MCS-rm delivers more efficient inventory control for Fowler Rental & Sales
Customer Profile Industry: Tool rental and sales www.fowlertools.co.uk
With growth comes change, so over the years, Fowler’s paper-based management system evolved to a character-based software package. This served the company well until continued growth and the advent of Windows® brought pressure on the company to upgrade further.
After reviewing the market, Fowler Rental and Sales chose to go with MCS. The MCS team set about transferring the data from the old management system to MCS-rm. Once completed, Fowler undertook MCS training, and the journey with MCS began.
Contracts, off-rentals and invoices “When a customer rents a piece of kit, a contract is raised in MCS-rm. When this item is returned, the system raises an off-rental ticket and ultimately the invoice - all from one data input. The system also ensures that a piece of equipment is recorded as off-rental until it is returned to the depot and available for rental again”.

Flexible invoicing Often a rental customer will return some of the disposable items unused. For instance if he has taken away 10 sanding belts and has used only six, we can alter that item on the invoice and charge him accordingly.
