Why work with Whalley Computer Systems?

Established in 2006 and initially based in Whalley, near Clitheroe, Lancashire, (we're now near Bolton) our company offers comprehensive IT infrastructure management and support, along with software engineering services. We work as business IT consultants, leveraging technology to solve problems and enhance business efficiency at an optimal cost. Our approach focuses on continuous improvement, addressing issues with a solution-oriented mindset, and creating long-term plans to guide our clients toward success.

We believe businesses that do not adapt to technological advancements are at risk of failure. Innovation is key, and businesses must embrace technology in their specific industry, whether it's retail, manufacturing, or finance. Drawing inspiration from successful companies like Amazon, eBay, and Facebook, we emphasize the importance of organising and utilizing business data effectively to drive improvement and avoid inefficiency.

Our programming department helps businesses by developing custom databases or bespoke CRM solutions tailored to their unique needs. This approach ensures that companies can manage their data and processes in a way that promotes growth and operational efficiency. We focus on creating solutions that align perfectly with the specific context of each business.

Our IT infrastructure management services focus on continuous improvement, ensuring efficient management of servers, networks, and workstations. This not only saves organisations time and money but also helps reduce environmental impact. We aim to optimise IT systems so businesses can operate smoothly without the constant worry of technical issues.

We are passionate about providing IT support to businesses and professionals, offering a reliable alternative to maintaining an in-house IT department. Many of our clients don’t need a full-time IT team, and we step in to deliver expert support and guidance at a fraction of the cost, providing the same level of efficiency and accessibility that would be found in a large corporate setting.

By becoming an integral part of our clients' teams, we build strong relationships with their staff through regular visits and open communication. This allows us to understand the inner workings of their business and apply our expertise in the most effective way possible. We are committed to offering personalized, high-quality IT support that meets the evolving needs of each business we work with.

We pride ourselves on the high level of support we deliver to our customers.

Kind words from some of our clients

"We are targets for cyber criminals, it's just the nature of our business it's always going to attract global attention. When we read about WCS's advanced cyber security strategies online, we were intrigued, and we've never looked back really. Everything we were doing needed a re-visit and rework, and quite rightly, the risks were there to be seen, but we didn't have someone with Matt's eye and experience. We've learnt a lot, and it's good for us."

— John, Director of Research

"I cannot think of a single issue they have not been able to resolve and most often in very short timescales. We are a rapidly growing company and support levels have never diminished during any of that period of rapid expansion. I have no hesitation in recommending them to other companies."

— Chris and Jo, Directors.

"We were manually Franking envelopes and sending out 100 sales invoices per day through the post, for no other reason than legacy reasons. Our ERP didn't do it, or if it did it was so basic. Matt spotted this issue and proposed an auto-emailing system. Staff are free'd up now from stuffing enevelopes and writing on envelopes and taking to the post office. We've upgraded the ERP twice since (Sage), and it still doesn't do the same job as our business database does to the same level of sophistication and convenience. One of many (since) simple and obvious improvements, led by our long standing IT department supplier and partner."

— Steve, Director

"From the very first meeting, Matt impressed us with his clear and honest advice and explanations. They have been a trusted partner ever since. I've worked in places with an IT department and this service is better than that."

— Mark Workington, Managing Director

"We were very happy with the work that the WCS did with regard to migrating our Exchange system from our physical office server to a cloud based solution. Matt and his team made the whole process very easy, and were excellent in dealing with a couple of unexpected issues along the way. I would happily recommend them."

— Ben, Managing Director

"We only have 5 employees, we were using a physical server in the office, and we wanted to remove it. We moved to sharepoint and OneDrive and it was enough for us and simplified our world. Matt and his support team are always available to resolve any issues promptly."

— Sarah, Office Manager.

"The WCS team has provided us with fast, reliable, and cost-effective solutions that have saved our company time and money. It's future proof as well, we have the source code, it was written for us in a bespoke system bolt-on."

— Zoe, Production

"You might hear in other feedback for other companies 'They took the time to understand our business needs' - if they're in and out in 4 weeks and hand it over to support how can they be taking the time?. But the way WCS approach things as our long term partner is the only way to have the time to understand our business needs, and that's unique. We know them, their staff, they know us and my staff. It's always going to perfectly match our requirements compared to our previous supplier with their high turnover of frontline staff. A highly reliable partner."

— Tim, Director

"The professionalism and technical expertise of the WCS team is outstanding. They have helped us scale up quickly and reliably, with minimal downtime."

— James, Director.
