MRP Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below explain why your organization needs a Production Management system, the characteristics that distinguish 123mrp.NET from competing products and the financial and risk safeguards inherent in our way of doing business.

Why do I need a production management system?

Because manual systems are simply too inefficient to meet the needs of a modern manufacturing facility – to save time, reduce staff effort, reduce inventory, deliver more quickly and accurately – in short to make a business more easily manageable and profitable.

The challenge then becomes to find a system that will actually achieve these objectives, quickly and effectively and with minimum risk – many do not!

Why does Rent-I.T. Systems offer a monthly payment plan as opposed to selling the software outright?

To break the traditional system procurement mould, characterized by a time-consuming and disruptive evaluation process, with no certainty that the right choice is being made from conflicting functionality and cost/benefit claims – to the point of significant risk of total failure in implementing the system finally selected.

Our no-commitment monthly payment plan removes the obstacle of major capital software commitment and allows you to directly align expense with returns. This unique and demonstrably successful approach enables clients to move forward without delay and gain maximum benefits in the shortest possible time. Read more about this in our 'rent vs buy' article.

Why is there no minimum contract period for 123mrp.NET?

To make it even easier - a ‘non-decision’ - to adopt 123mrp.NET. It’s also a measure of our faith in the product and its ability to meet your needs - because we know that once you have it you will love it and continue to use it.

Our ‘no minimum contract period’ business philosophy also provides the assurance that we are delivering a system that we truly believe will meet your needs, because if for some reason it will not it is in both our best interests to tell you immediately.

How can you offer this product on a low monthly payment when competitors sell comparable systems for such large sums?

In a word – efficiency:

Firstly, in promoting and selling – we don’t engage in the traditional protracted procurement cycle (where, by the way, the one client that buys also has to pay for the numerous failed efforts!). We present the facts simply and straightforwardly and leave you to decide.

Secondly, in support - 123mrp.NET is designed to align closely with the way you work today so the need to clarify (and re-clarify) obscure computer procedures doesn’t exist, nor an army of support personnel to do it. Help with getting the best out of the system is, however, always at hand.

Thirdly, the software has been engineered to be extremely reliable. It simply doesn’t break, thereby further reducing the support burden.

Fourthly, because our business model reduces administration to an absolute minimum.

Finally, because of the highly structured and exceptionally efficient way we do software development.

Will I have to pay a maintenance and support fee in addition to the monthly payment costs?

No - the monthly payment covers all software maintenance, support and all future updates, giving automatic access to the latest versions and any support required without additional charge. There are no unpredictable or hidden charges.

Some users feel taken advantage of by the software industry, with high priced systems and no certainty of success -is Rent-I.T. Systems/123mrp.NET somehow different?

Traditional vendors’ high prices reflect, apart from anything else, the sheer high cost of doing business in the traditional way, the need to be paid up front in case of failure and the heavy support requirements due to the cumbersome way traditional systems work.

123mrp.NET puts the client in full control with no up front commitment and the ability to cancel at any time. It introduces, for the first time, a unique concept of SHARED SUCCESS: if it doesn’t work for you it doesn’t work for us.

It is also your safeguard that we will continue to stay focussed in satisfying your needs as they evolve over time.

If I’m not 100% sure, can I try the system without fully committing myself?

Absolutely, the 123mrp.NET approach eliminates commitment in the conventional sense because monthly payments can be ceased any time.

By contrast, the procurement procedures, and excessive training and support requirements for traditional systems prohibit such a step-by-step approach and the opportunity for a truly meaningful evaluation.

123mrp.NET’s ease of understanding and use also make it straightforward to assess suitability for your needs. That done, minimal training prepares you for self-sufficient implementation and rapid realisation of results.

In the (very) unlikely event that you later find 123mrp.NET somehow not suitable for your needs, nothing is lost because you can immediately cancel the monthly payments and seek an alternative – BUT, you will be doing this with a much better understanding of what you actually need and even in this case 123mrp.NET will have been a worthwhile investment.
