We will tackle almost any bespoke development project, although historically we have specialised in stock control and distribution systems. The languages we have chosen to use are Delphi together with either Interbase or Firebird database for Windows-based systems and Sculptor 4GL for systems involving heavy transaction processing under Unix and Windows. We have also used Lotus Notes for text orientated applications and Visual Basic.

 Over the years we have completed a variety of projects including:-

•  A stock control and order processing system for steel processors which are converting coils to blanks for fabricating companies. Originally written as a bespoke, this software has become a standard product and is now known as CoilStock. Its development is ongoing, with modules for works orders and production control due to commence shortly. CoilStock is written using Delphi and is deployed as a client/server application using InterBase/Firebird and Windows servers. It currently links to Sage Line 50 and Line 100 financial accounts.
  
  
• A stock control and distribution system for a third party warehousing company. A number of systems for the production of warehouse and delivery documentation, stock turnover and delivery performance analysis, and charge-out calculations have been developed. It includes electronic capture of data from clients and EDI, as well as dial-in, ISDN and virtual private network access for order entry, enquiries and reports. This software has also become a standard product and is now known as Warehouse 2.
  
  
• An internet enquiry and order entry system for use by our client’s customers and representatives which resides on a web server in our customer’s offices. It passes real-time information directly back to the main stock control system and includes an automated email facility so that office-based staff are made aware of online activity.
  
  
• A labelling system to import customers' own data and output onto consignment labels in a format required by White Arrow Express Ltd.
  
  
• A data entry system to allow information to be allocated automatically to the correct nominal codes across three companies within a Sage Line 100 system. The weekly summaries of sales, expenses and receipts from over 30 branches are entered onto a screenbased form which then automates the posting to each company and nominal code with analysis of each branch as a cost centre.
  
  
• Sophisticated reporting from live Sage Line 50 data using Microsoft Excel and ActiveX controls.
