Rental management for the AV, Events and Production industry

About Current RMS

Current RMS is a cloud-based rental management software designed to help businesses in the AV, broadcast, lighting, production & event sectors to manage the full rental lifecycle, from initial inquiries through to invoicing, with tools for inventory management, quote generation, customer relationship management, online quote approval, and more.

Current RMS enables users to track the availability and status of all their equipment in a single location, plan and schedule jobs, manage sub rents, trace lost equipment, and quarantine damaged stock. Users can define up to 4 levels of mandatory and optional accessories to be supplied with equipment, which can be used to ensure that required components are included with equipment when planning jobs. Barcode labels can be created and printed, enabling equipment to be checked in and out of the warehouse using a barcode scanner. Stock levels can be viewed across all products, and users can drill-down to resolve shortfalls, with shortage alerts to notify users of insufficient stock when planning jobs. Other bookable resources and services, such as rooms, venues, transport, and crew can be added to jobs, and charged for based on the hours, days, or distance required.

Custom quotes, proposals, rental agreements, and invoices can be generated in Current RMS, using built-in document templates and a drag-and-drop editor. Quotes can be sent out online for approval, with a unique URL allowing the client to view, download, accept or decline, and comment on the document. Integration with QuickBooks Online and Xero allows users to post invoices to their accounting system and view payments in real time. Current RMS also offers CRM capabilities, enabling users to store client contact details, orders, and job histories, with custom data fields, search functionality, and user action tracking.


Key benefits of Current RMS

  • Jobs can be scheduled weeks or months in advance on the built-in calendar, with automated reminders for upcoming scheduled tasks, and a full audit trail of all activities is generated automatically.

  • Barcode labels can be created to streamline the process of checking equipment in and out, and users can track the status and availability of each piece of equipment from any location or device.

  • Accessories can be created to link additional items to equipment, to ensure that mandatory components are included when planning jobs, and that sufficient accessory stock is available for each piece of equipment.

  • Services linked to jobs can also be managed, including venues, transport, and crew, with flexible charging options by duration or distance, availability management, and drag-and-drop resource allocation.

  • Custom proposals and quotes can be generated using built-in document templates, with drag-and-drop editing and the option to share documents online with clients, who can download, view, comment on, and accept or decline the quotation through a unique URL.

    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.

    Pros

    This allows you to do a lot of the things you need all from one screen. It is quick with the scans and organizes effectively.

    Cons

    A bit of a learning curve. Having to go to separate pages is annoying at times.

    Response from Current RMS

    Hi Roby, Thanks for taking the time to submit a review. Over the years I know we've had a lot of individual support conversations about enhancements you'd like adding to Current. It'd be great for us to get together and collate what features you'd like to see in priority order.

    If you can reach out to [email protected], we can direct you to the best team member to have a chat with.
