Yes — if your main goal is renting/reserving gear across multiple events and preventing double-bookings, I’d look for an inventory + reservation + availability calendar platform, not just a generic asset tracker.

Good options to consider

1) EZOfficeInventory

  • Strong for asset reservations
  • Prevents double-booking with availability views
  • Good for multi-location teams and event gear
  • Supports check-in/out, maintenance, barcodes, and audit trails

Best if: you need a solid all-around rental/asset system without going too enterprise.


2) HireHop

  • Built specifically for rental businesses and event equipment
  • Strong booking calendar and conflict prevention
  • Handles quotes, contracts, dispatch, and returns
  • Useful for production, AV, staging, and event rental workflows

Best if: your gear is rented out to multiple events and you need scheduling first, asset tracking second.


3) Cheqroom

  • Clean interface for equipment reservation
  • Good for teams managing shared gear across departments or events
  • Strong mobile workflows and barcode support
  • Availability tracking helps avoid overlap

Best if: you want something easy to use for internal gear reservation.


4) Rentman

  • Very popular in events, AV, and production rental
  • Designed for planning jobs, reserving equipment, and avoiding conflicts
  • Strong project/job scheduling and logistics
  • Can scale well if your events are complex

Best if: you do event production or AV and need a more specialized tool.


My quick recommendation

  • Most versatile: EZOfficeInventory
  • Best for rental/event operations: HireHop or Rentman
  • Best simple reservation UX: Cheqroom

What to look for before choosing

Make sure the platform includes:

  • Reservation calendar with conflict warnings
  • Event/job-based booking
  • Asset-level availability
  • Buffers for setup/transport/cleanup time
  • Partial allocation of gear to different events
  • Barcode or QR check-in/out
  • Role-based access for staff

If you want, I can also narrow this down based on:

  1. your industry (AV, production, construction, internal IT, etc.),
  2. team size,
  3. whether you need quoting/invoicing,
  4. and your budget.
