Current RMS vs Sonderplan

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.

Sonderplan is resource planning software for scheduling people, rooms, and equipment. Users can create bookings, switch between timeline, calendar, and grid views, filter schedules, and detect resource clashes. The maker says it is designed for post-production firms and is also used by creative agencies, equipment rental companies, universities, and recording and film studios. It runs in the cloud in a modern browser as a progressive web app that can be downloaded to desktop and mobile devices. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows, alongside an API. Subscriptions are based on the number of users and resources, and additions are prorated until renewal. The Flexible subscription is shown as free, with a calculator price that varies by users and resources and monthly or annual options. A 30-day trial is available without a credit card. Sonderplan connects to more than 6,000 cloud tools through Zapier and includes a REST API and SAML 2.0 single sign-on at no additional cost.
