About
RentKit is a comprehensive rental business management software designed specifically for companies in the party, event, equipment, tent, linen, A/V, dumpster, bike, and boat rental industries. It centralizes and automates the core operational tasks that rental businesses deal with daily — including quote creation, invoicing, deposit collection, inventory availability checks, pull sheets, crew collaboration, delivery routing, and customer communications. The platform's standout feature is its end-to-end 360° data flow: orders entered online or via the app flow through inventory, operations, delivery logistics, and accounting (with QuickBooks sync) without manual re-entry. Delivery teams can load trucks, capture on-site photos, and communicate with clients directly from the iOS or Android mobile app. Dispatchers can build custom delivery routes, assign drivers and trucks, and add stops effortlessly. RentKit also supports online booking through website integration or a new site built by the RentKit team, giving rental businesses a fully connected customer-facing front end. Customer support is provided by actual rental industry professionals, including video conferencing, YouTube tutorials, free training, and 24/7 email support. RentKit is ideal for serious rental business owners who want to reclaim their weekends, empower their staff with clear task visibility, and grow their operations without adding administrative overhead.
