The Challenges
Even in its early days, Echo Barrier realised that it would require a reliable and scalable hire management solution to keep up with the company’s growing international demand. They sought a solution that could be deployed remotely, track assets throughout their hire cycles, and be accessible to staff via the internet.
The Solution
Echo uses MCS’s hire management solutions to handle their end-to-end processes and keep records of all their hire assets. The following are some of the MCS-rm features that benefited the company:
Asset Tracking
The barriers Echo offers for hire are all coded, and with the help of the Asset Tracking feature of MCS-rm, they can keep track of the utilisation of all their barriers as well as their depreciation rates so that they can identify which of these assets should be sold off.
Document Management Scanning
Echo can now scan documents using an electronic format. Document Management Scanning not only saves them time but also enables them to reap the maximum benefit out of their resources.
Job Costing Module
With the Job Costing Module, Echo can measure the profitability of jobs. The system creates an internal job costing contract that allows the company to see how much each job costs. Only the top line hire rates will be displayed on the customer invoice and contract.
Purchasing
MCS-rm monitors everything that Echo purchases and also helps them manage their daily expenditure. The software helps Echo get a clear picture of their financial position and gives them more control over their cash flow.
The Benefits
Here are some of the benefits Echo Barrier has experienced with our hire management solutions:
- They can identify when a hire asset needs to be disposed of
- They have better control over their business costs
- They can get a clear picture of the internal costs of customer projects
Software used:
"It was imperative that I had an IT solution that could be easily duplicated and managed with international use in mind. The MCS cloud-based scenario means all the global databases are stored on the same virtual server and accessed remotely by Mac and PC desktop devices and I can manage the whole process and retain full control."
