About MCP Mobility
MCP Mobility are a family-owned business based in Cumbria, passionate about providing quality mobility solutions. Working within the leisure and tourism sector, one of their key lines of business is providing mobility scooter hire across multiple locations for holiday parks operating within the UK and Ireland.
Their Needs
To improve their business’ booking system, overall booking approach and to provide customers a self-service booking capability, MCP had identified the need to modernise their existing booking process and to enable better accessibility for their customers. The manual taking and managing of bookings via phone, email and diary was a time-consuming process with a requirement to ‘be on call’ at all hours of the day.
A new system was required that could automate the booking process, reducing the time spent manually managing bookings. The system needed to support online and manual booking methods but also enable MCP to operate with greater efficiency, so they could continue to provide high standards of customer support and satisfaction. There was also a strong recognition that the system should provide a positive experience for their customers.
Our Challenge
- Design and develop a new company site with an integrated booking system
- Provide clients with an easy-to-use online booking and payment process for mobility scooter hire at the location of their choice
- Provide MCP with the tools to easily manage bookings and scooter availability in the back-end of the system
- To reduce the manual admin and paperwork for MCP to improve efficiency in the booking process
- Ensure that each holiday park has a real-time view of the bookings at their location
The Booking System
