Current RMS enables you to easily keep tabs on stock levels at all times, ensuring nothing gets lost or damaged. Through the dedicated Availability Calendar, not only can you be proactive if there are any shortages, but you can drive collaboration by keeping everyone in the loop of what's out where." - Sharnee

You can record payments in your accounting solution directly from Current RMS, so your two system reflect one another seamlessly.

We even recently added the ability to post purchase orders to Xero, which has been highlighted as a game changer by our users!" - Louis 

Lastly, what are you most looking forward to at this year's PLASA Show?

"This will be my first time attending PLASA Show, so being able to attend is number one. However, I'm really excited to see the industry in person, being able to interact and connect with people who I speak with on a daily basis. Plus I've heard great things about PLASA, such as the ROBE performances - so that will be really great to see!" - Sharnee
