Over time we have seen many areas of customers’ businesses which would benefit from being more structured and / or integrated with the main company system (such as an ERP system).

However, usually these are kept separate, typically on spreadsheets, because it is too expensive to develop the main system for the return. So companies persevere with these manual systems and get frustrated with the hidden costs associated with this, like paying wages for all the extra hours it takes specialists to collate and link data, produce reports, do formatting, error checking etc.

These areas vary from business to business but most often include time clocks, hours worked, production and productivity data, Health and Safety, quality processes, Training and development, sales data.

While ERP systems manage the big picture accounts, like CRM and Sales, Production Bill of Materials, Requirements and Planning, the physical output is often produced manually. For example, the system will output a requirement, but how and when that gets done and how long it takes is left to a manual system.

We specialize in developing applications that can automate, record and link back to other systems. Through our experience we developed off-the-shelf packages that we feel best fit the applications that our clients ask for most often. These can be used as a stand-alone, but, importantly, in most cases the key information can easily be linked to larger systems. These packages are very cost effective when compared to developing the main system to produce the same results.
