Current RMS vs RentKit

Current RMS is cloud software for managing equipment rentals in the AV, production, event and party rental industries. Its availability engine calculates how much stock is available now and in the future, while asset tools track bulk inventory or serialized items and create barcode and QR code labels. A rental-focused CRM organizes customer and colleague interactions, activities, tasks and email discussions. Teams can send branded proposals and rental documents for online approval, comments and digital signatures, and manage deposits and part invoices while the system calculates the remaining balance. Accounting integrations with Xero, QuickBooks Online and Sage Business Cloud support posting invoices and credit notes and recording payments. The product also lists integrations including TeamTrack, PATGuard Cloud, Arrivy and HubSpot Data Sync, and offers an open API for customer-built integrations. It runs on Android, iOS and the web. The First User plan is $79 a month; each additional user is $49 a month. A 30-day trial requires no card details.

RentKit is paid event-rental software for inventory, invoicing, delivery routes, mobile crews, and QuickBooks synchronization. Its availability calculations include the full rental period, turnaround time, and bundle components. An embeddable catalog supports live availability, delivery fees, discount codes, blackout dates, wishlists, and checkout. Route planning handles time windows, truck capacity, driver assignments, grouping, stop splitting, and live GPS tracking. Native Android and iOS apps cover order preparation, route execution, photos, signatures, time clocks, and payment on delivery. RentKit supports deposits, payment links, field card readers, and real-time QuickBooks Online and Desktop sync. WordPress, Shopify, and direct HTML embed integrations are listed. The software targets tent, party, and event-rental businesses, including operators of tables, inflatables, trailers, AV, and heavy equipment. The RentKit plan is $99 a month and includes two users. Payment processing is additional: 3.5% + $0.30 through Stripe, 3.0% + $0.25 in-house, or ACH at 1% + $0.50.
