The full story

Instant data access

Hutchinson "We'd installed the M3 ERP system, were running it successfully, and reached the stage where we needed better information from it. We chose m-Power from mrc as our reporting tool ahead of the alternatives. Judged against other software tools mrc had the best product and right experience.

We now have the information we need at our fingertips.

m-Power lets us deliver information to all levels of our business, from our directors down to the staff at our depots. We now have the information we need at our fingertips - we just go and get it instantly. If I need financial data, I go to m-Power; it is my primary source of information.

Secure, multi-tenant data access

It is a very solid safe and secure system to use. Our most sensitive company data is only visible to the right people in the right format.

No more spreadsheets

It cuts out the time spent extracting and collating information into spreadsheets. The time saving for our senior management team is huge. They can't break it, the solution is easy for them to use - they just log on and press buttons to get to see what they need.

A great investment

Credit control uses a suite of m-Power applications that gives them instant account profiling, account management, and screens to enter extra information. This tailored solution has saved us having to buy a separate credit control system. m-Power has paid for itself many times over."
