Background<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Mr. Plant Hire<\/a> was founded in 1981 by David Elsdon. They\u2019re dedicated to ensuring top-quality plant, an excellent level of service, and an unequivocal commitment to safety. Lucy Mitchell, the company\u2019s powered access assistant manager, has been with the company since 2010, when the company was already using Syrinx.<\/p>\n

Problem<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The company is trying to go paperless. Between printing barcodes and scanning them to go against contracts, drivers carrying delivery or collection notes and having to wait for paperwork to return to enter it, a lot of time and money was being wasted on paper.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/strong><\/h6>\n

In 2018, Mr. Plant Hire implemented several Point of Rental apps designed specifically to aid in creating paperless offices, like Driver, Driver Scheduler, and Workshop.<\/p>\n

Result<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The apps have helped save Lucy heaps of time in her role.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Driver Scheduler, [delivery\/collection notes are] already on the system. As soon as it\u2019s confirmed, the contract can go straight out to the customer,\u201d she said. \u201cThe whole process is just a lot quicker and the customers prefer it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because the data is also available to the admin team, information is accurately passed between different departments, eliminating mix-ups and frustrating last-second scrambles to try to overcome them.<\/p>\n

And when Mr. Plant Hire wanted customised offhire, on-hire, and collection reports to reflect information they\u2019d been getting from other hire companies, Point of Rental was able to provide the data they were looking for, allowing them to better serve their customers as well.<\/p>\n

While Lucy\u2019s never known another hire software, she says Syrinx is popular with Mr. Plant Hire\u2019s more recently hired staff: \u201cA colleague of mine said that this is the best [hire software] she\u2019s ever used. It\u2019s easy, simple, and not hard to navigate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
