we had to hire an outside developer to implement a tool via the API in order to achieve the full functionality we needed for our business. The software would be pretty much perfect in my mind if it had a robust inventory checking module and the ability to do custom reporting.

The integrations with quickbooks and the open API were also selling features for us. Switched from [Studio Hero](https://www.capterra.com/p/210879/Studio-Suite/) Studio Suite's rental module was a frankenstein mess and when I started at the company one of my first priorities was to switch us to a more robust system that met all our needs and would allow us to grow in the future. Current-rms met those needs. Review Source RN Ritchard N. Technology Administrator Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Current-RMS was ok, rebranded OnRent Events is awful." September 10, 2026 2.0 Honestly wish we were using something else. Current-RMS was a little bit of a headache but the recently rebranded and re-skinned site is just... bad. Pros I actually miss Current-RMS vs the rebranded and worse looking OnRent Events site. Other than that I don't have a lot of positive things to say about live software that hasn't been cleaned up in what feels like two decades. Cons Convoluted. Poor documentation on roles and permissions with no info on the interactivity of multiple check forms. The latest rebrand somehow made everything look far worse and seemingly take extra steps. Alternatives considered [D-Tools Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/10011460/D-Tools-Cloud/) Reason for choosing Current RMS We're also using Dtools and would swap over completely if it had a few more features Review Source JC Jesse C. Managing Director Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our Experience with Current RMS" March 13, 2024 5.0 Current RMS has been great for us so far, but we make up for the lack of pretty key features like payment integration, and online booking with lots of hours of extra admin and processes that we'd love to see automated and integrated into Current, to make it streamlined for our customers and free us up to spend time improving our business rather than maintaining it by being buried under lots of computer time. Pros Current RMS provides our company with a great asset management tool and the necessary systems to ensure that stock is managed well by our team and delivered properly to our clients. Cons It would be great to see a credit card payment link integrated into the invoices produced by Current, much like Xero integrates a payment link using Stripe on the invoices it produces. This would reduce steps in the workflow for our administration team and reduce confusion with our customers. Currently we have to post an invoice in current and then generate another invoice in Xero to create a credit card payment link when our customers want to pay that way. Another issue that would be great to see resolved is part payments. When a customer pays a deposit and it is credited towards the invoice, it would be ideal if the next invoice that is generated automatically takes what has been paid and applies it to the invoice so that when the outstanding amount invoice is generated, it shows the amount left owing automatically. Currently it seems that it needs to be worked out manually. Another feature that we are desperate to see is website integration for online bookings. Currently we have a website that accepts equipment orders, then we get the order and have to manually add it to Current RMS. The issue is that customers can't check if the product is actually available before booking, can't book for multiple days and have to wait for us to check and confirm the order after we've manually done it on Current. We would gladly pay more for the service if this feature was integrated, much like what Booqable offers, but with the features that Current provides. Alternatives considered [RentalMan](https://www.capterra.com/p/130099/RentalMan-ERP/)[Booqable](https://www.capterra.com/p/138689/Booqable/) Reason for choosing Current RMS Referral from industry friends who use Current to manage their event businesses. Switched from [Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/) We needed more accurate asset management and check in and out processes to ensure stock is returned and managed properly, not being double booked etc. Review Source YE Yke E. Technical Director Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keep up the development. " March 21, 2024 4.0 Overall I am happy with Current-RMS. Stability is good. Support is Pros I like Current-RMS for rental, but what they do good is to make use of strong integration partners and not try to invent everything themselves. Cons There has been a long period of no development and new features. It seems to be picking up now. Some obvious functions are still not in there. They are on the 'under consideration' list but would love to see them released. Alternatives considered [Rentman](https://www.capterra.com/p/144616/Rentman/)[inspHire](https://www.capterra.com/p/86964/inspHire/) Reason for choosing Current RMS Current covered the most important features needed and the import and export functions are very open. Review Source MA Marlon A. General Maanger Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feedback of Current" April 25, 2024 5.0 Support is very good considering the time difference. Ease for a new user to get up and running Pros Ease of use. Licencing is fair in relation to other products. Cons Opportunities to invoice needs some work for the hospitality industry as client makes changes very often. New document process is very long winded. Can take up to 6-8weeks to have new documents developed hence we tend to stay away. Switched from [Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/) Very expensive and payment by module. Version changes were like a new licence Review Source NW Neil W. Everything Director Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Current\_RMS, Best Rental Software EVER!!" March 14, 2024 5.0 Best!! wish i met them sooner. always warm and friendly. Pros EVERYTHING, including the staff. keep saying, i wish i met CRMS sooner!! Cons cant think of anything at the moment. fear of cost cutting, effecting the product in the process. Reason for choosing Current RMS Gave them a try and also, they did free document design.

Executive Assistant Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Best Rental Software to date" April 9, 2024 5.0 Pros I like this software because I find it easy to use and the customer service is very efficient. If I am unsure on how to do something and I contact Current via their online chat, I usually get a response almost straight away. Previous rental softwares that I have used over the years have not had this option and it caused a lot of frustration. Cons We do permanent installations which involves a lot of sale items. The process for booking items out are treated the same as rental i.e. book out, check in, finalise check in. It would be good if the system could identify a sale as not requiring check in. Switched from [HireHop](https://www.capterra.com/p/155333/HireHop/) I found HireHop to be less user friendly. I didn't like the layout either Review Source Response from Current RMS April 19, 2024 Hi Alison, Thanks for your lovely feedback! Your thoughts around sale items automatically being marked as sold as soon as it's been booked out is very good feedback. When we initially designed this, we allowed check-in for those businesses that put 10 consumable items out on an order, but perhaps only 8 were sold/used and 2 were returned, and this is what the check-in process allows. However, we understand there's lots of businesses that don't want that extra step. I've submitted this to our product management team as a potential development quick win and our team will have a discussion on what's entailed to make this change. DL Daron L.

