In the know

Receive customised proactive alerts so you can address issues the moment they arise ensuring that the highest standards are consistently met.

Customised critical alerts

Be better informed

Simply set and forget! Be the first to know of any non-compliance issues with your company procedures. Smart Alerts will send you an alert by email or SMS as soon as your exception occurs rather than finding out when it is too late.

Data capturing

Consistent data input to
prevent user error

Always capture the right data consistently in your preferred format with prompts for data corrections at the point of entry. These simple on-screen prompts mean you can rectify data issues immediately.

Procedures

Enforce adherence to
company procedures

Investigate exceptions immediately and fine tune your unique operational procedures so that you can be proactive in addressing issues and be fully aware of any non-conformities arising.

MCS Smart Alerts Testimonial
These proactive business alerts are a very useful tool to help us ‘work smarter’. At the moment, we are using them to flag up any exceptions. For instance, if our hire controllers enter an incorrect price, this will be spotted instantly, rather than only coming to light in a report at a later date.

Additional features

Data integrity checks and user warnings

Ensure that your users enter data in your preferred format or that certain information is always captured. For example, with Smart Alerts you could:

  • Ensure that the Source of Lead is always captured.
  • Ensure that a telephone STD code is always added.
  • Check that customer discounts are within authorised levels.

Proactive information to improve your business

Define your own specific scenarios that you want to monitor and let Smart Alerts do the rest! Your data is consistently monitored behind the scenes and only when that scenario is met, will an alert be sent out by email or SMS. An email will contain details for further analysis. Our Smart Alerts have been used to spot:

  • A lapsed customer that stops using your services for a defined period
  • Unnecessary rehires when your own kit can be substituted in
  • Overdue collections
  • Equipment stuck in the workshop still awaiting a damage approval request
  • Under-utilised assets within a certain timeframe
  • When a high value order was lost
  • When a customer is approaching their credit limit
