MCS showcases hire software solution at PLASA/09 for first time
MCS will be at PLASA/09 (Stand 1-K31) for the first time to demonstrate how MCS-rm, its hire solution product, can support the business needs of the AV hire market.
July 2009 - MCS, the leading hire software solutions specialist, is attending the 2009 PLASA exhibition at Earls Court on 13-16 September, 2009. This will be the first time company has showcased MCS-rm, its premiere Windows-based hire solution, at PLASA.
Nick Thomson, Sales Manager at MCS explains:
“We have been working hard on the detail of our hire solution to ensure it meets the specialist requirements of the AV market and believe we offer all the specific functionality the AV market demands. This is on top of its core functionality generating quotations, contracts and invoices as well as aggregating all delivery and collection notes together with all the associated documents. We feel it is time to make a stand at PLASA.”
MCS-rm has all the functionality necessary to underpin the specific goals of an AV hire firm. Specifically, this could be anything from the redesigned interface that displays a convenient daily pop-up alert message highlighting the status of equipment and plant on, or off, hire - to the scheduling of crew and transportation, project costing and deal pricing.
MCS-rm also offers the AV market a complete analysis of equipment availability and utilisation as well as full integration with PAT testing software to ensure electrical test results are recorded for each item of equipment, so only fully tested equipment goes out on hire.
“What’s more,” Nick adds, “by mixing and matching a range of optional functionality, such as Business Intelligence (MCS-bi) and CRM tools (MCS-crm), we can help AV hire companies deliver relevant management information direct to their desktops, providing the resources that achieve faster and more efficient working practices.”
The success of MCS-rm has been proven time and again in the marketplace by satisfied customers. One of the more recent implementations of MCS-rm was to Gordon Audio Visual, a leading AV hirer. Managing Director, Nick Clark, confirms:
“Thanks to MCS-rm, we have much better control of our operation. We can now track all assets from quotation to invoice and finally have a centralised accurate record of all transactions which we can gain immediate access to. We can understand the status of our equipment, for instance its availability, location and utilisation at any time wherever we are based.”
After only a few months, Nick can already appreciate the benefits of implementing the MCS solution:
“MCS-rm has saved us time and eliminated many costly misunderstandings. At last all our quotations are recorded in one place and any outstanding quotations can be followed up so no opportunity is overlooked. We can also analyse the reason for a declined quotations. This gives us a better business insight.”
