摘要

Do you know what equipment each of your sites has on hire, the rate for each item, if there is any damage and exactly where each machine is? Well, now a number of plant manufacturers' extranet systems allow customers to do all that and more at the click of a mouse. The system is operated through the internet and was first introduced by A-Plant in late 2000 - but it has been evolving ever since. Andy Wortley, IT director at A-Plant, says the company initially thought its big national customers would benefit most from the system, but, he adds, many smaller contractors are also using it. Logging onto the extranet via A-Plant's normal website, customers can get live reports detailing the equipment they have on hire, which depot supplied it, who hired each piece and the individual hire rate. Furthermore, customers can view up-to-the-minute statements and invoices as the information is in real-time and contains the latest transaction reports from all A-Plant's 200 depots. It also allows customers to query invoices on-line - a process that automatically updates A-Plant credit services systems. Ongoing queries can also be viewed to check their status within A-Plant. Using the system, contractors can check if the equipment they have on hire is standing idle and automatic reminders can be set up to ensure equipment is off-hired as soon as possible. While this can lead to lower rental income for A-Plant, it hopes that by saving customers money it will win their trust and loyalty. That said, the system also benefits A-Plant when it needs to locate a machine for another customer and sees one is standing idle.
