The MCS-rm software solution has helped many bulk hirers overcome their unique business challenges efficiently and cost-effectively.
Fast facts for bulk hirers:
MCS-rm manages the quotations, contract processing and invoicing of your bulk hire products. This offers time and labour savings as well as improved accuracy, faster throughput and increased revenue.
Each client job can have multiple deliveries and collections so that products are supplied exactly when the client needs them.
Deliveries can be planned and a loading list produced so products can be picked. After picking, changes to planned products and quantities can be made. Actual products and quantities being delivered are then printed on a delivery note ready for transportation to site.
Deliveries can be split if being delivered later, or on different transport.
Products ready for collection can be planned or a collection note can just be used as instruction to visit site and collect what’s ready.
Products being collected can be assessed for their condition and additional charges made for cleaning, damage repair or loss.
Collections are automatically off-hired against deliveries on the same job. Over-returns can be added to inventory or returned to the client as required.
Products processed as lost but then found can be easily returned to inventory and a credit raised to the client automatically.
Each job tracks the balances of products that have been delivered, collected and remaining on site and this information can be viewed on screen or report or made available to clients through a customer statement.
A unique invoice format shows the client the opening balances, movements on and off the job and closing balances for the period, with hire charges clearly shown to give the client a clear understanding. Transport charges and additional charges for cleaning, damage and loss are clearly presented.
Tracks all your products, giving an up-to-date picture of their availability and location. You can make more informed decisions and increase your profitability.
