Compiling the results of feedback from our Plant Manager software customers have given some startling conclusions.
Joyce Software conducted market reseach into the top ten most queried items when checking invoices. Using Plant Manager our clients were able to easily collate invoice queries and report on individual Plant Hire companies regarding all queries outstanding and resolved queries within a specific time period.
The results are given below :-
The Top Ten Plant Hire Invoice Queries are :-
1. Incorrect Off hire dates.
2. Incorrect hire rates.
3. Charged for full week and not agreed day rates.
4. Charging for bank holidays and Christmas shut down.
5. Not applying new reduced agreed hire rates.
6. Charges for damage to equipment when arrived on site
7. Charges for ancillary items i.e. sharpening, blade wear etc.
8. Charges for fuel when item off hired.
