To reduce CO2 emissions and boost fuel economy in the rental industry, hire companies can now use MCS Rental Software to optimise driver routes and schedules on the fly, helping to be more reactive and be as efficient as possible.
With the latest version of the Transport Mobile app from MCS Rental Software, rental businesses can automatically plan and optimise driver routes. Drivers can also be viewed on a map using advanced telematics data so that ad-hoc jobs can be allocated and new schedules can be made with ease, updating the route instantly on the drivers’ mobile app. Nick Thomson, Sales Director at MCS, explains,
“The Transport Mobile and Resource Planner tools work together to create the perfect synergy between staff in the back office and the team on the road. Creating the most efficient route helps save fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. The ability to change routes on the fly gives rental companies the power to do more business without adding extra journeys or forcing drivers to go back on themselves. Drivers and mobile engineers can also capture electronic proof of delivery, signatures and even photographic evidence, reducing paper and improving cash flow.”
Already being used by many MCS Rental Software users, the Transport Mobile and Resource Planner features are changing the way rental companies do business. Hirers can now make intelligent planning decisions based on driver location, saving on wasted mileage, time, and money.
