Overview

Rentman’s Equipment Scheduling module offers a real‑time, timeline‑based view of equipment availability so teams can confidently plan gear for projects without facing double bookings or inventory shortages. It streamlines resource scheduling at a serial‑number level, supports automatic shortage detection and resolution, and helps optimize stock across multiple warehouses and jobs.

Features and Capabilities

• **Visibility & Booking: **View equipment availability on a timeline and instantly book gear for projects—preventing double bookings and warehouse misunderstandings.
• **Serial‑Number Tracking: **Schedule and track equipment by individual serial numbers to avoid duplication and track item movement accurately.
• **Shortage Management: **Automatically highlight impending shortages and allow users to propose alternative items or subrent from different locations to fulfill demand.
• **Warehouse Inventory Coordination: **Check availability across multiple warehouses, move items between locations, and ensure gear is where it’s needed when it’s needed.
• **Flexible Time Scheduling: **Differentiate between times when gear is reserved vs. charged, allowing flexible project schedules (e.g. loading, build, transport, teardown).
• **Combinations & Bundles: **Create virtual or physical equipment bundles (e.g. camera kits with lenses/cables) and ensure they’re scheduled together logically.
• **Reporting & Analytics: **Data insights on usage, costs, depreciation and subrentals help inform purchasing and maximize ROI.
• **Integration & Scalability: **Seamlessly integrate with crew scheduling, quoting/invoicing, CRM and other modules—all within Rentman’s Operations Management platform.