Great Team. Pros I get to chat with everyone who is available on any daily questions. Cons Nothing. It helps get my job done. All of the Current Techs are always available via chat right on the software to help me. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) The company switched, and we had a small learning curve, then we were up and running. Review Source SJ Sarah J. Production Manager Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to implement software" March 7, 2024 5.0 Overall, happy with the software. The only times we've had struggles, it was down to us needing more training rather than the system itself. Pros 30 day trial - Full ability to try the software before making a commitment to it The price includes YouTube videos and live zoom sessions The support team gave me import templates to easily upload my equipment Not locked into any contracts Can access the system on mobile whilst out on the road Ability to speak to the support team instantly on the phone Cons There's been a couple of times I haven't had the response I wanted from support, but when I escalate this, the senior members of the team are very knowledgeable and happy to help. Alternatives considered [HireHop](https://www.capterra.com/p/155333/HireHop/) Reason for choosing Current RMS There was more self-serve content available for us to implement the software ourselves Review Source MK Mark K. Managing Director Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ever evolving software solution." April 4, 2017 5.0 Current is a great product that has been working really well for us. Since we started with Current over 2 years ago we have seen it evolve. As a result of this when a new feature is released it needs to be managed within your organisation as some will use it in a different way than you might. Any process you may have developed before any new feature release that carries out the same function may need to have its migration managed. It is a moving feast and as such needs to be managed for this reason only I give it 4 for ease of use. Pros Cloud based and evolving. Excellent Support. Cons Because it evolves your processes need to as well. Sometimes there is just not the time to do this and it can lead to different work practices within the organisation. Review Source Response from Current RMS April 5, 2017 Hi Mark, Thanks for your review and advice - we love the title, Current is indeed ever evolving. A lot has been added into Current since launch back in September 2014, which is close to when you came onboard. However all new features added into Current are carefully considered so that they don't disrupt existing processes if companies are not ready to take advantage of new updates. As we appreciate every business experiences different demands. I hope we were able to provide you with some useful guidance on the telephone today regarding further streamlining processes across the team, ensuring everyone is working in the same manner. Using Recent Actions and Recent Documents within Current is really beneficial as you can check to ensure everyone is working in the same way. Also, please remember all support and training is part of the package so if you decide to change a process or need to provide training on new features, we're here to help with that.

This program has everything: inventory, booking, invoicing… Amazing Cons To change some forms its a little dificult until you get the hang of it. Review Source BM Brian M. owner Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great application" March 12, 2024 5.0 I wouldn't be without a booking software after coming from a paper based system. Pros Current RMS Keeps track of our up coming bookings and quoting and equipment booked out. Cons Have the occasional trouble getting quotes through heavily firewalled company's I.e. Hospitals etc. Reason for choosing Current RMS It was recommended by others in the industry. Review Source RG Ross G. Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Modern, Delightful Rental Management System" January 18, 2017 5.0 After years (years!) of researching and being disappointed by many other rental management tools on the market, finding Current RMS felt like a breath of fresh air. Current RMS is a modern, beautiful system that has streamlined our business. We spend much of the year traveling, so a cloud-based system is key for us, and Current delivers on this front. Any Internet-connected device (computer, tablet, or phone) can be used to access all functionality of the system. Yes, this means that the speed of the software is subject to the speed of your Internet connection, but I've found Current to still be snappier than other rental management systems that must be accessed via VNC connections. Plus, Current's responsive layout automatically adjusts to the size of your screen. One of the strengths of Current is the excellent customer service. The staff are friendly, personable, and eager to continually improve the software based on customer feedback. While other rental management software companies seem to penalize customers for asking for help, the team at Current RMS is always available and easy to get a hold of. Current prevents details from slipping through the cracks, and has enabled us to deliver our signature customer service and attention to detail across larger and simultaneous events. In the first year using it, Current RMS helped our rental revenue grow 60%. The software is delightful to use and the team at Current have been a joy to work with. Review Source Response from Current RMS January 19, 2017 It's safe to say, all the team at Event Wave Productions are an absolute pleasure to work with!

Director Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SImple setup and easy to implement with no upfront cost" September 14, 2016 5.0 Before we started using Current-RMS most rental systems wanted a site license and server with a large initial outlay. Current-RMS enabled us to get a better system going without that up front cost and a simple per user pricing model. Easy to use, links into our Xero accounts system easily and now with an API so we can start integrating with our website. Great support from the team. Pros Ease of implementation and use. Cons Availability calendar not currently possible to embed in client facing website but new API may now allow customisation. Review Source Response from Current RMS September 15, 2016 Thanks for your great feedback James. You can indeed access product availability information in client facing websites using our new API.

This will save me so much time and help me to become super organised. Just amazing.\[sensitive content hidden\] was helpful from start to finish. His knowledge of the system was perfect and he helped to talk me through all elements clearly and professionally. He took the time to really understand how I needed to use the system, and then carefully talked me through each stage. A real asset to the company.

Sales and marketing manager Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent product all round" January 18, 2017 5.0 As a company we tested several RM systems and the benchmark was how they compared to CURRENT. Great functionality and easy to use. The service the CURRENT team provide is second to none and very receptive to onward development. The system has allowed us to streamline the rental process and the ability to clone past events is very useful. Being a cloud based system is also useful as staff are able to log in with ease at home and on site. As for price point, you get a premium product for much less then expected. Pros Great functionality, support and price. Cons We are still trying to find the negative points!

If I ever have a problem their response rate and helpfulness is 2nd to none, real down to earth useful people!
