How does it work?
To understand how Rentman really works, it helps to understand projects.
A project is where you fit all the pieces of your planning, documents, and database information together into a rental event. This can be anything from a small-dry hire, or corporate occasion, to an international tour.
In a project, you manage every stage of your rentals from start to finish. From building a quote to planning crew and transport, booking equipment in and out, handling on-site events, and sending out an invoice.
To give you an idea, here is how you set up a rental from start to finish.
