  • Streamlined inter-site equipment transfers, reducing transport costs
  • Automated safety alerts ensuring equipment is compliant with industry standards

The challenge

Bouygues TPRF’s equipment department once relied on outdated methods to manage their 2,000+ item fleet. Construction sites handled equipment availability independently, making it nearly impossible to view fleet status across sites. Managing availability through Excel files was labor-intensive and prone to errors, requiring manual data entry for equipment allocation and invoicing—a process that quickly became unmanageable.

The Solution

After evaluating their needs, Bouygues TPRF discovered MCS-rm rental software, which perfectly matched their fleet management requirements. The system’s centralized database now tracks all their equipment, while the intuitive Daily Diary feature streamlines daily planning by presenting a clear list of actions.

What made you choose MCS?

“We prepared a wish-list of our needs and evaluated the different solutions on the market. We decided that MCS-rm was the only tool that could meet all of our professional, rental and financial needs, provide complete visibility across depots and manage all of our in-house rental activity.”

Snapshot Module

“With the MCS Snapshot module, we are able to track our equipment with great precision. We know where each piece of equipment is in real time. Deliveries are organized more effectively and we can achieve economies of scale for transport.”

Health and Safety Compliance

“The workshop module is very useful. We use sensitive equipment, such as jacks for the construction of bridges which are subject to strict safety standards and it is important that regulatory controls and technical checks are performed to ensure that we comply with health and safety regulations. The MCS-rm application sends us smart alerts to make sure these processes are not missed. The software also indicates where equipment is unavailable while the checks take place.”

The Future

“Following the successful installation of MCS-rm in the equipment department of Bouygues TPRF, another subsidiary, Bouygues TP VSL International decided to invest in MCS-rm as well and installed it first in Switzerland and Hong Kong. The solution is available in several languages and can therefore be easily rolled out to other countries.”

The integration of all the various steps of the equipment department processes into a single software eliminates data errors and reduces data duplication throughout the entire hire process, from the request of equipment to the invoicing for each site.
