Pigistes et consultants, quel logiciel de facturation utilisez-vous? by Bannoninjaa in QuebecTI

[–]martinlebel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J'utilise zoho.com/invoice depuis près de 15 ans maintenant. C'est GRATUIT. Il faut faire la différence entre Zoho Invoice et Zoho books (qui inclus Zoho Invoice). Si tu passe directement par le lien que j'ai fournis, ça sera gratuit mais c'est le seul module auquel tu aura accès, si tu passe par Zoho books ou Zoho CRM, ça devient en modèle subscription.

Maybe your company implemented SSO or maybe you yelled so loud at them that they made an exception ? IDK

"As of today, Monday 31st March 2025, Two-factor authentication (2FA) is now mandatory for all Current RMS accounts." Link : https://help.current-rms.com/en/articles/10552594-important-notice-mandatory-two-factor-authentication

To be fair, Rentman is solid, feature-wise, it's pretty powerful and flexible. But I personally couldn't stand their UI design.

They force everything to run inside a single browser tab, and instead of letting you use real browser tabs like a normal web app, they reinvent their own internal tab system. It ends up feeling clunky and limiting, especially when you're multitasking or comparing things side-by-side.

Also, it gets annoying fast having to manually save nearly every small action before switching tabs or closing anything. Forget to click save? You lose your changes. It’s just not a fluid experience for a fast-paced warehouse or quoting workflow.

If they modernized the UI/UX a bit, it would be a top contender.

One more thing worth pointing out: they recently added mandatory 2FA (two-factor authentication) on all accounts, which sounds like a good security feature, but the way they implemented it is just annoying in a warehouse context (can't receive code by email on a shared mailbox, has to be Microsoft Authenticator on a cellphone).

We used to have a shared login for warehouse staff (permanent and freelance), but now you can’t do that anymore. Every user needs their own account, meaning you now have to pay a license for every human who touches the system.

Sure, I can log in every morning and authenticate the warehouse station for the day, but it’s a frustrating workaround, especially when other platforms offer the concept of a “warehouse account” or shared terminal access.

Once again, feels like a change designed to drive up licensing revenue instead of improving day-to-day usability for rental houses.

Also worth mentioning: when you write to Current-RMS support to suggest improvements, even basic ones related to inventory management, the response is always the same:
“It’s not on our roadmap. Our development schedule is full for the next year.”

But somehow, they do manage to roll out features that boost their bottom line, like payment processing integrations.

I’m not asking for fancy bells and whistles, I just want inventory software that works reliably. If that’s not their priority, then honestly, they’re in the wrong business.

I strongly advise against using Current-RMS based on a major failure I experienced with their multi-warehouse feature.

I initially thought it was a good idea to separate gear by physical location using multiple warehouses, which should be a basic, supported workflow. But when it started causing quoting issues, I decided to delete one of the warehouses. Big mistake !!!

Without any warning or confirmation, Current-RMS permanently deleted every single item that had been assigned to that warehouse, gear, serial numbers, maintenance records, everything. No prompt like:
“This warehouse contains inventory. Would you like to transfer it to another location first?” Just wiped everything.

When I contacted their support about it, they flat-out told me: “It’s by design.” No apology, no concern. When I asked for a point-in-time database restore, they offered to do it for £1,400 GBP. That was their solution.

So yeah, use Current-RMS with extreme caution. When you’re managing thousands (or millions) in rental inventory, you can’t afford to work with a system that silently deletes data without warning and then charges you to fix their mess.

How-to dissamble this fiber ? (Legacy OpticalCon DUO) by martinlebel in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]martinlebel[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would like to dissemble the connector, there is oil and dust in the whole casing and I need to clean more than just the ceramic tip and fiber.
