![]() I just smiled at him and said that's what it was. ![]() He then replied all smug and said he will only accept a list containing only kit on that job, not a list of everything we owned (he obviously had plenty of experience being difficult). That was actually one of those moments in life I will remember with a smile on my face until the day I die, but it got better. Logged onto Hirehop on my phone, a couple of clicks and told him the certificates was in his inbox (emails come from me in Hirehop, not some strange email address like in Current). I once turned up to a venue (a London hotel that will remain nameless, that also overlooks the Thames as a hint for some), who, as we were about to do the load in, wanted to see PAT test certs for everything on the job or we were not allowed to setup (they were annoyed as we were not the inhouse company). Also the PAT tests logging is pointless unless you keep a record of all the old ones, including repairs, something only Hirehop does.Īlso, you can't print certificates on Current and can't properly store Loler tests as it does not keep the required data (you can on HireHop). With HireHop, you don't need to download your inventory to update tests, you just upload the tests, something they have had for years. They switched to Hirehop and have never looked back.Īlso Current try to copy HireHop badly. I tried Current when I helped out at another company for a month, it was so bad and really holding them back. Obviously the dream is something like RentalWorks, but the price isn't advertised anywhere and "if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it" rings true here. I also don't mind putting in some leg work, but I've been struggling to find non-cloud based options in the small to medium scale. I've got an IT background and have no problems with setting up a server (I've got some old stuff lying around just begging for a purpose in life). We do have a pretty extensive collection of props and pre-made set pieces that I'd love to have the option to catalog later, but that is far from my priority at the moment.ĭoes anybody know of any free/really inexpensive solutions? Preferably on-premises/self-hosted. ![]() ![]() My goal is to catalog our lighting, sound, video, and projection equipment. This downtime would be perfect for exploring our options and getting all of our equipment cataloged into a program, but with no foreseeable income we've put a spending freeze on. As a result, we unfortunately do not have any inventory to speak of and have already outgrown a basic Excel spreadsheet. We reserve the right to remove posts and/or comments that contain blatantly dangerous advice.ĭoes anyone have recommendations for "budget" software to track equipment rentals and inventory? I work for a small-ish company which started up solely as a scene shop and slowly expanded into the world of tech.
