Operations management and equipment rental SaaS for events, AV and media production teams. Rentman provides inventory and equipment tracking (QR/barcode/RFID support), scheduling and availability, maintenance and repair administration, and integrations to support online bookings and logistics.
Circularity Relevance
Core
Rentman enables rental operations, inventory tracking, maintenance and repair workflows which support reuse and life-extension of equipment - a meaningful but indirect contribution to circular economy outcomes. Evidence: product pages for Equipment Rental, Repairs & Inspections, Inventory Management. [Source: Rentman, 2025]
Circular Role
SupportEnabler
Rentman provides SaaS tools used by rental companies to run circular activities (rentals, repairs, inventory) rather than directly operating rental flows itself.
Circular Type
Traceability
• Inventory
Primary functionality is inventory and equipment tracking (availability, serial numbers, QR/barcode/RFID support, containers and stock locations). Categorised as Traceability → Inventory. [Source: Rentman product pages]
R Strategy
R3 - Reuse, R4 - Repair, R2 - Reduce
Primary: R3 (Reuse) - platform explicitly supports equipment rental and reuse. R4 (Repair) - platform includes maintenance, repairs and inspection workflows. Secondary: R2 (Reduce) - by improving utilisation and avoiding double-bookings Rentman can reduce unnecessary purchases (inferred). Evidence: Equipment Rental, Repairs & Inspections, Availability features. [Source: Rentman site]
Circular Business Model
Rental / Leasing, Sharing / Collaborative Use
Rentman is explicitly positioned as rental business management software (rental/leasing) and supports sharing/collaborative use workflows (manage multi-location stock, subrentals). [Source: Rentman product pages]
Organisational Type
ForProfit
Rentman is incorporated as Rentman B.V. (a private company), with company filings and business profiles listing it as a commercial software business. [Source: Rentman About / Creditsafe]
Sector
All / Any
Rentman targets multiple industries (Equipment Rental, AV & Event Production, Media & Broadcasting, Party Rental), so is cross-sector rather than a single industry vertical. Source: Rentman Industries pages
Geographical Reach
International
• Netherlands
Site offers multiple language versions (en, nl, de, fr, it, es) and targets customers internationally, but does not explicitly claim a global office footprint. [Source: Rentman site footer language links]
Hardware Component
None
Rentman supports use of RFID, barcodes and QR codes and integrates with scanners and readers, but the website does not indicate Rentman supplies or operates specialised physical hardware itself; hardware is a supported integration rather than a provider-supplied component.
Tech Map Relevance
Rentman clearly provides software that enables equipment rental operations (rental/leasing and sharing), which is directly relevant to circular economy use cases such as reuse and utilising existing assets. Evidence: Rentman product pages describe equipment rental, inventory tracking, maintenance and repairs Source: Rentman, 2025.
