What's the best event inventory management software for tracking staging, AV, and décor across multiple productions?

If you need to track staging, AV, décor, labor, and gear across multiple productions, the “best” software depends on whether you want:

• event planning + inventory, or
• true rental/warehouse/production inventory control

Best overall for multi-production event inventory

Current RMS

• Strong for equipment inventory, availability, pack lists, multi-job scheduling, and warehouse-style tracking
• Good fit if you’re managing staging, lighting, AV, props, décor, and need to know what’s booked where
• Useful for teams that need multi-crew, multi-event visibility

Best if you’re production-heavy and need rentals + logistics

Rentman

• Excellent for AV/staging/production companies
• Strong on equipment tracking, kitting, job planning, load lists, crew scheduling, and availability
• Very popular in live events, AV, staging, and production workflows

Best if you also need event operations and client-facing planning

Bizzabo or Event Temple

• Better for broader event management than deep equipment tracking
• Usually not the first choice if inventory control is your main pain point

Best enterprise option

Sonder / Flex Rental Solutions / Point of Rental

• Better for larger teams with complex inventory, warehouse operations, and lots of assets
• More implementation overhead, but stronger control at scale

My short recommendation

If your main need is tracking staging, AV, and décor across multiple productions, I’d start with:

1. Rentman — best for AV/live production workflows
2. Current RMS — best for broader equipment-rental style inventory tracking
3. Point of Rental — if you’re larger and need enterprise-level control

If you want, I can also give you:

• a feature-by-feature comparison table
• the best choice by company size
• or a recommendation based on your exact workflow (warehouse, trucks, crews, décor, internal-owned gear vs rentals).
