We offer a wide range of bespoke software design services and other web-based and networking services. This allows us to design and provide complete solutions. |
| Bacause all Companies are different! |
Because all companies are unique it is impossible to find an off-the-shelf software package that can cater for all your company's needs. The only solution is bespoke software! Lottbridge Systems specialise in bespoke software solutions and have written complete systems for several large players in various industries as well as for smaller companies. The advantage's can be enormous - increased productivity and efficiency are just two.
|
Bespoke software solutions tend to quickly pay for themselves and also have the effect of making companies more effective players in the market place.

Company 1:
Fabricator of windows, doors and conservatories
 |
The company premises occupy four different sites that are linked by structured cabling, radio and laser links. Ten servers handle file serving, email, Internet gateway, database management routines and fax.
A complete bespoke software package was developed to handle customer account management, supplier account management, purchase orders, sales orders, stock control, personnel management, swipe card machines for time and attendance, production, reporting, accounts reconciliation, and work-flow monitoring. The package has been integrated with the production systems (Window Designer), accounts software (Pegasus Opera II), and email software (Officetalk).
|
Servers were commissioned to monitor the workflow of items passing through the database and to poll responsible individuals when items required their attention. This systems opened up two-way communication between the system and the users - so that jobs that need evaluating, credits that need authorising, escalating issues that are overdue and asking for help if system failures are detected.
In an independent UK-wide audit of IT operations we were rated in the top 5% for IT support services.

Company 2:
National distributor of sweets and confectionery
|
Lottbridge Systems were given a brief to develop an in-house stock control and inventory system to replace its very old, DOS based system.
The original set-up was replaced with new hardware and a more modern, Windows based, application that has continued to develop in parallel with company needs. It now handles multi-branch stock control, inventory, customer account management, buying group management, invoicing, rep. account management, payroll, reporting, and integration with its accounting package (Pegasus Opera II).
|
Support contract provides remote system control. If a user has an issue we can link up and see the problem on their local screen and interactively resolve the issue for them - showing them on their own computer, if need be.
Further enhancements are planned to the email system, a facility to enable the reps to book stock and invoice customers from mobile units in their vans as well as EDI (electronic data interchange) to eliminate the need for paper invoices.
|
Company 3:
Supplier of marine hardware, stainless fastenings and fixings
 |
The initial brief was to develop an in-house point-of-sale, stock control/inventory system.
The bespoke software was developed from the ground up in close connection with the proprietor and as the company's requirements developed the software was updated.
|
It now manages stock purchasing, stock inventory, invoice printing, customer account management, multiple discount levels, and web site generation - allowing customers to browse the entire catalogue and place orders online.
