Hire businesses need more than bookings. Point of Rental helps you manage a broad set of inventory, grow revenue, and scale without limits, while Current RMS is built primarily for AV and events.
Current RMS: A good fit if you’re a small-to-mid event, AV, or production hire company looking for a simple, cloud-based system.
Point of Rental: Built for all hire businesses, from tools to tents to heavy equipment. It scales with you, supports both cloud and on-premise, and delivers the depth you need to run complex operations.
Point of Rental grows with your business, whether you’re a single-branch shop or an enterprise-level rental company.
Our software is designed for all types of hire businesses, not just AV. From heavy equipment to portable sanitation, Point of Rental has you covered.
Choose cloud or on-premise. Point of Rental gives you the flexibility and control Current RMS cannot.
Current RMS is only available as a cloud-based system. That’s fine for some businesses, but it limits choice and control. Point of Rental gives you deployment options. You can run in the cloud or on-premise, depending on your IT strategy, compliance requirements, or business needs.
Current RMS works well for serialized AV gear and simple kits, but it struggles with industries beyond Event. Point of Rental supports complex hire needs: maintenance tracking, meter usage, heavy machinery, multi-branch operations, and ecommerce ordering. It’s built for every kind of hire business.
Current RMS relies heavily on online resources and help docs, which can leave teams unsupported during critical moments. Point of Rental provides extensive phone, onsite, and online training programs, plus a strong customer support network so you’ll never feel alone running your business.
