On May 27, 2020 Flex Rental Solutions released version 0.27.17 of Flex5 Desktop. This release includes important Flex5 software feature updates as well as some bug fixes.

Flex Rental Solutions is excited to announce we just reached a monumental milestone in our development efforts with Flex5 Desktop. Last week, with the release of version 0.27.15, we officially exited the Flex5 Alpha phase and entered the Beta phase. With this change, we have enabled all customers to use the Desktop version of Flex5. Does that mean I don't have to use Flex4 anymore? Not quite! Flex5 is still in active development and some features and functionality are not yet available. You will use Flex4 (the current Flash-based product) for some things and Flex5 (the new HTML5-based product) for others in your day-to-day operations. Eventually all functi

Flex Rental Solutions has been working diligently on making the transition to Flex5 Desktop. As part of the 4.27.0 release, you may have noticed some new links in Flex called "Open in Flex5" on financial documents, inventory, and some scanning screens. You will only see these links if you have the System Administrator permission granted, but this will change in the future so eventually every user will be able to see the links. Currently, these links take you to a "Coming Soon" page with information about Flex5. But in the coming weeks and months, we will be allowing some customers access to select features in Flex5 and they will be able to use the "Open in Flex5" links to quickly navigate between Flex4 (the current Flash bas

For Flex Rental Solutions 2018 was a year of delivering on our promise to bring best-in-class apps and building a solid foundation for the future of Flex5 - 2019 will be no different. In fact, we’re more excited than ever. Let’s start off with a quote from someone who emailed us recently - a university professor training the next great minds of the production industry. “We'd really love to train students on Flex, as it seems to be the premiere product being used in the market today.” - Daniel Mixer, Daytona State, Mike Curb College of Music, Entertainment, and Art Last year we celebrated memorable milestones We released Flex5 Tablet to our users. Shortly after, we released Flex5 Phone - giving our users more ways to manage their inventory. We also released

We're announcing the release of Flex5 Phone - our newly designed mobile app - to all our users! Flex5 Phone is already available for download in the Apple App Store for iPhones and in the Google Play store for Android devices. Flex5 Phone replaces Flex Mobile, which is no longer available in the App store. “We’re really excited about the progress we’ve made bringing new ways for our users to track and manage their inventory in the warehouse and on the go,” said Chris Stein, CEO of Flex Rental Solutions, “our goal with Flex5 is to take the focus away from scanning and put it on what matters: increasing our user’s overall efficiency.” Flex5 Phone features will mirror Flex5 Tablet. Users can search, call, text, or get direction to a contact right from their phone or tablet. Flex5 has

We're excited to announce the release of Flex5 Tablet to all our users. After months of developing, testing, beta user feedback, bug squashing, and feature improvements we're ready for the big reveal. In these past several months we have gained incredible momentum leading up to the launch of tablet. Flex5 Tablet was a big undertaking.  Our approach was to design the user interface to adapt to the device and how people use applications on tablet, phone, and desktop, instead of simply shrinking a desktop environment smaller to fit on a tablet or phone. We also laid the groundwork for a new backend architecture that will significantly improve the speed, reliability, and efficiency of the application. This is the same backend architecture and APIs that will

In July, Flex Rental Solutions received a Best of InfoComm 2018 award for Flex5 Tablet under the category of "Best Service/Product You Probably Didn’t See". The award was granted by rAVe Publications, a news organization that provides coverage of the commercial and residential audiovisual trade industries. “Having worked in a warehouse for 20 years, we set out to build a high-performance inventory and rental management product that was easy to use but still had powerful functionality,” said Chris Stein, CEO of Flex Rental Solutions, “the award for the tablet is the tip of the iceberg for what’s coming in the pipeline for Flex5, we’
