Rentman, the operations management platform for live event and media production teams, has revealed acquisition of the CREWZONE software, marking a significant step in its investment in future-ready crew planning and workforce management solutions for the event production industry. The acquisition formalises a long-term partnership between Production Resource Group (PRG) and Rentman.
The event production industry is undergoing rapid change. While labor remains one of the largest cost drivers, crew and HR workflows have historically been underserved by technology. Modernizing these processes is now essential for saving time, improving cost control, and enabling high-quality operations.
Acquiring the CREWZONE platform accelerates Rentman’s mission to meet these challenges head-on. As a workforce management platform built specifically for the event technology and production industry, CREWZONE connects production companies with qualified professionals based on skills, experience, and availability, while enabling organizations to manage their own crew and plan assignments.
PRG, one of the world’s leading technical service providers in the global live event and production industry, has been a long-standing user of the CREWZONE platform. Over the past few years, PRG has used the software to support crew planning and management processes, improving efficiency across teams.
Roy van den Broek, CEO & Founder, Rentman, commented: “The long-term partnership with PRG allows us to combine real-world enterprise experience with product innovation to support the industry’s evolving needs. The acquisition of CREWZONE software combines its advanced planning capabilities with Rentman’s operational excellence, strengthening our ability to deliver scalable crew solutions to businesses of all sizes.”
The partnership between Rentman and PRG is based on continued cooperation and knowledge exchange. It ensures continuity across existing workflows while supporting the further development of crew management solutions aligned with industry needs.
Bob Walpot, President EMEA & APAC, PRG, noted: “I’m genuinely excited about the partnership PRG and Rentman have entered, as it is first and foremost focused on continued user experience development for the CREWZONE software users; our crew, freelancers, and our teams. The platform was developed from the start with users at its core, enabling consistent, world-class delivery for our clients by bringing the right people together for every production.”
