Our Services
 

Custom Software Applications Are Our Focus…

Our main emphasis is developing custom software applications for small to mid-size businesses.  

Most every business application is, at its core, a database application, and we’re experienced in a number of Microsoft database and development platforms including Visual FoxPro, Access, Visual Basic and SQL Server. We help you gather, store and analyze data and turn that data into information to support your business processes and improve decision making.

Some of Those Applications…

Our projects have covered a wide range of areas. Here’s a sampling:

• Developing solutions for growing manufacturers has always been a major focus, including such areas as:

• Order entry and invoicing

• Shipping, receiving, warehousing, and inventory control

• Production and quality data collection and analysis

• Work orders and scheduling

• Bills of material, routings, and product costing

• EDI (electronic data interchange)

• We've also served clients in many other sectors including health care, legal, and other service industries with software to manage:

• Client databases

• Human resources data

• Association membership information

• Training databases

• Customer support and call log applications

• Sales force automation

Building a Complete Solution…

Many of our software solutions involve marrying the database application with other tools and technologies such as:

• ADC (automated data collection), wireless, and mobile solutions. Whether you’re on a factory floor, in the warehouse, in your office, or on the road, capturing accurate data in a cost-effective, real-time-if-possible manner is the first step in effectively turning that data into information. We’re experienced in projects that include bar-code data collection, PDA (personal digital assistant) programming, and related tools in both batch and wireless environments.

• Database-driven Internet sites. Instead of settling for a static, just-sits-there, hard-to-update Web site, find out how a data-driven site can bring it to life and enable it for e-commerce and enhanced communication with your customers and other business partners.

• Integration with accounting, Microsoft Office, and other standard software packages. You don’t need to hire us to write a full-blown accounting package for you—there are many good ones already out there. However, we’ll quite often move data between our application and core accounting software to automate processes and eliminate duplicate data entry. Similarly, we’re frequently called on to interface our software with Office to provide additional capabilities—being able to analyze your data in Excel, perform mail merges in Word, automatically send e-mail, and so forth.

Other Services…

You want to be sure you’re using new technology to make your business more effective and competitive. At the same time, computers just need to do what they’re supposed to do—you need to run your business without worrying about the pain and hassles of computer problems.  We serve many of our customers in these areas as well.  Let us help you with technology analysis and recommendations. Find out how outsourcing all or part of your IT functions can reduce your costs and let you focus internal resources on value-added aspects of your business. We serve many of our clients in such areas as network setup and administration; hardware and software installations; administering e-mail, virus protection, and backup functions; and many other facets.
