The Modern Maintenance Toolkit: AI-Driven Uptime, Inspections on the Fly, and Live Dashboards
At MCS, we go way beyond just standard maintenance and compliance; we’ve taken it to the next level. With preventative maintenance, mobile apps, and real-time visibility, taking control of your fleet has never been easier.
Maintenance and preventive maintenance that scales with you
Preventive maintenance that fits your fleet, not a one-size-fits-all script: Set schedules by asset type, usage, or calendar, so maintenance happens on time, every time. No more kit that goes out and will need to either have late servicing or on-site engineers, just rental-ready equipment from rental day one.
Full maintenance lifecycle in one place: From planning and work orders to parts management and technician notes, you have a complete history at your fingertips. Maintaining your equipment becomes hassle-free, regardless of whether you’re on-site or in the workshop.
Cost awareness and uptime: Track maintenance costs, parts usage, and asset uptime to optimise fleets and reduce unplanned downtime as you grow. You can even spot rogue equipment that’s costing you more than it’s making, find trends in maintenance requirements, or even flag customers that are a little heavy-handed with your equipment.
Compliance and safety built into everyday operations
Audit trails and controls: Every action is tracked, with role-based access and approval workflows to meet regulatory and safety requirements. You can make sure your team only have access to what they need.
Standardised processes: Consistent maintenance and inspection workflows help maintain standards across regions and teams. You can make specific workflows mandatory, include checklists, photos, videos and more.
Inspections, checklists, and mobile capabilities
Inspections built into workflows: Create standardised checklists for pre-delivery, in-service checks, and off-hire checks, capturing results and photos on the go. This helps track equipment health, and means you can re-charge any damage or non-compliant usage back to your customers.
Mobile-first for field teams: Real-time access on mobile devices to inspection history, maintenance needs, and asset status, keeping teams aligned whether at the yard, on-site, or in the workshop. You can even take it one step further with eScan, where you can place QR codes on your assets that store equipment certifications, manuals, warnings, and more.
Dispatch and field operations with real-time visibility
Dispatch with clarity: Assign tasks to field teams, track progress, and adjust on the fly as priorities shift. You can categorise your resources by availability, certifications, shift patterns, and more.
Real-time data for faster decisions: See live status updates, asset location, and job progress across the fleet, great for cross-site coordination and emergencies. Emergency breakdowns are easier than ever to get your nearest engineer on-site in record time.
End-to-end workflow cohesion: Dispatch, mobile tasks, and workshop activity feed into a single source of truth, reducing miscommunication and delays. Your rental mangers, workshop managers, and business owners can see exactly what is going on at all times – visibility has never been clearer.
Real-time reporting and analytics across the operation
Live dashboards across maintenance, inspections, dispatch, and utilisation: KPIs that matter to operators of all sizes, including uptime, turnaround time, maintenance cost per asset, and asset utilisation. You can get data faster than ever, in easy-to-digest dashboards.
Actionable insights at scale: Turning data into action, AI-assisted suggestions for preventive maintenance, optimised scheduling, and resource allocation as your fleet grows.
A quick note on ROI and value
Value across the lifecycle: Fewer surprises, faster repair cycles, improved asset utilisation, and better safety/compliance outcomes translate into tangible ROI for fleets of any size.
