Rental Management Systems was the first software program available for the Audio-Visual Industry. It was originally designed to handle planning of hire. Throughout the years it has developed into a fully integrated management tool. Although other manufacturers have tried to develop similar software, Rental Management Systems has always been in its own class. Both speed and ease of use have never been surpassed.
Planning:
With RMS you can make calculations and reservations per day or for longer periods. Built-in calenders speed up data-entry. Planning checks and updates are performed instantly. Graphical planboards throughout the program give you quick answers to 'who/what/where'. On-screen details of reservations per customer, item or period.
Calculations:
With RMS you have several levels of discount. This ensures that all pricing methods can be included in the system. Besides hire-items, RMS calculates and plans your crew, transport, setup and breakdown activities. You can keep track of the progress of your jobs, including statistics.
Multisites:
RMS has a unique MultiSites capacity, where branches can share all information through the internet. RMS keeps track of both the total stock and the stock of each individual branch.
Easy to use:
RMS is very easy to use. All steps are ordered in a logical way, probably already in the way you are used to working now. Finders help you search through your database, no need to learn difficult codes.
Crew and transport planning:
RMS can be integrated with the Crew and Transport planner. This planner is capable of handling even the most complex scheduling situations and makes them managable. Thanks to new technologies, it is now possible to plan directly and interactively, with a few mouseclicks, rather than entering planning data into database-fields. Planning information may be published on a website, for crews to view.
Management assistant:
RMS also provides you valuable management information. Not only does it produce statistical views on turn-over per item or per customer, it will also show how many days an item has been out, and even how many times you had to subhire an item! All information is presented in clear reports, which may be modified for your specific needs, and may be exported to a spreadsheet like Excel. Also, there is the link-option, with which you can export information from RMS into an accounts system.
For various types of rental company:
Touring: This version is excellent for companies having large quantities of equipment out for longer periods. Together with the crew and Transport planner, it gives full control over all touring rentals.
Conference: For renting AV-equipment to conferences, hotels etc. This version focuses on aspects like keeping track of serial-numbers, short term rentals (even on an hourly basis is possible) and maintenance schedules.
Exhibition: Deals with the specific problems of exhibition rentals. Easier pricing schemes (pricing for the exhibition period, rather than per day) and project-management to oversee all jobs for a given exhibition are some of the features of this version.
Demo-stock: Designed for manufacturers and sales organisations wishing to handle demo-stocks.
