MARKUS® Plant started life as a bespoke product for a single customer, but has since been extended and enhanced as a general tool to manage plant hire and consumables. MARKUS® Plant is also available fully integrated with MARKUS® Buying as a single purchasing solution.

Like its buying cousin, the plant system is able to be used with requisitions, invoice matching and integrated to your accounts system.

The initial view the user is presented with can be tailored to show either the requisitions that they need to deal with, or current hires that they are responsible for. This approach to usability is visible throughout the product; important information is clearly displayed and management reports are readily accessible to help the users manage the plant they have on hire.

The system supports a variety of measures of time including days, 5 day weeks, 7 day weeks and months. As well as handling straight forward hires the system is also capable of managing consumables, collection and delivery charges and additional damage charges.

Plant numbers can be recorded against items on hire so you can track individual pieces of equipment within your organisation. This is especially useful as the system tracks the movement of plant between sites within a single hire period.

At the touch of a button MARKUS® Plant is able to calculate the accruals across your whole organisation, split by site or contract as appropriate. The reserves will include invoices not yet passed, deliveries not yet invoiced and the commitment of orders not yet delivered.
