Sharing Data

Our highly skilled software development team often achieve the impossible - challenge us!

Cathryn Fox, Managing Director, Objective

We need to share data with our Clients

Client Requirement:

The company handled many small jobs involving site visits and work. The system was a muddle of word documents, pieces of paper, excel spreadsheets and individual access databases. Much information was stored in people's heads, and they were based in different locations thoughout the UK 

The key driver for the job based system was a new high-value contract with insurance companies, who required access to information, job status and job turnround.

Technical considerations included: data and bandwidth, client environment, security and auditing, updates and new releases.

Solution:

The solution was a fully functional operational system comprising  a Windows application, web application/extranet and data collection via digital pen and Microsoft Exchange Server.
All systems were linked to a central SQL database.

The web application provided clients secure login tailored to their corporate image and individual information and reporting requirements. It also handled multi-site operational requirements for each job as well as certificates and invoicing.

The windows application handles the heavy and process intensive requirement of resource management allowing central allocation of resources for jobs.

Both systems provide a wide range of management reports.

The system has allowed the company huge competitive edge in competing for high volume, low value work and has resulted in them winning contracts worth millions of pounds.
