“Easi-Hire was developed as a straightforward but comprehensive package. For example, it has its own accountancy software, enhancing its ability to provide a mobile system giving users all the information they need.

Extra functionality
MCS has also developed a .NET version of its MCS-rm software, which will be demonstrated at the Show. “As well as being simpler for many users to set up a network, it will be easier to add extra functionality to the program in future,” said Sales Manager Nick Thomson. “Developments can also be implemented faster, ultimately reducing costs for the customer.” MCS will also be demonstrating aspects such as its web portal, barcode technology, and improved information gathering through KPI reporting.
