Business Solutions to Business Problems

Many of the challenges that you have in the working day could be improved by the application of a business system. These systems can be simply the creation of a document/spreadsheet or require a more complex solution. When it comes to the more complex, then we can help.

We have created systems for companies large and small, and can either supply an existing solution that you can adapt to your needs or create a custom solution.

Examples & Case Studies

Case Study – Excel VBA Sales Analyser

The project involved creating a spreadsheet to import global sales data and mark the company’s performance against its competitors around the world at a per product level. The data was then matched against key legal benchmarks at a per country level. The monthly process was fully automated via Excel VBA and advanced formula mathematics.

The analyser generated key reports to identify products not meeting the key legal benchmarks and those products that were marginal compliant. The analyser also had linked into key internal testing systems as well as shipping forecasts for additional enhanced reporting.

The final VBA spreadsheet was released in 3 flavours with adjustments for different business divisions within the organisation to meet their specific product and legal requirements.

Stock Ordering Tool

What does it do? If you need a system to forecast sales of particular product at a location so that you can project how much stock you need to order to effectively fill the floor space you have allocated then this is the system for you. By using this system you are able to order accurate amounts of stock and, for items that have a very short shelf life, only order the amount needed based on what can be displayed, thus considerably reducing the wastage.

The system stores detail of each store’s capability and allows you to import the sales data, then, based on this data, suggests the numbers to be supplied to the store. Who uses it? Any retail outlet that needs to effectively plan stock and display capacity.

Flexi Time System

What does it do? Do you operate flexi time with your employees or need to monitor how much time an individual spends on a project? Our flexi time system is installed on every employee’s computer so they can “log in” when they arrived at work and “log out” on leaving work. Once running, it monitors the time spent on different projects or departments and the overall working hours.

You can easily see how many hours employees were working and check flexible working practices were being adhered to – the finance department can also correctly allocate costs to the projects for the time the employees were undertaking. Who uses it? Any organisation that has cross departmental projects or operates a flexi time policy.
