With years of experience of offering our hire management solution, we have a proven track record of implementing our hire management solution to Portable Accommodation and Container hire businesses.
Fast facts for portable accommodation and container hirers:
MCS-rm manages the quotations, contract processing and invoicing of your cabin and container hires. This offers time and labour savings as well as improved accuracy, faster throughput and increased revenue.
Make better informed decisions about your cabin and container hire utilisation and increase your profitability – MCS-rm tracks all your hire fleet to give an up-to-date picture of availability and location.
The Allocation Chart gives you a colour-coded visual guide, enabling you to plan your hire fleet utilisation, reduce booking conflicts and improve performance and revenue.
A Daily Diary lets your depot teams view the day's deliveries, collections & returns and highlights overdue activities. This increases efficiency and reduces errors.
Safety and lifting certificates can be tracked and checked for validity before allowing the hire of your cabins and containers. The system reminds you when these need to be renewed and prompts for the latest certificate to be uploaded.
Current safety and lifting certificates and operating instructions are printed (or emailed) with your hire contract or delivery notes to ensure that the customer has the relevant information.
The Workshop and Maintenance module keeps your cabins and containers in optimum working order and schedules and tracks all repairs and modifications – this reduces breakdowns and improves your hire utilisation, profitability and stock expenditure. Scheduled Maintenance Alerts ensures your cabins and containers are not booked out on a contract when a service is imminent, and a quick works order can be generated should they need repairing while in use, ensuring speedy and efficient on-site repair.
Provide a complete picture of your financing costs for your cabins and containers to help you fully understand your asset costs and value. This helps you reduce capital outlay and forecast future cash flow.
The Today Page gives a snapshot of current hire activities and enables you to drill down to access more detail – this ensures you meet your customer commitments.
Fully configurable Smart Alerts provide an early warning system for any pre-defined hire issues such as hire rates negotiated below a certain threshold – you'll improve your responsiveness and save time and manpower to reduce costs and increase revenue.
Transport Manager helps you manage all cabin and container hire delivery and collections by planning and optimising driver routes – this reduces transport costs, while driver accuracy improves customer satisfaction.
Proof of Delivery scans and electronically files signed delivery/collection notes and other documentation with the contract, to be viewed or emailed in the event of a query. This resolves invoice queries and improves cash flow.
Purchase Order Processing helps you to understand your complete expenditure by tracking purchasing costs.
CRM provides a fully integrated customer and prospect database, with quotation, marketing campaign management and lead monitoring. This boosts sales and marketing and supports customer retention.
Use many standard reports provided or create your own to analyse key hire data.
In addition, Report Scheduler automates the transmission of reports to predefined recipients at specified intervals via email or SMS text message.
Business Intelligence tools analyse key business information visually by using Dashboards and Microsoft Excel pivot tables – you'll be better placed to make the right management decisions.
