Our current large Windows-based projects use clustered SQL 2008 Enterprise Servers and our Linux projects are MySQL based.
We also program barcode scanners and handheld computers which use the Windows Mobile, Windows CE, Windows Phone 7 or Android platforms.We make extensive use of SOAP to transfer data from these to SQL-based Servers.
Most of the software we produce is for parcel, pallet or container movement companies although we have diversified into writing programs for warehousing, security access and credit control agencies.
Our customers come from all over the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and as far as the United Arab Emirates. Some of these are household names.
Customers are our best salesmen. Nearly all our new customers come as a result of a referral from an old one.
We were originally established in 1986 as a partnership and changed to a Limited Company in 2004. We moved to our current address in October, 2007.
We are a Microsoft Registered Partner and a Sage Community Developer.
We are extremely productive and exceed businesses many times our size. We still have time for development, testing and experimentation.
Currently we run quad Windows Small Business Servers (2008 & 2003 Premium Editions) and a variety of desktops with Windows 7, Vista and XP. We also use dual boot Apple Mac workstations and portables.
Most projects are developed in C#, Windev or Clarion Database Developer. For development purposes have a lot of software at our disposal other than programming languages, these include all current Microsoft main platforms and products. We are a Microsoft Partner and part of the MSDN.
