MCS RENTAL MCS Rental Software has refreshed its Resource Planner with the aim of helping hire businesses increase their productivity. The newMCS Resource Planner, within MCS-rm hire management software, enables hire businesses to accurately plan their resources, from the availability and workload of its teams, to estimating journey times and task optimisation. Rental companies can make sure that their deadlines are consistently met by being able to visualise their future resource demands, as well as receive live status updates of workers in the field. Allocating the right employee with the relevant skillset and qualifications means that a hire company can ensure they deliver fantastic customer service and get the job done right first time. Nick Thomson, Sales Director for MCS, comments, “The MCS Resource Planner helps teams to collaborate, enabling hire companies to respect their customers’ deadlines. Resource planners can match tasks to skill sets and be able to handle their ever- changing priorities with ease. Not only will the company be able to give superior levels of customer service, they’ll get happier, more engaged teammembers too.” The comprehensive Resource Planner enables a hire company to plan tasks ahead of schedule, making any ad-hoc amendments or additions to resource schedules. Planners will get a better view of where their resources could be better utilised and it will highlight any available and spare resources that could be allocated to outstanding tasks. Nick explains how companies with a mobile workforce can use the Resource Planner to their advantage, “The Resource Planner automatically calculates taskswith journey times for your drivers and engineersmoving between job sites, giving you realistic arrival times, so you canmanage yourmobile resources in themost efficient way.
