MCS Rental Software Optimizes Bulk Rentals, Enhancing Efficiency and Inventory Management
MCS Rental Software has introduced key updates for bulk rental operations, tackling the logistical and financial complexities of non-serialized rentals. These enhancements streamline tracking, automate project allocations, and improve delivery and return accuracy.
The new phased delivery scheduling feature enables rental businesses to manage large orders in stages, ensuring equipment arrives at the right time and sequence. The software also simplifies check-ins by categorizing returned items by condition—cleaning required, damaged, or beyond repair—each with linked charges for accurate billing.
For yard operations, real-time tracking updates item availability upon return, keeping stock levels accurate and operations organized. The mobile-friendly design allows on-site staff to photograph equipment, capture signatures, and manage essential tasks easily.
“These updates address bulk rental needs head-on,” said Josh Lewis, president of MCS US. “Our customers rely on the accuracy of their inventory for forecasting, scheduling, and so much more. With MCS, everything happens in real-time as users move through the workflow, so no other manual updates are required.”
These enhancements are now available to all MCS users, empowering bulk rental businesses with improved efficiency and accuracy.
