RTPro is the premier rental inventory tracker system that tracks both Barcoded and non-Barcoded items for the rental set lighting and audio video industry. Rental activity can be tracked across Parent Companies, Productions, Orders, Projects, Job Components and Contacts.
RTPro makes it easy to track rental inventory. It is flexible to track both Barcoded and non-Barcoded items. Barcoded items are items that have a unique barcode label attached to the item. This is the best way to track an item because the unique barcode label distinguishes the item easily in the system. The unique barcode can easily be tracked. Non-Barcoded items are items that do not have a unique barcode. These items are usually tracked by quantity or not tracked at all. A non-Barcoded item is usually an item that cannot physically have a barcode label or it is not worth tracking the individual piece. This would be, for example, glass items, paper items, or items with a low value that it does not really benefit having a barcode attached. The non-Barcoded method should be used sparingly. One benefit of RTPro is the speed and ease of scanning a barcode.
Barcodes are a very important part of RTPro. A barcode identifies you and your property. A barcode can have your company name, equipment code description, perhaps your shop’s phone number. Finding the right barcode for your business is essential for security, durability, and integration with RTPro. A barcode should be permanent. If a barcode can be removed, you have the potential of losing your item. Next, a barcode should be durable. Barcodes should last through cleanings, weather conditions, heat and normal wear-and-tear. A good barcode should be durable for proper reads by scanning guns. Finally, a barcode is essential to the integration of RTPro. With the proper barcode, scanning items in and out will be very easy. If a barcode fails, then it should NOT be entered manually. For a rental business, manually entering in a barcode is unacceptable. Therefore, selection of the proper barcode is essential to a seamless integration with RTPro software.
