During event staffing, a lot of planning time is spent keeping track of which crew members and freelancers are available for a job. It can be time-consuming to monitor multiple communication channels such as emails, phone calls, or Whatsapp messages.
With Rentman, you can centralize all the communication with your crew in one place:
If multiple people are involved in the planning process, it is easy to overlook changes that were made to a project. Rentman tracks all project updates, so you always know if time schedules were adjusted, extra staff was added or cancelations occurred.
This brings clarity to your work and ensures that both planners and account managers can easily view the current project status.
Shifts in the events' industry can be quite irregular and depending on the outcome of an event, it can often be difficult to determine beforehand when a working day will end.
With Rentman’s time registration, you can easily track worked hours and make sure that your crew is paid accordingly.
Projects and therefore the number of worked hours can easily change in this industry. With Rentman you can compare estimates of your planned workforce to actual costs. This way you have a complete view of the profits/losses of each step.
Track which freelancers have already sent you an invoice, for which activities, and if the amount on it is correct. Get your administration in order before the end of the quarter.
Quoted times usually do not include travel times. Even though travel times will differ per person and per project, with Rentman you can easily keep track of travel times and take them into consideration accordingly.
With Rentman you have all the information about your (external) staff that you need to make decisions about who is the best fit for the job.
With Rentman you can easily create a schedule from a quote without any extra work. No need to enter information, such as time schedules or rates, into the system twice.
Sometimes you just need to puzzle around to come up with the best schedule. In Rentman, you can make a draft and move items around without making the schedule visible to your crew.
When you are ready, you can share the schedule and make it visible.
Every event location is different, you need to be able to give your crew full transparency about what they can expect and make sure they receive the right instructions beforehand.
