We recognise that small manufacturers such as yourself face a number of challenges in order to streamline your business operations and improve productivity and efficiency.

Through our experiences some of the most common business challenges that our customers face include:

Staff challenges

• key staff have worked there for over 10 years and are resistant to change
• when their sales volume increase their manually driven processes almost fall over
• lots of valuable business information is only known to key staff and isn't available if they are off sick
• IT systems are considered too complex for some staff so this will do more harm than good

Systems and processes challenges

• their paper based system has worked for many years - how can it be replicated exactly by a new IT system?
• they have had heard 1st hand experiences from bigger manufacturers who had difficulty implementing enterprise resource planning systems
• finding order information and job cards means searching through lots of paperwork
• not wanting to bring in a large system which is too complex for their needs

How we help tackle your business challenges

Our approach to developing new IT systems to enable you to tackle all these challenges head on is through involving you and your staff in the design of your new system.

This approach is called user-centered design, and just like our existing customers we doubt you will have ever heard of this phrase!
