MCS, a leading supplier of equipment rental software, is excited to announce its latest enhancements designed specifically for bulk hire businesses. Companies that rent equipment in bulk often face logistical and financial challenges due to the high volumes of equipment. Manually processing deliveries and returns can lead to errors, delays, and lower customer satisfaction. Addressing these challenges requires advanced software solutions that streamline equipment tracking, automate project allocations, and improve the accuracy of delivery and returns.
One of the key improvements is the ability to schedule deliveries in phases. This feature allows rental businesses to better manage large orders by breaking down deliveries into more manageable steps, ensuring that equipment arrives at the right time and in the right sequence.
The software also offers a seamless check-in process for equipment returns. When equipment is brought back, users can categorise items as either in need of cleaning, damaged, or damaged beyond repair. Each category is associated with different charges, ensuring that customers are billed accurately for any issues with the returned equipment.
Furthermore, MCS Rental Software enhances yard operations and inventory management by enabling businesses to track the availability of equipment in real time. Based on the condition of the returned equipment, the system is quickly updated to move items from "available" to "unavailable" status, automatically adjusting stock levels and ensuring the yard operations are kept organised.
The software is fully mobile-friendly, enabling staff to take photos of equipment, record signatures from customers, and complete other essential tasks in the bulk rental process whilst on-site. Nick Thomson, MCS Sales Director, explains:
“We are thrilled to introduce these updates to the MCS solution, tailored to meet the unique challenges of bulk hire businesses. The enhanced check-in process, phased delivery scheduling, and improved yard operations reflect our commitment to digitalising and optimising workflows for rental companies across all sectors. The ability to access the software via a mobile device further demonstrates how far we have come, and we are excited to continue empowering business in the ever-evolving rental industry.”
All MCS Rental Software users can now benefit from these enhancements to the bulk hire process.
