Supplier of management information systems to the print and packaging industries, Shuttleworth Business Systems has created a new division, which will deliver bespoke software solutions. Shuttleworth Plus is aimed at improving customers’ use of their existing MIS as well as developing individual software tools to customers’ exact specifications.
Joint managing director, Andy King, said, ‘We are satisfying a latent demand for bespoke solutions. On many occasions we have had to turn down work as our prices were not competitive enough. With this new division we can now offer fast turnaround and low prices to our customers.’
Released on June 15, version 5.1 is the latest update of the Shuttleworth MIS and it includes Business Intelligence, a set of tools featuring enhanced dashboards, customer specific KPIs, user definable reporting, executive analysis, web-based reporting together with mobile apps. The Plus division can create more dashboards and reports for users delivered in just 24 to 48 hours at a very low cost. This data can also be shared with the users’ customers. Other products include links to other software systems and websites for report distribution.
One bespoke software tool was created by the new division for NSD International. This enabled the printer to connect the MIS with its barcode printer, something that had long been a major problem. Ron Bagnall, IT manager at NSD reported, ‘I was impressed with the speed and efficiency of the development and it achieved exactly what we wanted it do.’
