From email to Current RMS
— hands off.

Quote requests, sub-rentals, COI uploads — all flow into your RMS the moment they hit your inbox. You approve in Slack. We do the typing.

See the email → Current RMS loop in 90 seconds.

The problem

Current RMS holds your inventory.
Your inbox holds your revenue.

And nothing connects the two except a person typing.

42 hours
Industry-average reply time

By the time you draft a quote, your customer already booked the rental house that replied first.

78%
Of customers buy from the first responder

Not the cheapest. Not the closest. The fastest. Speed is the only moat that matters at the inquiry stage.

Reply in 5 minutes vs 30 and the math collapses. Reply in 5 vs 24 hours and you're not in the deal.

The solution

One agent. Three loops around Current RMS.

Not five point tools. One Runbear agent that lives in your Slack, reads your inbox, and writes to your RMS.

Quote drafts, automatically

Email lands. Runbear parses the request — dates, gear, attachments — checks Current RMS for availability, and posts a draft quote in Slack. You approve, it ships.

Slack as your Current RMS Q&A

Junior staff stop interrupting the owner. They ask Runbear in Slack — "who's our backup for Easyrigs?", "any 600d ND filters next weekend?" — and get an answer pulled live from your RMS.

@runbear do we have any 600d ND filters available next weekend?

RunbearAPP10:42 AM
Yes — 3 available May 10–12. 1 out on rental through May 9, back in the shop by 6 PM.

Sub-rentals + COIs without copy-paste

Missing gear? Runbear matches against your sub-rental vendor history and drafts the PO. Customer COI uploaded? Runbear OCRs it and cross-checks against your insurer rules — flags the fake before the gear leaves.

COI from acme-films looks good — Hartford policy, valid through Aug, insured matches RMS contact. ✅

A 500-item quote used to take 3+ hours to build by hand. Now Runbear drafts it from the email before I’ve finished my coffee.

How we roll out

Co-built. Not just shipped.

We don't hand you a dashboard and disappear. We build alongside your team for four weeks until the loop is solid.

Week 1
01

Pick & observe

You pick the workflow that hurts most. We sit with whoever runs it today and map the real flow — not the whiteboard version.

Weeks 2–3
02

Build & run in shadow

Agent runs in the background and posts drafts to Slack. Nothing reaches customers or vendors without your approval.

Week 4
03

Flip the switch

Hit the agreed accuracy bar (we set it together up front), and the agent takes humans out of the loop for clear-cut cases.

Why Runbear

Why not Zapier, 2Quip, or building it yourself?

1

Slack-native, not another dashboard

Your team already lives in Slack. Runbear posts there, waits for a thumbs-up, then acts. Onboarding is "invite the bot."

2

Talks directly to Current RMS

We work around RMS's limits — no API? truncation? — using MCP. You keep full flexibility on your data and we never ask you to migrate.

3

Human-in-the-loop by default

Drafts, not sends. You approve every customer-facing action until the accuracy bar is hit. Nothing goes out behind your back.

Book a demo

See it on your own RMS in 30 minutes.

Bring a recent quote request. We'll show you how it would have flowed through Runbear — drafted, checked against availability, ready to ship.

FAQ

Questions rental ops teams ask us.

Yes. Runbear posts drafts and waits for approvals in Slack — that's the whole point of the loop. If your team isn't on Slack yet, the demo isn't a fit. We can revisit when you are.
