Audio, visual and production hire lives and dies on show days — kit must be prepped, packed and delivered exactly right, because there is no second chance once the doors open. Companies manage vast, itemised inventories, complex multi-item packages, and tight turnarounds between events. Renttix keeps your entire stock, from PA and lighting to LED walls and staging, organised as accurate pick lists, sub-hires and schedules, so every job goes out complete and comes back accounted for.
Common challenges in AV and production hire
Complex multi-item packages
Building shows from hundreds of individual components — cables, clamps, control and consumables — where one missing item can stop a production dead.
Tight event turnarounds
Prepping, testing and repacking kit between back-to-back events, often overnight, while keeping availability accurate for overlapping bookings.
Sub-hire and cross-rental
Covering shortfalls by hiring in from other suppliers under pressure, then tracking those costs and returns against the right job.
How Renttix helps
Package and pick-list building
Save reusable equipment packages and generate accurate pick lists down to the last cable and clamp, so crews load complete every time.
Availability and prep scheduling
See real-time availability across overlapping bookings and manage prep, test and return stages so nothing is promised twice or left unchecked.
Sub-hire tracking
Log cross-rentals against the job they cover, capture supplier costs and due-backs, and keep margins and returns visible in one place.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. You can save common rigs and show packages — a full PA system, a lighting spec or a complete LED setup — as reusable templates. Renttix then generates itemised pick lists down to cables, clamps and consumables, so crews load everything the job needs and nothing is forgotten under pressure.
When you hire in kit to cover a shortfall, Renttix lets you log it against the specific job, record the supplier and cost, and track the due-back date. That keeps your true costs and margins visible per event and ensures cross-rented equipment is returned to the right supplier on time.
It does. Renttix tracks real-time availability across every booking, including overlapping and back-to-back events. As kit is quoted, confirmed and dispatched, availability updates instantly, so you can see conflicts before they happen and avoid promising the same LED wall or console to two shows at once.
Yes. Each job can move through prep, test, dispatch, return and check-in stages, so your crew always knows what needs preparing and what has come back. This is especially valuable on overnight turnarounds, keeping faulty or missing items visible before the kit heads out to the next event.
