Choosing Your Account Type

NexusRMS offers two distinct account types, each designed for a different role in the rental industry. Choosing the right one upfront ensures you get the features and workflow that match how you operate.

Company Account

A Company Account is designed for rental businesses of any size — from one-person operations to large enterprises with multiple warehouses and dozens of staff.

What you get

  • Dedicated tenant workspace at yourcompany.nexusrms.io with its own isolated database
  • Full equipment management with serial tracking, QR codes, RFID support, and category hierarchies
  • Project management with sub-projects, templates, recurring bookings, and timeline views
  • Client CRM with contact management, client portal, and communication history
  • Financial tools including quotes, invoices, credit notes, and multi-currency support
  • Warehouse operations with packing lists, check-in/out workflows, and stock management
  • Crew scheduling with GPS-verified time clock, availability tracking, and shift management
  • Dashboards & analytics with 50+ customisable widgets and drag-and-drop layouts

Pricing

The base plan starts at £49/month and includes one CoreAdmin seat plus all core features. Additional admin seats are £50/month each, manager seats are £30/month, and all other user roles (Project Manager, Warehouse Staff, Technician, Viewer) are free and unlimited.

Every new company account starts with a 14-day free trial that includes every feature and addon — no credit card required.

Freelancer Account

What you get

  • Freelancer Node at nodes.nexusrms.io/fl/your-id with a public-facing profile
  • 60+ field professional profile covering skills, certifications, experience, rates, and availability
  • Company connections — connect with Core Tenant companies and receive booking requests
  • Calendar sync with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple iCloud
  • Time tracking for jobs you work on, with entries stored in both your Node and the company's system
  • PDF invoicing to bill companies and clients directly

Who should choose this

  • Freelance AV technicians
  • Independent lighting and sound engineers
  • Freelance riggers and stagehands
  • Camera operators and broadcast crew
  • Any independent professional working with rental companies

Can I have both?

Yes. You can register a Company Account and a Freelancer Account using the same email address. They are completely separate systems with different logins and workspaces. Many owner-operators who run a small rental company and also freelance for larger companies use both.

Can I switch later?

Account types cannot be converted after registration. If you start as a freelancer and later want a company workspace (or vice versa), you will need to create a new account of the other type. Your existing account will remain active.
