Equip Customers
An early user of the system, David Black, Managing Director of Black, the York-based
power, lighting and furniture rental company is delighted with Equip. Mobius have
designed software with amazing attention to detail, providing both the foundations
for a solid efficient and workable system, plus smoothing out the wrinkles in what
is a stressful and labour intensive business.
"First and foremost it removes the possibility of double-booking. You can check
equipment availability while you are on the phone and the picking list report breaks
the order into its constituent parts - saving needless return trips."
"If a shortfall is highlighted, orders can be quickly generated as part of the system.
All in all a powerful package."
What other customers say ...
Running an equipment hire business can give you a headache.
Many companies rely on paper-based systems, relying on wall planners and memory
power - with obvious drawbacks.
"A marquee (large tent) for instance can be made up of around 200 parts, which
can be used in different sizes of marquee, with lots of parts interchangeable. It's
a similar principle with flooring. Stock control and allocation can be a nightmare
- trying to work out what is needed in the construction, and what is available,
can take hours. With loading lists, inevitably something can be missed, and
that's a massive cost in terms of time, never mind what it looks like to the
customer."
"We looked at various systems, but Equip is so easy to use. We ran Equip
alongside our manual system, phasing it in as we became familiar with all the features,
so that now we rely on it totally, from initial customer enquiry right through to
issuing the invoice. It's brilliant when dealing with repeat business- you save
so much time. "
"We're glad we invested. Equip is an invaluable piece of kit for us."
