DTS Solutions picks MCS-rm software to streamline radio sales and hire processes

With two depots, one in Cambridgeshire and one in Great Yarmouth, DTS serves the radio telecommunications industry across the nation. The software is hosted on DTS' premises and the company pays for its use via a monthly rolling contract.

The decision was taken, late last year, to computerise the DTS radio hire business to avoid some long winded processes. After doing a review of the rental software market, the company chose MCS, which has been providing solutions to hirers from different business sectors for over 30 years.

DTS went ‘live’ in June before its busy season began. Dave Scaife, operations manager, says, “We had been working on manual planning boards and spreadsheets for a number of years and it was about time to review what we were doing, the time it took us to complete tasks and look to see how technology could help us.”

The company is now using an electronic availability planner which offers a calendar view of all the company’s stock.
