Additional features

Preventative maintenance and certifications

You can prevent costly on-site equipment breakdowns by having a well maintained and serviced equipment rental fleet. MCS-rm software reminds you whenever you need to perform your routine maintenance tasks so you never forget. MCS-rm can help you:

  • Set routine maintenance plans based on time or usage intervals.
  • Ensure equipment is excluded from available inventory when a service is due during the rental period.
  • Perform inspections on equipment despatch and return.
  • Import equipment PAT test results ensuring it is safe to use.

Control equipment damage and loss

When your rental equipment is damaged, your technicians can record the nature of the damage and capture evidence so that you can recover costs from your customers at fault:

  • Perform on-hire and off-hire inspections.
  • Capture damage photographs and documentation to store with the contract as evidence
  • Capture all costs from spare parts used and engineer's time
  • Issue customers damage notification letters, estimates and damage invoices.

Schedule works orders

Repair your own rental assets as well as your customers' equipment. Keep organised and on track with everything your technician needs to do from inspection through to final fix and invoice. Oversee your engineers' daily activities and help improve productivity whilst maintaining fast equipment turnaround times. Workshop can help you:

  • Review a daily task list of works order by engineer or by depot
  • Assess the likely cost of repair to ensure they remain economical
