Goodshuffle Pro is an established platform with a large customer base in US event rental, and if you are weighing it up you are asking a sensible question. This page is what Event Managr does, so you can hold the two side by side rather than take our word for it.
● From $29 a month. 14-day free trial. No card required.
WHO THIS PAGE IS FOR
You run an event or party rental company, you have outgrown the spreadsheet, and the monthly cost of a full platform is a real line in a small budget.
WHAT EVENT MANAGR DOES
Every item carries its own prep and cleaning days, and availability subtracts them. Linen collected on Sunday with two days of turnaround is not offered for Monday just because the booking technically ended. The number you quote from is the number you can actually load.
Returning stock is the only moment the truth about your inventory changes, so it is a full workflow rather than an edit screen. You record what came back, what came back broken and what did not come back, and the three reconcile against what went out. Count forty-two against forty and it says so, because somebody has counted a pile twice.
Damaged stock is here and out of service. Missing stock is unaccounted for and often turns up in the wrong crate at the next event. Both come off availability, both stay on the record, and neither is a note in a comment field — so “how many do I own” and “how many can I promise in June” stay two answerable questions.
Roles are assembled from individual permissions rather than picked from a list of three. Warehouse staff can move units between pools, fix a storage position and submit a stock count without ever being able to change what the company owns — and cost prices are visible only to the roles you hand that permission to.
WHEN TO BUY THEIRS
If you need a polished client-facing proposal flow with e-signatures and payment collection built around it, a deep CRM and sales pipeline, or a vendor with a support team and years of track record behind them, Goodshuffle Pro is the more established product and you should buy it. We are newer, smaller and cheaper, and those three things travel together.
QUESTIONS
Yes, and it is usually quicker than people expect because stock is held as bulk quantities rather than asset records — forty chairs are one row with a count of forty. Your data stays yours: it is an ordinary database and nothing about the way it is stored is designed to make leaving difficult.
Both. A booking's lines become a draft quote, a quote becomes an invoice, payments record against it, and a receipt is issued automatically for every posted payment — part-payments included. Damaged items can be charged at their replacement price on the same document.
Load one category of stock and one real booking. That is enough to see how availability, load-out and check-in behave, and it takes about twenty minutes. The trial runs at the top tier so nothing is hidden behind a plan you have not chosen.
ALSO COMPARED
Event Managr starts with a 14-day free trial, and no card is required. Load one category and one real booking — that is enough to tell whether it fits.
