One list, your prices
People can only order what you have approved, at your contract price. Maverick spend has nowhere to go.
Included with every trade account
Control what gets ordered, and see where it is
mCentral is the portal behind your MSC account. Approved lists, budgets that hold, approvals, live delivery tracking, invoices and carbon reporting, across every site you run.
This is the working prototype. Click to open it as an Area Manager.
Budgets that actually hold
Each site gets a monthly budget, enforced in the basket. An order that would breach it waits for an approver.
Know where every order is
A delivery window, live tracking and the driver's name, on the app, without ringing anyone.
Invoices without the email chain
Filter by date, site, PO or status and pull the invoice yourself. Same for spend and carbon reporting.
Screen by screen
Every screen here is one you can open yourself
Dashboard
Spend, orders and deliveries on one screen
Open mCentral and the position is there: what you have spent this year, how many orders are running, which sites are active and what is arriving next.
- Spend year to date, against last year
- Every delivery with its window and driver
- Scoped to what you run, whether that is one site or forty four
Approved Buying List
Only what you have approved, at the price you agreed
Your list is the catalogue your people see. Anything off it cannot reach a basket, so the contract holds itself without anyone policing it.
- Contract price on every line
- Versioned, so you can see what changed and when
- Set once centrally, or differently per site
Budget Management
A budget per site, enforced where it matters
Site users see the budget shrink as they shop. When an order would take a site over, it stops and goes to an approver instead of going out.
- Monthly budget per site
- Live basket impact, not a monthly surprise
- Breaches route to an approver automatically
Approvals
Nothing unusual leaves without you seeing it
Over budget, or over your single order threshold, and the order waits. You get the value, the site, who asked and why it was held.
- Approve or decline in one click, with a note
- Approving releases it straight to picking
- Any role can be an approver, it is not tied to seniority
Invoices
Your invoices, filtered how your finance team asks for them
Total, paid and outstanding across the sites you can see, then filter by date, status or site and take the ones you need.
- PO number on every line
- Outstanding and overdue called out
- Same figures your account manager is looking at
Reports
Spend and sustainability reporting, self serve
Monthly spend, site comparison and product breakdown, plus carbon footprint and delivery emissions for the reports you have to file.
- Carbon footprint by category
- Delivery emissions and mileage
- Site usage comparison, per head
Who sees what
The menu is the permission
A site user cannot see another site's spend, and cannot change a list or a budget. Pick a role below and the prototype opens with exactly what that role gets, nothing more.
Approvals is the exception: it is a flag on the person, not the role, so anyone can be made an approver.
Site Level
Orders for their site, tracks their deliveries, pulls their own invoices and reports.

Area Manager
Runs a patch: their sites' lists, budgets and users, and approves the orders that are held.

The app and mCentral
Everything the platform does, in one place
Order on the phone, manage the estate on the desktop. Both run on the same account, so a delivery tracked in the app is the same order signed off in mCentral.
Ordering and control
Order from the list your business has approved, inside the budget it has set, with sign-off before the spend happens.
App and mCentral
Approved buying list
Each site orders from its own agreed list, so nobody buys off-contract by accident.
App and mCentral
Budgets by category
Spend limits per category, checked live as the basket fills rather than discovered at month end.
App and mCentral
Order approvals
Orders over a threshold wait for an approver, who can amend the lines before releasing them.
App
Back-order substitutions
When a line is short, the alternative comes to you for a yes or no instead of silently vanishing.
App
Reorder in one tap
Repeat a past order from history without rebuilding the basket line by line.
Delivery and drivers
Know when it lands, talk to the driver on the way, and record what turned up once it has.
App and mCentral
Live delivery tracking
Follow the van on the day, with stops remaining and an ETA rather than a nine-to-five window.
App
Message your driver
Gate codes, access notes and where to leave it, sent to the person actually driving.
App
Rate the delivery
Score the drop as it happens, so service problems surface the same day rather than at review.
App
Delivery calendar
Every site's deliveries on one calendar, so a week can be planned around them.
App
Deliveries per order
Split deliveries tracked separately, so a part-shipped order is not a mystery.
Reporting and invoices
The paperwork and the numbers in one place, per site or across the whole estate.
mCentral
Spend and usage reports
What each site spent, on what, over any period, without asking anyone to export a spreadsheet.
mCentral
Sustainability reporting
Track the shift to lower-impact products with figures you can put in front of a client.
App and mCentral
Invoices on demand
Every invoice against the order it came from, ready to hand to accounts.
App and mCentral
Issue tracker with chat
Raise a shortage or a damage, add photos, and keep the thread with MSC on the order itself.
Multi-site and people
One account across every site, with each person seeing only what they should.
App and mCentral
Every site in one account
Switch between sites without a second login, and keep their lists and budgets separate.
mCentral
Users and permissions
Invite a site manager, decide what they can order and approve, and remove them when they leave.
App and mCentral
Notifications where you are
Order, approval and delivery updates by push, email or WhatsApp, per person.
All of it comes with a trade account
There is no separate subscription and no per-seat charge. Open an account and the app, mCentral and the reporting come with it.
The half that goes out to site
mCentral does the control, the app does the day
Cleaners and site teams are not sat at a desk. The MSC app puts ordering and deliveries in their pocket, on the same account and the same approved list.
- Live delivery tracking
- Message your driver
- Rate a delivery
- Delivery calendar
- Report an issue, with photos
- Reorder from history
Make MSC work around your operation
Tell us your sites, your users and the controls you need, and we will set the account up that way. Or open the prototype first and see whether it fits.
