Do you need an internal business database building? You probably think you need ‘something’ in some areas of your business – usually we find these sorts of problems can be solved with a business database. You may already use copious amounts of excel documents and word documents to record and share your data – but these need constant management and review, various versions can exist and no-one’s sure which one can be deleted, which one is still being used. You can't reliably report on the contents of all related excel sheets, they'll soon fall apart when scaled up - which is one of the reasons why excel is not a professional database.

You may have Sage and maybe an Access database. Access is a halfway house, and unreliable between windows/office versions, and industry support is depleting. Sage is good for one thing only – accounting. If you go for the expensive version of Sage – which is Sage ERP 1000 – there are hundreds of add-ons you can buy, but they are expensive to install and often do more than you need – and often not quite everything you actually want.

You may be using too much paper – printing everything out, or writing by hand to give to/communicate with another department. Each time you copy data from place to place (from your notepad to email and then to excel or into sage) you run the risk of data corruption. ‘One single input to many outputs’ situations can be achieved using a business database - email, SMS, big display screens, handheld scanners, anywhere.

Well, there is a solution, we can build you a custom business database. It has core modules for achieving auto invoicing, auto reports, it can communicate with TV screen displays, it can auto print, it can read, harvest and store documents that are scanned in. Then come your internal processes which can often be unique and this is where a custom built database model of those processes comes in handy.

why? A database is a proven and reliable way to store and share large amounts of critical data fast and accurately. Easily backed up, because it's all in a central place physically.

When you have a business database…

It lowers administration times

It lowers the need therefore for extra staff per unit of growth. you can scale up. control everything.

That’s what we do with databases, in a large nutshell, we are hired to help a business use IT infrastructure to be more efficient. To help transition them from using one system to using another - training people who need that extra help than those who are less confident. We know how to get the job done. We expertly manage projects from start to finish. We also have IT Systems Engineers, programmers, and Business Process Engineers who can be employed under the management of our IT Project Manager, all from under one roof. Issue logs managed, risks identified, right through to assured completion.

We’re based in the North West and we are looking for motivated, ambitious companies who want to streamline the time wasted on repetitive actions and communicate using fast, semi-automatic and automatic processes. Trim off the fat, and have fast lean processes instead.
