Operations platform for event and media productions
Rental webshop with one plan
Rentman is made for companies that run productions: AV and event production, equipment rental for events, party rental with crew, media and broadcasting. A job is a project that runs from quote to planning to packing to invoice, with crew, transport and equipment on one timeline. Warehouse scanning, repairs, subrentals, shortage warnings and accounting links are all there. You pay a platform fee and then per planner for the parts you use.
Be-Bookable is built around one job: let customers book and pay for rental products online, and give you a clear overview of the orders that come in. There is one plan with every feature, unlimited products, orders and team members, and no commission. Crew planning, projects and RFID scanning are not part of it, and we say so in the table below.

Not in Rentman itself. Rentman connects to a WooCommerce plugin by a partner (€29 per month) or to a Shopify store. The plugin turns a booking into a rental request that your team confirms; Shopify can take direct payment. Customers can also accept and sign online quotes.
Rentman's own implementation guide plans 6 to 10 weeks for a tidy database, and 10 to 16 weeks when data needs cleaning. Be-Bookable: sign up, add products, connect Mollie, and your webshop is online the same day.
Crew and transport planning, projects, RFID warehouse scanning, repairs and subrentals, contracts with e-signatures, accounting links and an API. If you run productions, Rentman is the better fit.
